Abstract
We propose a numerical definition for baryon stopping in relativistic heavy ion collisions that is obtainable from final hadron rapidity distributions as well as from bremsstrahlung measurements. Thus a new channel of communi cation is opened between the two methods. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. Al l rights reserved.
