Abstract

Results are presented of a study of opposite-sign dimuon events observed in a fine-grained neutrino detector exposed to the Fermilab Tevatron wide-band neutrino beam. A total of 300 background-corrected ${\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ events induced by incident neutrinos and antineutrinos with energies up to 500 GeV were accumulated. The data were analyzed in terms of a model based on charmquark production followed by semileptonic decay of the charmed meson. The Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix terms were found to be ${|{U}_{\mathrm{cd}}|}^{2}=0.0378\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.0127 {(\mathrm{stat})}_{\ensuremath{-}0.0082}^{+0.0099} (\mathrm{syst})$, and $\ensuremath{\kappa}{|{U}_{\mathrm{cs}}|}^{2}=0.391\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.076 {(\mathrm{stat})}_{\ensuremath{-}0.066}^{+0.097} (\mathrm{syst})$. The ratio of the strange to nonstrange sea in the nucleon, $\ensuremath{\kappa}=\frac{2S}{(\overline{U}+\overline{D})}$, was measured to be 0.407\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.075 ${(\mathrm{stat})}_{\ensuremath{-}0.069}^{+0.103}$ (syst).

Abstract

We have used the Fermilab 30-in. bubble chamber--hybrid spectrometer to study the rapidities of produced particles'' in the interactions of 200-GeV/{ital c} protons and {pi}{sup +} and {ital K}{sup +} mesons with nuclei of gold, silver, and magnesium. The average rapidity decreases linearly with the number of projectile collisions {nu}{sub {ital p}} (up to {nu}{sub {ital p}}=5) with no {ital A} dependence and little beam dependence. The ratio {ital R} of normalized rapidity distributions for hadron-nucleus to hadron-proton interactions shows a plateau in the central region, and becomes much larger in the target region. However, the increase is significantly less than has been reported in previous experiments. As a function of {nu}{sub {ital p}}, the ratio {ital R} rises linearly in the target region, more gently in the central region, and decreases slowly in the projectile region, in all cases with no {ital A} dependence. Some discrepancies with a previous experiment are observed in the central region. Long-range rapidity correlations are observed in hadron-nucleus events, but not in hadron-proton events. For the former, it is shown that the correlations exist only for those events with multiple projectile collisions, as expected in the multichain dual parton model.

Abstract

A time-of-flight technique has been used to search for neutral weakly interacting massive particles in the wideband neutrino beam at the Fermilab Tevatron. Limits at the 90% confidence level are reported herein for (a) heavy neutrino production from the decay of heavy quark states, (b) massive objects directly produced in 800 GeV/c pN interactions that are noninteracting but unstable with a mean lifetime between ${10}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}8}$ and ${10}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}4}$ s, and (c) directly produced massive objects that are stable but weakly interacting with interaction cross sections between ${10}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}29}$ and ${10}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}31}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$.

Abstract

We have studied the reactionspp→ppπ+π-,K+p→K+pπ+π−π, π+p→ π+,pπ+π− and π−p →π+π− at 147 GeV/c using the 30-inch Fermilab hybrid system. All four reactions were detected with the same apparatus and analyzed in the same way. The energy dependence of the channel cross section was found to beAp−0.6+B for thepp reaction andAp−1+B for the other three. About 90% of the cross section at 147 GeV/c can be accounted for by either beam or target diffraction. Some of the remaining cross section may come from double Pomeron exchange reactions which we tried to isolate. We have tested the hypothesis of a factorizable Pomeron and our data indicates a violation of this hypothesis. We show that the 3π mass enhancement in the mass region 1.2–1.4 GeV is diffractively produced in the π± beam reactions. Fourprong, four-constraint and six-prong, four-constraint cross sections are reported.

Abstract

We have studied the inclusive production of K/sup asteriskplus-or-minus/(890) and Y/sup asteriskplus-or-minus/(1385) in pp, ..pi../sup +/p, and K/sup +/p interactions at 147 GeV/c. The experiment used the Fermilab 30-inch hydrogen bubble chamber with the hybrid spectrometer system. Results are based on a sample of 1916 observed K/sub S/ and 932 observed ..lambda... Inclusive cross sections are given for K/sup asteriskplus-or-minus/ and Y/sup asteriskplus-or-minus/ production from the three beams, and comparisons are made with experiments at other energies. Feynman-x and transverse-momentum-squared distributions are also calculated. The results suggest that the K/sup asterisk-/ is entirely produced in the central region, while the K/sup asterisk+/ includes a component from beam fragmentation. Comparisons are made with the additive quark model.

