Energy and quantum number flow inK+p and π+p interactions at 32 and 70 GeV/c

Energy, charge and strangeness flow inK⁺p interactions at 32 and 70 GeV/c, and p⁺p interactions at 32 GeV/c are studied in terms of the angular variable ?=|x|/p_T. The data ondQ/d? anddE/d? show only a weak indication of scale breaking between 32 and 70 GeV/c. For inclusive “non-diffractive”, inclusive “diffractive” and exclusive “non-diffractive” jets, the fraction of charge in any angular region ?O away from the central region is found to be proportional to the energy fraction in the same interval. The data ondQ/dE versus ? are compatible with some versions of dual-sheet models and agree also with the LUND Monte-Carlo model. The data are also compared with <img src="/fulltext-image.asp?format=htmlnonpaginated&src=U222823V57J12202_html\10052_2005_Article_BF01577096_TeX2GIFIE1.gif" border="0" alt=" $$v(\bar v)p$$ " /> interactions in BEBC. In exclusive channels the average ratiodQ/dS=0.78±0.04 is consistent, in the framework of fragmentation models, with a larger probability for the fragmentation of the <img src="/fulltext-image.asp?format=htmlnonpaginated&src=U222823V57J12202_html\10052_2005_Article_BF01577096_TeX2GIFIE2.gif" border="0" alt=" $$\bar s$$ " />-valence quark than theu-valence quark in theK⁺-meson.
