Scaling of Particle and Transverse Energy Production in 208Pb+208Pb collisions at 158 A GeV
Abstract
Transverse energy, charged particle, and photon pseudorapidity distributions have been studied as a function of the number of participants (N_{part}) and the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions (N_{coll}) in 158 A GeV Pb+Pb collisions over a wide impact parameter range. A scaling of the transverse energy and charged particle pseudorapidity density at midrapidity as N_{part}^{1.08} and N_{coll}^{0.83} is observed. This faster than linear scaling with N_{part} indicates a violation of the naive Wounded Nucleon Model.Keywords
