Abstract:

We outline a method to estimate the centrality of a Au+Au collision at BRAHMS using the scintillating plastic tiles of the multiplicity array. It is shown, that to obtain a centrality cut in the most bias-free way, one must take into account the wide spread of the primary collision vertex, as observed during the summer 2000 run and explained elsewhere.
