[Brahms-l] Landau

Dear all,

Welcome to the club, Radek….

I still think that the enthusiasm for the Landau picture is much overrated
(It may fit , but what does it mean?),  unless… the particle producing
source that is supposed to be at rest is not composed of hadrons but of …g… 

Cheers

Dear Michael, Ramiro and other BRAHMSians!

Sorry for late answer but I was sitting in IR trying to make order
among immense number of DC cables;).
I also shared the same idea as Ramiro.
I am not as good a theoretician as you are, in fact I am close to not
being one at all, but that was the picture that was quite consistent to me.
The smaller rapidity loss than expected tells me that the original nuclei
were not stopped as expected from a linear extrapolation of lower energy
data, 
and thus that the collision is somewhat transparent (as in Bjorken
approach).
On the other hand the pion rapidity density distribution is good described
in the Landau picture. 
Thank you for comments, and Ramiro for quick defense.
I will be happy to get even more comments.

Yours, radek

What I remember is that for Landau (low energy) the two projectiles
stop. The system they form expands from a source at y=0 and the mass
term in the expansion (width of rapidity distribution?) is the mass of
protons!!  I remember Chelis  made that remark long time ago. This 
could be a deep semantic can of worms.
