Charged-particle pseudorapidity distributions in Au+Al, Cu, Au, and U collisions at 10.8A GeV/c.

We present the results of an analysis of charged particle pseudorapidity distributions in the central region in collisions of a Au projectile with Al, Cu, Au, and U targets at an incident momentum of 10.8 GeV/{ital c} per nucleon. The pseudorapidity distributions are presented as a function of transverse energy produced in the target or central pseudorapidity regions. The correlation between charged multiplicity and transverse energy measured in the central region, as well as the target and projectile regions, is also presented. We give results for transverse energy per charged particle as a function of pseudorapidity and centrality.
