High Energy Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions In View Of The Multi-Peripheral Model

Abstract

The hypothesis of the multi peripheral model is extended to the hadron-nucleus interactions and then generalized to the nucleus-nucleus case. The processing of the model depends on input parameters that are extracted from the features of the experiments in this field. The number of encountered nucleons from both target and projectile are estimated according to the eikonal scattering approach. The screening effect due to the interaction of the projectile nucleons in successive manner with the target nucleus is considered. The rapidity distributions of fast particles are reproduced for the successive collisions in p-S and $^{32}$S-$^{32}$S interactions at 200 A GeV. A global fair agreement is found in comparison with data of the experiment SLAC-NA-035.
