We study the multiplicity distribution of charged particles produced in 28-GeV/c pd interactions in the BNL 80-inch deuterium bubble chamber. We find that (18.3 ± 2.9)% of the three- and more-prong pd events result from double scattering in deuterium, a fraction observed to be constant from 28-to-400-GeV/c incident momentum. We extract pn topological cross sections from the odd-prong pd data by correcting for the effects of spectator visibility, double scattering, and Glauber screening. We find the dispersion of 28-to-400-GeV/c pd multiplicity distributions to have the same linear dependence on the mean multiplicity as found for pp data, while the pn data exhibit a different dependence. Both the pd and pn multiplicity distributions at 28 GeV/c are observed to be inconsistent with Koba-Nielsen-Olesen scaling.

K+ p Interactions at 100-GeV Using a Hybrid Bubble Chamber-Spark Chamber System and a Tagged Beam

We studied K+p interactions at 100 GeV with the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory 30-in. hydrogen bubble chamber and associated spark-chamber system. We find σtot(K+p)=18.7±1.8 mb and σel(K+p)=2.0±0.4 mb. We present the charged-multiplicity distribution and its moments, and the charge-transfer distribution. The average inelastic charged multiplicity is 〈nc〉=6.65±0.31 and the two-charged-particle correlation functions are f2cc=4.52±1.32 and f2−−=0.47±0.35.
