Abstract
We compute the centrality dependence of multiplicities of particles produce d in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions at various energies and atomic nu mbers. The computation is carried out in perturbative QCD with saturated de nsities of produced gluons and by including effects of nuclear geometry. Nu mbers are given for Au + Au collisions at RHIC energies. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
