Description

We will discuss the effect of including shadowing due to leading nucleons on those
located in the interior in the standard two-component Glauber model of nucleus-nucleus
collisions. It will be shown that there is a much better agreement between model and data
for various observables after including shadowing effects. We will also discuss on a new
way for event shape engineering through bins of spectators and net charge.