Abstract

We describe the calibration of CRISIS, a charge sensitive drift chamber which makes possible the identification of charged particles with momentum between 5 and 100 GeV/ c . Results indicate an optimum resolution of (7.1 ± 0.2)% fwhm, which is an improvement over the predicted value of 7.8%. We characterize the efficiency for particle identification by the ratio b = (separation between π and p)/( σ π + σ p . We achieve a value of (0.94 ± 0.02), which compares favorably with the theoretical value of 0.87 at 200 GeV. In addition to particle identification, the data from this detector will augment the other components of the Fermilab hybrid spectrometer to reconstruct particle trajectories in real space.

Abstract

We have studied inclusive ${\ensuremath{\rho}}^{0}$ and ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{++}$ production in ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}p$ and ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}p$ interactions at 15 GeV/c in a region where pion exchange has been found to dominate the resonance production. By using ${\ensuremath{\rho}}^{0}$ production, the off-mass-shell interactions of virtual pions with the target protons have been studied and compared with the same on-shell reactions at comparable energy. No significant differences between on-shell and off-shell reactions have been found in topological-cross-section ratios, inclusive longitudinal- or transverse-momentum distributions, or elastic $\frac{d\ensuremath{\sigma}}{\mathrm{dt}}$ distributions. The effect of the negative mass squared of the virtual pions has also been studied. Inclusive ${\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{++}$ production has been found to be dominated by pion exchange for $|t|\ensuremath{\lesssim}0.4$ (${\mathrm{G}\mathrm{e}\mathrm{V}/\mathit{c})}^{2}$. We have studied the interactions of these off-shell pions with the beam pions as a function of energy. The ratio $\frac{{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{\mathrm{el}}}{{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{T}}$ and the average charged-particle multiplicities $〈{n}_{X}〉$ have been examined and compared with those for various hadron-proton reactions. The values of $〈{n}_{X}〉$ have also been studied in terms of a simple model and found to give results consistent with studies at higher energies. We also present longitudinal- and transverse-momentum distributions for produced pions, as well as $\frac{d\ensuremath{\sigma}}{\mathrm{dt}}$ distributions for $\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}$ elastic scattering.

Abstract

The gross features of the data are reviewed and the momentum tensor components, 〈S〉, and 〈T〉 are studied. Evidence for coplanarity effects is observed. A probabilistic method to search for jets is proposed. The jets found by this method are seen to be similar to highp T jets frompp interactionse + e − annihilations andvp interactions. The effect of subtracting the leading particles and the effect of lowp T diffractive and non diffractive components are investigated.

Abstract

We define a kinematical variable ${P}_{v}$ which is correlated to the peripherality of a multibody final state. ${P}_{v}=0$ implies that all the final-state particles lie in a plane perpendicular to the incident direction. ${P}_{v}=1$ implies that all the particles in the final state are collinear with the incident direction. ${P}_{v}$ distributions for resonance production are quite different from those for Lorentz-invariant phase space. This property may be used to detect phase-space-like phenomena at high energies in multibody final states ($n\ensuremath{\ge}10$). We compare ${P}_{v}$ distributions for the four-body annihilation and nonannihilation channels of $\overline{p}p$ interactions and the four-body final states of ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}p$ interactions in which the proton goes into the backward and forward hemispheres. We find remarkable kinematic similarities between annihilation and ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}p$ backward-hemisphere channels. We suggest that this is due to the dominance of baryon exchange. There is also a remarkable, but different, similarity between nonannihilation and the ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}p$ forward-hemisphere channels. We suggest that this is due to the dominance of meson exchange.

