description

The one step excitation of two particle holes in heavy ion collisions is shown to be an important channel in the reaction. Pion production has to compete against this new channel, not present in the NN free reaction, and is reduced sensibly. The effective NN cross section is increased leading to a more effective stopping of the nucleons.
