Comparison of Experimental Data to the Relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics Model For Si+Au Collisions at 14.6 A GeV/c

Abstract

Predictions from the RQMD model are systematically compared to recently published charged hadron distributions of AGS Experiment 802 for central Si+Au collisions at 14.6$A$ GeV/$c$, taking into account both the experimental trigger condition and acceptance. The main features of the data, including K${}^{+}$ production, can be understood quantitatively to better than 20\% within the framework of the model, although several discrepancies are found, most importantly for the proton spectra.
