Abstract

Net proton and negative hadron spectra for central $\mathrm{Pb}+\mathrm{Pb}$ collisions at 158 GeV per nucleon at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron were measured and compared to spectra from lighter systems. Net baryon distributions were derived from those of net protons. Stopping (rapidity shift with respect to the beam) and mean transverse momentum $〈{p}_{T}〉$ of net baryons increase with system size. The rapidity density of negative hadrons scales with the number of participant nucleons for nuclear collisions, whereas their $〈{p}_{T}〉$ is independent of system size. The $〈{p}_{T}〉$ dependence upon particle mass and system size is consistent with larger transverse flow velocity at midrapidity for $\mathrm{Pb}+\mathrm{Pb}$ compared to $\mathrm{S}+\mathrm{S}$ central collisions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
