Abstract
The probability of a projectile nucleon to traverse a target nucleus withou t interaction is calculated for central Si-Pb collisions and compared to th e data of E814. The calculations are performed in two independent ways, via Glauber theory and using the transport code UrQMD. For central collisions Glauber predictions are about 30 to 50% higher than experiment, while the o utput of UrQMD does not show the experimental peak of beam rapidity particl es.
