| Abstract: | Using the Glauber model,we discuss the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions in heavy-ion collisions.Based on the latter,after considering the effect of energy loss of the nucleons in multiple colli- sions,we derive the pseudorapidity distribution of the multiplicity as a function of the impact parameter in nucleus-nucleus collisions.Using this,we analyze the experimental measurements carried out by the BRAHMS Collaboration in Au Au collisions at Pseudorapidity distribution of multiplicity in Au Au collisions at (S_(NN))~(1/2)=200 GeV=200 GeV.The results are in good agreement with the experi- mental observations. |
