ABSTRACT
An optical model description of momentum transfer in relativistic heavy ion collisions, based upon composite particle multiple-scattering theory, is presented. The imaginary component of the complex momentum transfer, which comes from the absorptive part of the optical potential, is shown to be the main contributor to the momentum loss of the projectile. Within the context of the Goldhaber formalism, predictions of fragment momentum distribution observables are made and compared with experimental data. Use of the model as a tool for estimating collision impact parameters is also discussed.
