An estimate of the temperature of protons andπ− mesons in central He−Li, He−C, C−C, C−Ne, C−Cu, C−Pb, O−Pb, Mg−Mg interactions is presented. The results indicate an increase of the proton temperature with increasing mass numbers of projectile and target nuclei (Ap,AT) fromTp=(118±3) MeV for He−Li toTp=(141±2) MeV for C−Pb. The temperature ofπ− mesons does not depend onAP,AT andTπ≃95 MeV. A satisfactory fit forπ− mesons in C−Cu, C−Pb, O−Pb, Mg−Mg collisions can be achieved by using a form involving two temperatures,T1 andT2. The relative yield of the high temperature component (T2) is ≅24% for C−Cu, C−Pb, and Mg−Mg interactions. The observed results forTP in C−Ne, C−Cu and C−Pb collisions are consistent with the prediction of the thermodynamic hagedorn model.
