Charged pions and light nuclei (p, d, t, He3, and He4) have been measured in the interaction of proton beams with C, Nb, and Pb targets at 0.8 and 1.6 GeV incident energies, using a large solid angle detector. From slices on the multiplicity of protonlike particles (free protons and protons bound in light fragments), the events have been sorted out into two classes corresponding to more peripheral and more central collisions. For each class of events, the mean value and the dispersion of the π+ and π− multiplicity distributions have been studied as a function of target mass and incident energy. Comparisons to the Liege intranuclear cascade predictions exhibit some discrepancies which are discussed.

We report on the interactions of an incident 200 GeV / c beam composed of 33% protons, 16% kaons, and 48% pions on targets of silver and gold mounted in the Fermilab 30″ bubble chamber. Within our limited statistics, we find the total cross sections and average multiplicities to agree with previously published data. We find the KNO scaling distribution curve to be broader for heavy nuclei than for hydrogen. We present the first data for V 0 production on gold and silver. We also present, for the first time, evidence for a positive charge excess among the sample of relativistic tracks from interactions on gold and silver. We observe a trend where the positive charge excess increases with target atomic number and with increasing charged particle multiplicity. We find the charge excess to exist among the sample of particles having greater than 2 GeV / c momentum and to persist in the sample with momentum greater than 4 GeV / c .

Multiplicity of Secondary Particles in Inelastic Proton - Neon Interactions at 300-{GeV}/$c$

Azimov, S.A. ; Inogamov, Sh.V. ; Kosonovsky, E.A. ; et al.

The data on the total inelastic and partial cross sections in pNe interactions at 300 GeV are presented. It is found that the total cross section, σin(pNe)=356±13 mb, and multiplicity distributions of the number of negative and relativistic charged particles are in good agreement with predictions of a multiple-scattering model based on Glauber's approach. The multiplicity of negative particles obeys the Koba-Nielsen-Olesen (KNO) scaling, but it is observed that the KNO function depends on the atomic mass number of the target. From an analysis of the average multiplicities of secondary particles, it is shown that approximately 10 percent of the fast (p≳1.2 GeV) positive secondaries are protons, which are derived from the nucleons in the neon nucleus.
