Abstract
In a collision between relativistic heavy ions the projectile (target) nucleons encounter an effective number of target (projectile) nucleons. We calculate these numbers by allowing the nucleons to move on bent trajectories. A comparison is made with the result obtained from the usual straight-line (eikonal) assumption. The implications for one-nucleon inclusive spectra are discussed.Keywords
