Transverse energy production in {sup 208}Pb+Pb collisions at 158 GeV per nucleon

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters
Measurements of the forward and the transverse energy in 158 GeV per nucleon {sup 208}Pb+Pb collisions are presented. A total transverse energy of about 1 TeV is created in central collisions. An energy density of about 3GeV/fm{sup 3} is estimated for near head-on collisions. Only statistical fluctuations are seen in the ratio of electromagnetic to hadronic transverse energy. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital The} {ital American} {ital Physical} {ital Society}.
