Measurements of transverse energy and energy at zero degrees are compared with the results of a Glauber-type multiple collision model calculations. The best fit to the data shows that the degree of nuclear stopping is large. This theoretical model also predicts energy densities and shows how the energy density changes as the projectile and target masses change. 10 refs., 5 figs.
