Stopping in Relativistic Heavy Ion Reactions - From SIS to RHIC
arXiv:nucl-ex/0106017 · doi:10.1556/APH.15.2002.3-4.13
Abstract
The status of stopping in heavy ion reactions is reviewed by comparing available data in pp, pA and AA systems over the energy regime sqrt(s_NN) ~ 2.5 - 130 GeV/c. The data consist of average rapidity losses, anti-proton over proton ratios, and net-baryon values at mid-rapidity. The overall features of nuclear stopping are reasonbly well described by simple extrapolations of pp, and pA collisions to AA
