Abstract
Charged particle pseudorapidity density distributions in Au induced re actions in nuclear emulsion at 10.7 A GeV have been measured. In perip heral events the shower particle distribution exhibits a two peak stru cture while in central collisions it has a Gaussian shape. The spectat or protons appear in the second peak in the pseudorapidity spectra and exhibits a broader momentum distribution than expected from Fermi mot ion. The produced particle yield in central collisions is not substant ially different from phenomenological descriptions based on data from O and S induced reactions.
