Pion absorption versus compression effects in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

Inclusive particle spectra are calculated based on a multiple-collision model which fits the negative-pion multiplicity for central collisions using two different prescriptions. In one case pion absorption and in the other case compressional degrees of freedom are considered to effect this. From a comparision with measured proton, deuteron, triton, and negative pion inclusive spectra for the reaction Ar on KCl at 800 MeV/nucleon, no conclusive evidence for strong compression effects can be extracted.
