Charged particle production in the Pb+Pb system at 158 GeV/c per nucleon
Charged particle multiplicities from high multiplicity central interactions
of 158 GeV/nucleon Pb ions with Pb target nuclei have been measured in the
central and far forward projectile spectator regions using emulsion chambers.
Multiplicities are significantly lower than predicted by Monte Carlo
simulations. We examine the shape of the pseudorapidity distribution and its
dependence on centrality in detail.Comment: 17 pages text plus 12 figures in postscript 12/23/99 -- Add TeX
