A review of recent E802 results

1991 
Some recent results are presented from AGS E802, a survey experiment which is studying reactions of 14.6 A {center dot} GeV beams of protons, {sup 16}O and {sup 28}Si on targets ranging from {sup 9}Be to {sup 197}Au. Spectra for the global forward and transverse energy are shown; in nucleus-nucleus collisions these two quantities are anticorrelated, consistent with a large amount of stopping. Slope parameters from inclusive particle spectra are presented, with the most interesting effect being an apparent heating'' of mid-rapidity protons which emerge from the collisions of the largest nuclei. Also given are preliminary data on the production of antiprotons. 8 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
