Scaled factorial moments, corrected for the shape of the single-particle pseudorapidity distribution, are analyzed in pseudorapidity and in two-dimensional (pseudorapidity and azimuth angle) space. An intermittent, power-law growth of the moments with decreasing bin size is found, with two-dimensional analysis revealing a much stronger effect than for one-dimensional for nucleus-nucleus data. The intermittent patterns are more evident for proton-nucleus than for nucleus-nucleus collisions, with the heaviest nucleus, S32, showing the weakest effect.

This paper presents exhaustive, new data on the shower and compound multiplicity charactersties of 24 Mg-emulsion and 12 C-emulsion interactions at incident momentum of 4.5 GeV/ c per nucleon. A comparative study is made (whenever possible) with p-emulsion interaction data at the same incident momentum per nucleon. The linear dependences of different multplicities on shower and compound multiplicity, e.g., 〈 n i 〉 = a ij + k ij n j -( i ≠ j ), are also shown in this paper.

2550 interactions of 12 C in emulsion at 4.5 A GeV / c have been used to study the properties of projectile fragments. The multiplicity and projected angular distributions of projectile fragments in different target groups have been studied. The production cross section of the reaction in which projectile 12 C breaks up into two Z = 3 fragments is found to be 6.6 × 10 −3 of the total inelastic cross section. The projected angular distributions of fragments exhibit features of limiting fragmentation. Statistically significant azimuthal correlations among fragments in the azimuthal plane indicates that the fragmenting nucleus gets a transverse momentum during the collision.

Inclusive production cross sections of charged pions on carbon, copper and bismuth by neutrons in the energy range of 300–580 MeV have been measured from 54° to 164°. The invariant cross sections can be expressed by Full-size image (<1 K) for the high-energy part of the pion spectra. The slope parameter exhibits a systematic variation with neutron energy and emission angle for the three targets. The dependence of the pion production on the target mass number varies strongly with pion energy and emission angle. The production cross sections are compared with the model of quasi-two-body scaling, the moving-source model and with intranuclear cascade calculations.

We have measured the asymmetry of elastic pp scattering at small scattering angles (30–100 mrad) in the Coulomb-nuclear interference region, using the polarized proton beam of Saturne II, a segmented scintillator active target, and two telescopes of multiwire proportional chambers. Results are given at four energies — 940, 1000, 1320 and 2440 MeV-and are compared with phase-shift calculations.

Correlations between target fragments were measured in α- and 14 N-induced reactions at 70, 250 and 800 MeV/u incident energies. The reaction mechanism is characterized by the linear momentum transfer and the excitation energy which were deduced from the kinematics and the mass distribution of the fission fragments. By selecting targets lighter than Th (Au and Ho) the yield from peripheral collisions is reduced by the increase in the fission barrier thus allowing events with the highest linear momentum transfer and excitation energy to be favoured. The results show that up to an incident energy of 800 MeV/u hot nuclei are formed which decay via normal binary fission. The linear momentum transfer is essentially constant over the covered energy range, but the excitation energy increases until the total incident energy is greater than 3 GeV. At this energy, independent of the projectile mass the fission probability of the heavy nuclei drops below 50%, while the emission of intermediate-mass fragments increases. The relative velocities between two intermediate-mass fragments exceed strongly the values of binary fission. Monte Carlo calculations show that the relative velocities between these fragments exclude a sequential emission from the recoil nucleus and support a simultaneous breakup mechanism.

Calorimeter measurements of dσ de t for pp, dd, pα , and αα collisions at S nn =31.5 GeV are presented for the pseudorapidity interval | η cm | ⩽ 0.7, extending over eight decades to E t ⩾ 30 GeV. The data are compared with models that predict nuclear cross sections directly from pp data, under the assumption of independent nucleon scatters.
The distributions are fitted D(SIG)/D(ET)=CONST*ET**POWER*EXP(-SLOPE*ET).
A new determination of the u valence quark distribution function in the proton is obtained from the analysis of identified charged pions, kaons, protons and antiprotons produced in muon-proton and muon-deuteron scattering. The comparison with results obtained in inclusive deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering provides a further test of the quark-parton model. The u quark fragmentation functions into positive and negative pions, kaons, protons and antiprotons are also measured.

The reaction pp→p f (K + K − K + K − )p s in which the K + K − K + K − system is centrally produced has been studied at 300 GeV/ c . φφ production has been observed and the ratio σ (φK + K − )/ σ ( φφ ) is 1.0±0.3. The cross section for central production of φφ is found to be the same at 300 GeV/ c and 85 GeV/ c . An angular analysis of the φφ system favours J P =2 + over 0 − .
