Dear Sourav,
Some time is needed perform full checks and understand all details, so I
would like to ask you for a few days of patience before a real answer can
be given. A first guess could be that the behaviour is due to binding
energy losses amplified by the Lorentz boost.
One sure point is that energy and momentum are conserved within rounding
errors in every interaction.
May I ask you a couple of details to better understand your plot?
What do you give exactly as initial energy? Is sqrt(s)=200 GeV, or is two
times p=100GeV/c? This question comes because in your plot the average
momentum at target mass is larger than 100 GeV/c.
Did you enable the evaporation of heavy fragments (physics 3 evaporat)?
Is your plot built with momenta as given at the exit from dpmjet, or after
evaporation?
Thank you
Paola
