Charge particle multiplicity and transverse energy measurements in Ausingle bondAu collisions in PHENIX at RHIC Original Research Article

We present results on charged particle (dNch/dη) and transverse energy densities (dET/dη) measured at mid-rapidity in Ausingle bondAu collisions at View the MathML source GeV. The mean transverse energy per charged particle is derived. The results are presented as a function of centrality, which is defined by the number of participating nucleons (Np), and compared to results obtained in Ausingle bondAu collisions at View the MathML source GeV. A comparison with calculations from various theoretical models is performed.
