Prospects for Open Heavy Flavor Measurements in Heavy Ion and Collisions in a Fixed-Target Experiment at the LHC

Table 1

Average number of participants and binary collisions in collisions at  GeV for centrality classes defined as percentiles of the hadronic cross section. The mean values and the RMS are obtained with a Glauber Monte Carlo calculation.
