Abstract:

Transverse energy (

E_T

) distributions have been measured for Au+Au collisions at

\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 200

GeV by the STAR collaboration at RHIC.

E_T

is constructed from its hadronic and electromagnetic components, which have been measured separately.

E_T

production for the most central collisions is well described by several theoretical models whose common feature is large energy density achieved early in the fireball evolution. The magnitude and centrality dependence of

E_T

per charged particle agrees well with measurements at lower collision energy, indicating that the growth in

E_T

for larger collision energy results from the growth in particle production. The electromagnetic fraction of the total

E_T

is consistent with a final state dominated by mesons and independent of centrality.
