Abstract
Measurements of the global transverse energy distributions dsigma/dE(T ) and dE(T)/deta using the new AGS beam of Au-197 at 11.6A GeV/c on a Au target, as well as a beam of Si-28 at 14.6A GeV/c on Al and Au targ ets, are presented for a lead-glass detector with acceptance 1.3 less- than-or-equal-to eta less-than-or-equal-to 2.4 and 0 less-than-or-equa l-to phi < 2pi. The dsigma/dE(T) spectra are observed to have differen t shapes for the different systems and simple energy rescaling does no t account for the projectile dependence. The Au+Au dsigma/dE(T) spectr um is satisfactorily constructed from the upper edge of Si+Au by the g eometric Wounded Projectile Nucleon Model after applying a correction for the beam energy.
