The model, in a simple way, agrees with all the existing data and is consistent with the presence of the percolation transition to the Quark-Gluon Plasma already at the CERN-SPS. It leads to strict saturation of the particle (pseudo-)rapidity density, normalised to the number of participant nucleons, as that number increases. A comparison with recent WA98 data is presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-01-09T10:38:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "heavy ion collisions", "particle rapidity density", "collective phenomena", "charged particle pseudo-rapidity densities", "participant nucleons" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 551974, "adsabs": "2001hep.ph....1072U" } } }
