We have made the first observations of Ξ − production in p p interactions at √ s =540 GeV. In a sample of 6964 non single-diffractive events we observe 17 Ξ − decays with an estimated background of less than one event. This corresponds to 0.04 ± 0.01 Ξ − per event in the transverse momentum range p t >1.0 GeV/ c and in the pseudorapidity range |η| < 3.5. Assuming an exponential p t distribution, we find 〈 p t 〉=1.1 −0.2 +0.3 GeV/ c .

Scaling Violation Favoring High Multiplicity Events at 540-GeV CMS Energy

New data are presented on the charged multiplicity distribution for non single-diffractive events produced in pp̄ interactions at a CM energy s = 540 GeV . The distribution in the full pseudorapidity range is compared with data from the ISR. Using the scaling variable z = n 〈n〉 a change of shape is observed. The effect is manifested as an increase from 2% to 6% in the proportion of high multiplicity ( z > 2) events. For the central pseudorapidity range, | η | ⪅ 1.5, scaling is approximately valid up to s = 540 GeV .

THE SCALING VARIABLE Z IS N/MEAN(N). THE ERRORS ARE HIGHLY CORRELATED AND ARE BASED ON THE SQUARE ROOT OF THE NUMBER OF EVENTS IN THE BIN. IN THE CASE OF MULTIPLICITIES 2,4, AND 6, ADDITIONAL SYSTEMATIC ERRORS HAVE BEEN INCLUDED. ABOVE MULTIPLICITY 96 BINS HAVE BEEN COMBINED - THE VALUE IN THE TABLE IS THE AVERAGE OVER THE RANGE - NOT THE SUM. NOTE ALSO THAT IN FIG. 1 THE "Y-VALUE" IS MULTIPLIED BY THE MEAN MULTIPLICITY (29.1).

CHARGED MULTIPLICITY (NON-CORRECTED) FOR EVENTS WHICH HAVE AT LEAST ONE TRACK WITH ABS(ETARAP) <1.5.

CHARGED MULTIPLICITY (NON CORRECTED) FOR EVENTS WHICH HAVE AT LEAST ONE TRACK WITH ABS(ETARAP) <1.3.

Results are presented from the first p p colliding beam runs at the CERN ISR, using the UA5 streamer chamber detector. p p interactions at s = 53 GeV are compared with pp data taken in the same experiment. The results are in good agreement with extrapolations of low-energy p p data.
