Abstract

Slow nucleons emitted during a hadron-nucleus interaction can give information on the centrality, impact parameter of the collision. The aim of this note is to provide the reader with the important characteristics of the slow nucleons, focusing on their spectra, correlations. This study tries to build on evidences, hence more weight is put on experimental results than on models.
