Geometrical description for the negative correlation between forward and transverse energies in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions
- Institute of Particle Physics, Hua-Zhong Normal University, Wuhan 430070 (China)
Recent experimental data on the negative correlation between forward energy and transverse energy, which have been reported for the interactions of 14.6{ital A} GeV {sup 28}Si with Al, Cu, Au, and Pb, 60{ital A} and 200{ital A} GeV {sup 16}O and {sup 32}S with S, Cu, Ag, and Au, are investigated by a model based on the description of geometrical properties of nucleus-nucleus collision processes. A parameter, ellipticity {ital e}, which might describe the conversion of initial energy into that of radiated final-state hadrons is proposed.
