Global transverse energy distributions in Si+Al,Au at 14.6 A GeV/c and Au+Au at 11.6A GeV/c.
Measurements of the global transverse energy distributions d{sigma}/dE{sub T} and dE{sub T}/d{eta} using the new AGS beam of 197Au at 11.6A GeV/c on a Au target, as well as a beam of 28Si at 14.6A GeV/c on Al and Au targets, are presented for a leadglass detector with acceptance 1.3 {le} {eta} {le} 2.4 and 0 {le} {phi} < 2{pi}. The d{rho}/dET spectra are observed to have different shapes for the different systems and simple energy rescaling does not account for the projectile dependence. The Au+Au d{sigma}/dE{sub T} spectrum is satisfactorily constructed from the upper edge of Si+Au by the geometric Wounded Projectile Nucleon Model after applying a correction for the beam energy.
