The multiplicities of charged secondaries in proton-proton collisions were determined using the split-field-magnet detector at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR). Measurements are presented on multiplicity distributions both for inelastic and non-single-diffractive events at four different energies s=30.4, 44.5, 52.6, and 62.2 GeV. The results reported here represent the first high-statistics measurement of charged multiplicity distributions at ISR energies with a magnetic detector covering nearly the full solid angle.
INELASTIC EVENTS.
NON-SINGLE-DIFFRACTIVE EVENTS.
Moments of the multiplicity distributions for Inelastic events.
Ratios of inclusive cross sections σ(π+)/σ(π++K++p) and\(\sigma (\pi ^ -)/\sigma (\pi ^ -+ K^ -+ \bar p)\) were measured for proton-proton interactions with a highpT hadron in the final state around c.m.s. scattering angles θ≅20°, 20° and 45° at two ISR energies\(\sqrt s= 31\) Gev and 62 GeV. Results are shown as functions of transverse and longitudinal momentum and are compared with parton model predictions. The different dependences of positive and negative pion fractions atpT≅2–3 GeV/c on longitudinal momenta is similar to that observed in soft hadronic interactions at low values ofpT where the leading proton effect (diquark fragmentation) is known to contribute. The quantitative agreement of the data with diquark model predictions indicates the presence of diquark fragmentation also in highpT jets.