Abstract

The Fermilab hybrid 30-in. bubble-chamber spectrometer was exposed to a tagged 147-GeV/c positive beam containing ..pi../sup +/, K/sup +/, and p. A sample of 3003 K/sup +/p, 19 410 pp, and 20 745 ..pi../sup +/p interactions is used to derive sigma/sub n/, , f/sub 2//sup tsc/c, and /D for each beam particle. These values are compared to values obtained at other, mostly lower, beam momenta. The overall dependence of on E/sub a/, the available center-of-mass energy, for these three reactions as well as ..pi../sup -/p and pp interactions has been determined.

Abstract

We consider three broad classes of nonstandard models for b quark decay: (1) b → llq with charged or neutral leptons of arbitrary flavor; (2) b → l q q ; and (3) b → qa − where a − is a Higgs boson or hyperpion. For these classes of models we have calculated the charged energy fraction and the inclusive yields of electrons, muons, protons, and lambdas. We demonstrate that these model predictions are inconsistent with CLEO measurements at the γ (4S).

Abstract

Using the CLEO detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring, the authors have measured the leptonic branching fraction, B/sub mumu/, of the UPSILON(1S), UPSILON(2S), and UPSILON(3S) to be 2.7 +- 0.3 +- 0.3%, 1.9 +- 1.3 +- 0.5%, and 3.3 +- 1.3 +- 0.7%, respectively. Combining these values of B/sub mumu/ with previous measurements of the leptonic widths of these resonances, the authors find the total width of the UPSILON(1S), UPSILON(2S), and UPSILON(3S) to be 48 +- 4 +- 4, 27 +- 17 +- 6, and 13 +- 4 +- 3 keV.

Abstract

In an experiment with the 30-inch Hybrid Spectrometer at Fermilab we have obtained the inclusive and semi-inclusive production cross sections of the ϱ0 meson using a conventional background subtraction technique. Production cross sections for the ϱ0 are derived as a function of the Feynman scaling variablex, and the transverse variablespt2 andEt=(pt2+M2)1/2. The longitudinal distributions are compared with the (1−x) dependence of the proton and meson valence quark structure functions, using various forms of recombination and fragmentation models. The transverse distributions are compared with thermodynamic models. We give density matrix elements for the ϱ0 production from pions in the extreme forward region.

Abstract

The ratio of hadronic π+/π− production has been studied in the target fragmentation region of π+ p, π− p,K + p andp p collisions at 147 GeV/c beam momentum. The difference between this ratio in the π+ p and π− p data is less than at lower energies but still present. No difference exists anymore for the π+/π− ratio at this energy betweenK + p andpp collisions. Exclusion of diffraction dissociation and resonance production does not change the main conclusions. The energy dependence of the ratio for π+ p and π− p collisions gives evidence for a universal asymptotic ratio for all beams. Thep t -dependence at low-p t is in agreement with the expectation from geometrical correlation of the valence quarks.

Abstract

The $p{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ and $p{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ final states from ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}p$ interactions at 3.9 GeV/c have been analyzed by the prism-plot technique and the following three quasi-two-body channels have been studied in detail: ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\rho}}^{+}p$, ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}{\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{++}$, and ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\rho}}^{0}{\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{++}$. Results are presented on cross sections, differential cross sections, and single and joint spin density matrix elements. These are compared with the Dar-Watts-Weisskopf absorption model and Reggeized pion-exchange model predictions. Relations among joint spin density matrix elements for ${\ensuremath{\rho}}^{0}{\ensuremath{\Delta}}^{++}$ are compared with quark-model predictions.

Abstract

A measurement is presented of the inclusive production of charged ${D}^{*}$ and neutral $D$ mesons from nonresonant ${e}^{+}{e}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ annihilation in the energy region near the $\ensuremath{\Upsilon}(4S)$ resonance. The momentum distribution shows a large contribution at high momenta as expected for heavy quark production. Comparison of the spectrum with several phenomenological models is made. The relative yields of the ${D}^{*}$ and $D$ mesons indicate that the charm cross section is dominated by the ${D}^{*}$ contribution.

