Global transverse and forward energy measurements for Si+A and Au+A at the AGS

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6581058
The global transverse and forward energy from Si+Al,Au at 14.6A GeV/c and Au+Al,Au, at 11.6A GeV/c have been measured using the E802 lead-glass and ZCAL. Preliminary d[sigma]/dE[sub T], dE[sub T]/d[eta] and d[sigma]dT[sub ZCAL] spectra are presented, and the shapes of the spectra from different systems are compared. The transverse and forward energies in Au+Au are observed to be anticorrelated in a manner that is reproduced by the cascade model ARC but not by the essentially geometric model Fritiof.
