Description

The transverse energy distributions have been measured for interaction of 32S nuclei with Al, Ag, W, Pt, Pb, and U targets, at an incident energy of 200 GeV per nucleon in the pseudorapidity region -0.1 < ηlab < 5.5. These distributions are compared with those for 16O-W interactions in the same pseudorapidity region and with earlier measurements performed with 16O and 32S projectiles in the region -0.1 < ηlab < 2.9. These comparisons provide both a better understanding of the dynamics involved and improved estimates of stopping power and energy density. (orig.)
