Abstract

We use a Glauber multiple-collision model to examine the dynamics of nucleus-nucleus collisions. The model introduces a stopping law which describes how a baryon loses energy in a basic baryon-baryon collision and a particle production law which relates the distribution of produced particles to the baryon momentum loss. The model gives results which compare well with the recent WA80 experimental data of $^{16}\mathrm{O}$ on various targets at 60 and 200 GeV per projectile nucleon and reveals a high degree of stopping in these high-energy nuclear collisions.
