Minijets: Transverse-energy flow in very-high-energy nuclear collisions

We estimate the transverse energy produced by semihard partonic interactions in nuclear collisions at c.m. energies of the order of 1 TeV per nucleon. Keeping properly into account multiple partonic interactions the transverse-energy spectrum has no longer any power divergence for small values of the cutoff $p_t^{min}$ which separates the semihard region from the soft one.
