The entropy per participating net baryon is found to increase smoothly and does not exhibit a jump or a plateau as in the 1-dimensional one-fluid shock model. Therefore, the excess of pions per participating net baryon in nucleus-nucleus collisions as compared to proton-proton reactions also increases smoothly with beam energy.1 page, 2 eps-figures, uses gsirep.sty (included); Contribution to the GSI annual scientific report 1997Nuclear Theorytext
