Comparison of the Total Charged-Particle Multiplicity in High-Energy Heavy Ion Collisions with e+e- and pp/pbar-p Data

B. B. Back, PHOBOS Collaboration

The PHOBOS experiment at RHIC has measured the total multiplicity of primary charged particles as a function of collision centrality in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 19.6, 130 a…
