T. Wibig, INELASTICITY AND INTRANUCLEAR CASCADING IN GEOMETRICAL MULTICHAIN MODEL, Journal of physics. G, Nuclear and particle physics, 24(3), 1998, pp. 567-577
The inelasticity in nucleus-nucleus collisions at high energies is cal
culated in the framework of geometrical multichain model. The very fas
t increase of the inelasticity is found as a result of a second-stage
cascading process. The same behaviour is expected for all the models u
sing the wounded nucleon idea The simple formula for the number of wou
nded nucleons inside colliding nuclei does not need to be exact.
