Single-particle spectra associated with high-multiplicity events in 800-MeV/nucleon Ar on KCl and Pb

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
High-multiplicity events were selected in collisions of 800-MeV/nucleon Ar on KCl and Pb. In these events, projectile fragments are highly suppressed, and the angular distributions of high-energy protons are almost isotropic in a moving frame whose rapidity is y/sub 0/(y/sub 0/approx. =0.60 for KCl and 0.43 for Pb targets). Comparisons with inclusive proton data are used to estimate the the relative importance of single and multiple NN collisions. Pion spectra in high-multiplicity events are also presented.
