Study of Multipion Production in High Energy π- p Interactions at NAL
- University of Notre Dame, IN (United States)
We propose to study the inclusive reactions π- + p → + anything in the 30-in. hydrogen bubble chamber at 50, 150, and 300 GeV/c. The majority of the data will be taken at 150 GeV/c to optimize the physics obtainable in the "bare" configuration of the 30-in. chamber. The data at 50 and 300 GeV/c will serve to test scaling behavior and to relate our results to those obtained at lower-energy accelerators. We will measure distributions of the scaling variable x and the transverse momentum Q as functions of each other and of the charge-multiplicity n. These and related distributions will be compared with the predictions of multiperipheral, limiting fragmentation, parton, quark, thermodynamic and other models for hadron interactions at high energies. This experiment will extend Notre Dame measurements at "conventional" accelerator energies (8 and 18 GeV/c) to energies where asymptotic approximations may be valid and some discrimination among the models should be possible. From our own experience it is clear that the 30-in. chamber in its "bare" configuration can yield significant results within 10 weeks from data acquisition.
