A simple model for transverse energy distribution in heavy ion collisions
arXiv:hep-ph/9812295
Abstract
A simple geometrical model (often quoted in literature as the Glauber model) of heavy ion collisions is recapitulated. It is shown that the transverse energy distribution of heavy ion collisions follow the geometry of the collision. An extension of the model to include rapidity and transverse mass particle spectra is discussed.
