Mi. Adamovich et al., RAPIDITY DENSITY DISTRIBUTIONS AND THEIR FLUCTUATIONS IN VIOLENT AU-INDUCED NUCLEAR-INTERACTIONS AT 11.6-A GEV C/, Physics letters. Section B, 322(1-2), 1994, pp. 166-170
The first rapidity density distributions from relativistic collisions
between truly heavy nuclei are presented. The distributions are compar
ed with expectations from a linear extrapolation of results obtained f
rom collisions with lighter nuclei. Fluctuations are essentially descr
ibed by a simple scenario with stochastic emission.
