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

Table 2

Average number of participants and binary collisions in Pb-Pb 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.
