Re: Au Au collision and spectator fragment

Dear Denis
I want just to add a few things to DeWitt's answer.
a) I confirm that FLUKA+DPMJET simulation includes the treatment of
all fragments.
b) FLUKA+DPMJET performs the simulation in the lab frame.
If you need to consider the Au-Au collision in the c.m. frame
then you must consider something else.
c) I confirm the DeWitt's answer on predefined estimators.
The point is that if by chance you need to analize what happens in
single Au-Au collisions, this will not be exactly possible.
Using FLUKA+DPMJET you can simulate a beam of Au colliding into a
Au target. In the limit of a very thin target you can get
a good approximantion of single N-N collisions.
