Inelastic proton-proton scattering at 5.10 GeV

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

Inelastic proton-proton collisions were examined at a bombarding energy of 5.10 GeV using nuclear emulsions. Cross-sections and reaction parameters were obtained and compared with the results of experiments at other energies. The scattering data were analysed in terms ofa) the invariant mass andb) the effective target mass approach. Phase predictions, based upon approximate solutions of the phase-space integrals and a computer method for obtaining estimates of background, were employed to study the invariant-mass distributions. The adequacy of the effective target mass approach was examined.

Riassunto

Si sono esaminate con emulsioni nucleari le collisioni protone-protone anelastiche ad un’energia di bombardamento di 5.10 GeV. Si sono ottenute le sezioni d’urto ed i parametri di reazione e si sono confrontati con i risultati di esperimenti ad altre energie. Si sono analizzati i dati di scattering in basea) alla approssimazione della massa invariabile eb) all’approssimazione della massa del bersaglio effettiva. Per studiare le distribuzioni della massa invariabile si sono usate le predizioni dello spazio delle fasi, basate su soluzioni approssimate degli integrali dello spazio delle fasi e un metodo con calcolatrici per ottenere stime del fondo. Si è esaminata l’adeguatezza dell’approssimazione della massa del bersaglio effettiva.