Abstract

We have done an inclusive study of ϱ0 production in π−p interactions at 15 GeV/c. Evidence for two different production mechanisms, in addition to the known quasi two-body processes, is presented: production of ϱ0's in the central region of rapidity similar to the “pionization” region seen in the inclusive studies of pions; and forward production in the beam dissociation region of rapidity. Cross sections and rapidity distributions for the ϱ0 are given inclusively and by topology, and the results are compared with similar studies at other energies and with other incident particles. Results are also presented for the semi-inclusive reaction π−p → pϱ0 + X− and the exclusive final state pπ−ϱ0.

Abstract

The prototype of a charged particle identifier with 1m x 1m acceptance, has been tested at Fermilab using a pion-proton beam at 40 and 100 GeV/c. Its operation is based on the principle of ionization sampling, and the test results indicate that the prototype achieved the 14% FWHM resolution predicted for the distribution of average ionization for 64 samples taken in an 80% Ar -20% CO2 gas mixture. Dependence of the performance on various parameters is discussed.

Results are reported based on a study of π − p interactions at 147 GeV/ c in the FERMILAB 30-inch Proportional Wire Hybrid Bubble Chamber System. We have measured the topological cross sections and separated two-prong elastic and inelastic channels. In addition, we have extracted leading particle cross sections using the increased momentum resolution of the downstream proportional wire chambers. We have compared our results with experiments and predictions of a simple fragmentation hyphothesis.

Most of this cross section is found in the lower topology events (⩽ 10 prongs), and in the central and forward rapidity regions. The P T 2 dependence of ϱ 0 production, 〈: n > ϱ 0 per event, and the ϱ 0 / π + ratios are also discussed.

Abstract

A prototype hadron calorimeter, of similar design to the Warm Iron Calorimeter (WIC) planned for the SLD experiment, has been built and its performance has been studied in a test beam. The WIC is an iron sampling calorimeter whose active elements are plastic streamer tubes similar to those used for the Mont-Blanc proton decay experiment. The construction and operation of the tubes will be briefly described together with their use in an iron calorimeter - muon tracker. Efficiency, resolution and linearity have been measured in a hadron/muon beam up to 11 GeV. The measured values correspond to the SLD design goals.

Abstract

Results are presented from a study of inclusive neutral strange particle production by a 147 GeV/c tagged π+/K+/p beam in the Fermilab 30-inch hydrogen bubble chamber. The experiment made use of the proportional hybrid spectrometer system. Results are based on 995 KS0, 485 Λ, and 83 Λ found in a sample of 132 000 pictures. Cross sections are given for inclusive production of these particles by each of the three beam particles, and comparisons are made with measurements at other energies. Topological cross sections are also calculated, and KNO multiplicity scaling is investigated. Distributions are presented of invariant cross sections as functions of the Feynman scaling variable x and c.m. rapidity y. The transverse momentum-squared distributions with their fitted slopes are also given. Comparisons are made of the production characteristics for the three beam types.

Abstract

A cross-channel isospin analysis has been carried out on a prism plot separated sample of 3.9 GeV/c π+-p → π(Nπ) events. An enhancement is observed in the low (Nπ) invariant mass region for an I = 12 state of the Nπ system when the isospin for the cross channel is both IE = 0 and 1. These results and those of similar analyses at 8 and 16 GeV/c are compared with the predictions of a double-exchange model and good agreement is obtained. Neither interpretation of this phenomenon as a resonance nor as a consequence of diffraction dissociation in the usual definition, non-resonating single pomeron exchange, explains all the features of the results.

Abstract

The energy dependence of the average of the charged multiplicity and its dispersion in π + /K + /p interaction on protons at 147 GeV/ c is found to be the same as in e + e − annihilations if an “effective energy” variable is used instead of the total energy. The effective energy S eff is defined as the invariant mass of all secondaries left after the two leading particles have been removed. Fitting the expression aS eff b to the average charge multiplicity 〈 n ch 〉, we find the power b to be in good agreement with the value of 0.25 predicted by Fermi's statistical model and by Landau's hydrodynamical model.

Abstract

An analysis is presented of the production of jets in low-ptπ±p,k+p,pp collisions at 147 GeV/c collected at Fermilab in the rapid cycling hydrogen bubble chamber hybrid spectrometer. It is shown that selected events are more planar than predicted by a cylindrical phase space, but that 3-jet and 4-jet like structures seen in the momentum flows are reasonably reproduced by the cylindrical phase space events subjected to the same mathematical manipulation required to build momentum flows.

