Abstract

ABSTRACT The procedure employed by the WA97 and NA57 experiments to determine the number of wounded nucleons in different Pb + Pb centrality classes is discussed. We will also compare different centrality scales and their influence on the measurement of the centrality dependence of strange particle yields.
