Abstract
A simplified relativistic-hydrodynamic calculation of shock waves occurring during the encounter of two complex nuclei shows the nuclear density in the compressed region does not exceed an upper limit whose value depends on the ansatz for the nuclear equation of state, and differs from the upper limit of the density of the compressed region predicted by an analogous nonrelativistic calculation.Keywords