Abstract

A study of charged particle production in 147 GeV/c π − p collisions yields no evidence for an electrically neutral central region or corresponding rapidity plateau. The results do indicate that electric charge and transverse momentum may be locally conserved over small intervals on the rapidity axis. These results support a picture in which the observed hadrons are emitted in clusters whose quantum numbers vary as a function of rapidity and reflect the incident channel quantum numbers at the extremes of the rapidity scale.

Abstract

Hadronic showers at six incident particle energies from 33.8 to 415.4 GeV have been studied using the low-density fine-grained flash chamber calorimeter of the Lab C neutrino detector at Fermilab. Transverse distributions of unprecedented fine granularity have been obtained for a range of depths in the shower. Longitudinal energy distributions have been compared with those from iron-scintillator detectors. Some differences are observed which may be attributable to the different relative sensitivity of the two detector types to electromagnetic and hadronic shower components. Both longitudinal and transverse distributions have been parametrized. Fluctuations in energy deposition have been studied. The relative size of the fluctuations is largest near the starting vertex and in the tail of the shower, and falls slowly with increasing beam energy. Correlations between energy deposition in neighboring parts of the shower are observed, and anticorrelation is seen between energy deposition in the peak and in the tail of the shower. Containment lengths and widths have also been measured and parametrized.

Abstract

In this paper we present new data for the reactions π−p→pslow+X− and π−p→πfast− + X+ at 147 GeV/c. This is the first time that experimental information on these two processes has been obtained using the same apparatus at Fermilab energies. The triple-Regge formalism is applied to the differential cross sections dσ/dMx2 of both reactions using all the data at present available in the literature. A good description of the data is obtained when parameters from a triple-Regge fit of the reaction pp → p + X are used, together with the assumption of factorization of the pomeron and the reggeons. The equality of the dσ/dMx2 distributions of the two reactions may be explained in terms of an interesting assumption in the framework of the independent quark model and imposes an additional relation between the triple-Regge terms.

Abstract

A drift chamber, which makes possible the identification of charged particles in the momentum range 5–100 GeV/c by taking 192 samples of the ionization which they produce in 1.6 cm of 80% argon–20% CO2, has been constructed and tested. It is 1×1×3 m in the sampling direction and is operated at a pressure slightly above atmospheric. It has been found to be very stable in operation and to give an average resolution for the average charge distribution of 8.13±0.18% (FWHM) in agreement with the predicted value of 8.4%.

Abstract

We present in this paper a study of the ..delta../sup + +/(1232) inclusive production for momentum transfer squared to the target proton, vertical-bartvertical-bar < 1 (GeV/c)/sup 2/. We have investigated the production mechanism of the ..delta../sup + +/ by measuring its density matrix elements as a function of t and of the missing mass squared, M/sub X//sup 2/, and by carrying out a triple-Regge analysis. For vertical-bartvertical-bar < 0.4 (GeV/c)/sup 2/, the ..delta../sup + +/ production mechanism is consistent with one-pion exchange. We have also studied the average charged multiplicity recoiling from the ..delta../sup + +/ as a function of M/sub X//sup 2/, for vertical-bartvertical-bar < 0.4 (GeV/c)/sup 2/. The study yields information about the ..pi../sup -/..pi../sup -/ average charged multiplicity.

Abstract

The isospin | M 1 2 o | 2 amplitude measured by means of π±p interactions at 3.9 GeV/c is compared to the low mass diffraction dissociation distributions in the process p+p→p+X at incident momentum from 175 to 400 GeV/c and p+p→(nπ+)+p at 1500 GeV/c. The comparison is made within the framework of a two-component model which predicts that the properties of the |M 1 2 o | 2 amplitude at 3.9 GeV/c should be describe the p-p process. This predictio n is shown to be in excellent agreement with the high energy data.

