In collisions of 40-GeV/c antiprotons with D, Li, C, S, Cu, and Pb nuclei, mean multiplicities of various secondary particles are investigated as functions of the mass number A. The mass-number dependence of the mean multiplicities of positively charged particles suggests that the effect of intranuclear cascades is strong for the emission of Λ hyperons, but that it is relatively weak for the emission of either K 0 or \(\bar \Lambda \). Also measured are the yields of various neutral strange particles with respect to those of charged secondaries.

Interactions of 40 GeV/c πp-,K− and\(\bar p\) on Li, C, S, Cu, CsI and Pb were studied with the RISK-streamer chamber spectrometer. We present multiplicities of negatively charged particles, as well as of protons, and the correlations between them. The normalized mean multiplicity of negative particles,R−, depends on\(\bar v\), the average number of inelastic collisions as\(R^ -= (0.73 \pm 0.04) + (0.34 \pm 0.02)\bar v\). The dependence of the normalized dispersion of negative particles,D−/<N−>, on the number of protons favours independent collision models and contradicts the coherent tube picture. The excess of fast positive particles behaves asA0.4 and shows, for the heavier nuclei, a clear correlation with identified protons.
