If you like low P/sub T/ multiparticle physics, you'll love nucleus-nucleus interactions or Do E/sub T/ distributions obey KNO scaling in high energy pp and nucleus-nucleus collisions
Measurements of neutral transverse energy spectra in p-p, d-d and ..cap alpha..-..cap alpha.. interactions at the CERN ISR are presented. The source of transverse energy is the emission of relatively low P/sub T/ particles distributed uniformly. Analysis of the ..cap alpha cap alpha.. data in terms of multiple nucleon-nucleon collisions is most convenient when Gamma distributions are used to represent the spectral shapes. This distribution bears a strong relationship to the Negative Binomial Distribution which describes multiplicity distributions in pp and p anti p interactions over the full available energy range. Extensive analysis of the data is presented in terms of Nuclear Models. However, the best fit to the pp and ..cap alpha cap alpha.. data is a single Gamma distribution scaled by the mean value. This property is also known as KNO scaling. 15 refs., 2 figs.
