The total charge of the projectile spectator fragments, Q pf is taken as a measure of the degree of centrality of collision thus defining the collision geometry. In this paper the mean multiplicities of the different charged secondaries emitted in the interaction of 24 Mg-Em at 4.5A GeV have been investigated as a function of the total charge Q pf of the projectile spectator fragments. It has been observed that the average number of the produced particles, and the heavily ionizing particles, decreases exponentially with the increase of Q pf showing strong correlation with the geometry of the collision. An attempt has also been made to compare these results with 84 Kr-Em interaction at 0.95A GeV.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
