Cascade Showers Originated in Proton-Nucleus Collisions
Cascade showers originated in nuclear showers occurred by the proton beam with the highest energy in an emulsion chamber will be investigated for their longitudinal development and lateral structure. The results will be compared with that of 400 GeV proton (No.434) and that of 300 GeV negative pions (No.506). The cascade showers originated in nuclear shower have been studying by using data of the emulsion chamber exposed to 400 GeV proton beam (No.434) and 300 GeV negative pion beam (No.506). The purpose of these experiment was to observe the longitudinal development and the lateral structure of the nuclear cascade shower, and the difference of their interactions. We propose to perform the same kind of experiment as the above by exposing emulsion chambers to the proton beam of Tevatron (800 GeV). We can investigate the difference of interactions due to their energies through the evidence of these nuclear cascade showers. Especially, these inelasticity distributions to photons in previous energies could not be presented with good accuracy for the bias of low energy side, but this point in the experiment will become better by using data from the proton beam of Tevatron.
