We present measurements from Brookhaven Experiment 864 of neutron invariant multiplicity in 11.5 A GeV/c Au+Pb collisions. The measurements span a rapidity range from center-of-mass to beam rapidity (y(beam)=3.2) and are presented as a function of event centrality. The results are compared with E864 measurements of proton invariant multiplicity and an average n/p ratio at hadronic freeze-out of 1.19+-.08 is determined for the rapidity range y=1.6 to y=2.4. We discuss briefly the implications of this ratio within a simple equilibrium model of the collision system.

Multiplicities of neutrons and light charged particles associated with central collisions have been measured in the energy range 27–77 MeV/u for the systems 40 Ar+ 197 Au, 232 Th. The experiments demonstrate the occurrence of a saturation of the thermal energy deposited in the system around 650 MeV, corresponding to a constant internal temperature close to 5 MeV.
