Description
We have measured the yields of protons and A=2 endash 4 nuclei in collisions between 10.8AthinspGeV/c Au beams and targets of Al, Cu, and Au. The data, which cover a broad rapidity range at low transverse momenta, were measured as a function of collision centrality using a focusing beam line spectrometer and a high-rate centrality detector. We investigate the dependence of coalescence parameters on event geometry. The data are compared with the predictions of an RQMD+coalescence model. copyright 1998 The American Physical Society
