Systematics of inclusive photon production in 158.A GeV Pb induced reactions on Ni, Nb, and Pb targets
The multiplicity of inclusive photons has been measured on an event- by-event basis for 158.A GeV Pb induced reactions on Ni, Nb, and Pb targets. The systematics of the pseudorapidity densities at midrapidity ( rho /sub max/) and the width of the pseudorapidity distributions have been studied for va...

Sumario: | The multiplicity of inclusive photons has been measured on an event- by-event basis for 158.A GeV Pb induced reactions on Ni, Nb, and Pb targets. The systematics of the pseudorapidity densities at midrapidity ( rho /sub max/) and the width of the pseudorapidity distributions have been studied for varying centralities for these collisions. A power law fit to the photon yield as a function of the number of participating nucleons gives a value of 1.12+or-0.03 for the exponent. The mean transverse momentum, <p/sub T/>, of photons determined from the ratio of the measured electromagnetic transverse energy and photon multiplicity, remains almost constant with increasing rho /sub max/. Results are compared with model predictions. (29 refs). |
