A CLOUD CHAMBER STUDY OF HIGH ENERGY NUCLEAR INTERACTIONS OF COSMIC RAY PARTICLES. II. RESULTS OF SINGLE NUCLEON-NUCLEON INTERACTIONS
Thirty possible nucleon-nucleon interactions of primary energies around 100 Bev observed in a magnet cloud chamber were analyzed in their center of mass systems. The angular distribution of secondary particles was nearly isotropic. The average values of energy and momentum for the products were 350 Mev and 220 Mev/c, respectively, the rms deviations about mean values being 225 Mev and 160 Mev/c. The energy spectrum could be represented as E*-/sup 2/dE*. The inelasticity of interactions had a tendency to decrease with increasing primary energies. The average inelasticity in the center of mass system was 0.27 plus or minus 0.05. All interactions had almost an equal number of shower particles in the forward and backward directions in the center of mass system. (auth)
