Abstract：
Using a hadron and string cascade model, JPCIAE, and the corresponding Monte Carlo events generator, the energy and centrality dependences of charged particle pseudorapidity density in relativistic nuclear collisions were studied. Within the framework of this model, both the relativistic pp experimental data and the PHOBOS and PHENIX Au+Au data could be reproduced fairly well without retuning the model parameters. This paper shows that since part> is not a well defined physical variable both experimentally and theoretically, the charged particle pseudorapidity density per participant pair can increase and also can decrease with increasing of part>, so it may be hard to use charged particle pseudorapidity density per participant pair as a function of part> to distinguish various theoretical models for particle production.
