Description

Intranuclear cascade, one of the most important non-linear effects in high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions, is investigated, its influence on the target mass dependence of the distributions of final state particles is discussed. Using hydrodynamical model to treat non-linear effects, the main features of the rapidity distributions and their dependence on the target mass are naturally explained. The results of numerical calculation for 16O-A central collisions at 60 and 200 A GeV agree with the existing data. (orig.)
