Studies of relativistic heavy ion collisions at the AGS (E814 /E877). Annual progress report, 1 May 1992--30 April 1993

摘要

Efforts have continued in the area of peripheral and central collisions of relativistic heavy ions. In the area of peripheral collisions, the analysis of the 1n and 2p decay channels has been completed. In the area of central collisions, the first measurement of the E(sub T) distributions in Au + Au collisions, through the use of the participant calorimeter, was completed, and the results were compared with those obtained in collisions with Si projectiles. In addition, a thorough study of two-particle correlation functions was carried out by use of the data from the silicon pad multiplicity detector. Differential cross sections for 14.6-GeV/c (sup 28)Si on Al, Cu, and Pb, and 11.4-GeV/c (sup 197)Au on Al, Cu, Au, and Pb are given. 32 figs., 4 tabs., 24 refs.
