Transverse Energy Production inPb208+ Pb Collisions at 158 GeV per Nucleon

Abstract: Measurements of the forward and the transverse energy in 158 GeV per nucleon Pb + Pb collisions are presented.A total transverse energy of about 1 TeV is created in central collisions. An energy density of about 3 GeV/fm is estimated for near head-on collisions. Only statistical fluctuations are seen in the ratio of electromagnetic to hadronic transverse energy. PACS numbers: 25.75.+r, 12.38.Mh Collisions of heavy nuclei at high energies serve as a unique tool for studying strongly interacting matter under … Show more

“…In the case of the collisions of equal heavy ions (P b−P b in our case) at zero impact parameter, about 6% of nucleons from every nucleus do not interact inelastically at energy √ s N N = 18 GeV. More accurate, we obtain on the average 11.8 non-interacting nucleons at this energy, that is in agreement with the value 13±2 nucleons [9], based on the VENUS 4.12 [10] model prediction.…”

“…AMPT [68] is a Monte Carlo event generator that builds on HIJING [46], adding explicit interactions between initial minijet partons and final-state hadronic interactions. HYDJET [19,23,25,26,29,64,67]. The band shows the extrapolation from lower energies with the width representing the uncertainty on the fit [26].…”
