Dear Trine, Chellis, Dieter, and JJ: Isn't this "width" effect already implicit in Fig. 5? How can you have the three curves in this figure spread out as they do and NOT have a decreasing width with centrality? Alternatively, how can one argue that this width effect is of particular note and still claim that our data are consistent with a limiting fragmentation picture. As I see it, the relatively flat behavior at eta=4.5 reflects the limiting fragmentation behavior. The upward slope at eta=0 indicates the Ncol term. These two observations tell me that if I were to renormalize the various curves in Fig. 1 to unity at eta=0, the curves for the more central collisions will have the narrower half-widths.
