Measurement of negative particle multiplicity in S - Pb collisions at 200-GeV/c per nucleon with the NA36 TPC

A high statistics study of the negative particle multiplicity distribution from S–Pb collisions at 200 GeV/ c per nucleon is presented. The NA36 TPC was used to detect charged particles; corrections are based upon the maximum entropy method.

Note:

17 pages, 8 figures. Figs 6-7 and section on entropy improved. Refs added. Fig. 7 caption corrected