Abstract

Diffraction dissociation of both the beam and target particles has been observed in 150-GeV/c ..pi../sup -/p interactions in the Fermilab 30-in.-bubble-chamber--proportional-wire-chamber hybrid spectrometer. The dissociations are observed as recoil systems opposite leading particles, the signals of which are separated from background where appropriate by a variant of the Van Hove sector cut, thus allowing the high-mass portion of the spectrum to be observed. Pion dissociation has a cross section of 1758 +- 105 ..mu..b, divided among two-, four-, and six-prong events; some rho/sup 0/ production is seen and comes primarily from the ..pi../sup -/ ..-->.. 2..pi../sup -/..pi../sup +/ channel. The proton dissociation cross section is 1726 +- 100 ..mu..b, again divided among two-, four-, and six-prong events. The final state contains a neutron more frequently than a proton in the two- and six-prong events, a proton more frequently in the four-prong events. Production of ..delta../sup + +/ is observed in the p ..-->.. p..pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/ dissociations.

Results from a high-statistics experiment involving an exposure of the SLAC 82-in. hydrogen bubble chamber to a beam of 8-GeV/c ..pi../sup -/ yielding a final state of ..pi../sup -/..pi../sup +/..pi../sup -/p are presented. Copious production of rho, ..delta../sup + +/, and f is found. Considerable quasi-two-body production in which one particle decays to one of the above resonances is also observed. Some double-resonance production involving baryon and meson resonances is also seen. The production properties of rho, ..delta../sup + +/, and f mesons are well described by a double-Regge model.

Abstract

A recently proposed method of calculating experimental lower bounds, b L , on the root-mean-squared impact parameter of multiparticle processes has been applied to a variety of reactions in π − p interactions at 15 and 147 GeV/ c . The values obtained for b L show a decrease of the root-mean-squared impact parameter with increasing multiplicity at fixed energy and a very slow increase, if any, of b L with energy at fixed multiplicity. Furthermore, the results might indicate that absorption effects in multiparticle production in π − p interactions are not important. The transverse momentum transfer correlation matrices calculated in this paper have a diagonal form in agreement with multiperipheral type models.

We examine the polarization properties exhibited by ${\ensuremath{\rho}}^{0}'\mathrm{s}$ and ${\ensuremath{\omega}}^{0}'\mathrm{s}$ in the reactions ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}+p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\rho}}^{0}+{X}^{0}$ and ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}+p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\omega}}^{0}+\mathrm{charged}\mathrm{particles}$ at 15 GeV/c. ${\ensuremath{\rho}}^{0}$ production is analyzed in the framework of the triple Regge model. The trajectory coupled to the ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ ${\ensuremath{\rho}}^{0}$ is $\ensuremath{\alpha}(t)=(\ensuremath{-}0.12\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.07)+(0.78\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.21)t$ in good agreement with the $\ensuremath{\pi}$ trajectory. The properties of the system recoiling against the ${\ensuremath{\rho}}^{0}$ (off-shell $``{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}''p$ reaction) are very similar to those of the final states of on-shell ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}p$ reactions at the same center-of-mass energy.

Abstract

Distributions with respect toz andzR for the fastest and second fastest particles produced in both beam and target hemispheres from 147 GeV/c π− interactions are compared with each other and with the distributions for the fastest and second fastest particles from deepinelastic leptoproduction and Field-Feynman curves. The distributions and curves for the fastest particles are very similar, with the exception of the identified protons. Those for the second fastest are in agreement. Distributions with respect toz′R for the first through fourth fastest particles (excepting the protons) are all similar, suggesting that the shape of the distributions may be determined by the available longitudinal phase space.

Abstract

A new method of analysis (leading charge model) based on the zone graph technique is used to separate charged particles produced in the target, projectile and central regions of phase space. A significant fraction of the centrally produced particles follow a Bose momentum distribution with temperature of 131 ± 2 MeV.

Abstract

Our recent paper ∗ described an analysis of the energy deposition in hadronic showers at six incident particle energies from 33.8 to 415.4 GeV using the low-density fine-grained flash chamber calorimeter of the Lab C neutrino detector at Fermilab. More recent work on the subject has led us to revise some of the results presented for energies above 200 GeV. We present here revised results for the longitudinal and transverse energy deposition, and new coefficients for the parametrization of these curves.
