Dear Steve & Others: I don't believe the present figure 5 (analytically) says the width increases. It certainly suggests it. The (alternative) previous figure 5 which was plotted with y-axis dN(ch)/deta(1/Nch) against N(ch) does show it quantitatively. It also looks very much like the present fig 5. The reason the old figure shows it is that at a given Nch on the x-axis the sum of dNch/deta(1/Nch) must add up literally to 1. Not so, I believe, in the new figure 5. Additionally, it appears, Kharzeev and Levin gives the opposite of AMPT with AMPT the right(our)way.

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.
