Description

Complete events of the symmetric collisions Ca+Ca at E/A=400 MeV and 1050 MeV and Nb+Nb at E/A=400 MeV and 650 MeV have been measured with the Plastic Ball/Wall 4π spectrometer. The degree of isotropy expressed by the ratio of the mean transverse to the mean longitudinal momentum in each event is determined as a function of the charged particle multiplicity. Also discussed are proton energy distributions at THETAsub(cm)=900 and their multiplicity dependences. (orig.)
