  21. Event selection The PSD is located most downstream on the beam line and measures the projectile spectator energy E F of the non-interacting nucleons of the beam nucleus. The energy measured by the PSD is used to select events classes corresponding to the collision "violence" ( ≈ centrality). Maciej Lewicki (UWr) Strangeness@N A 61/S HINE Kopaonik, Mar142018 16 / 31
