Chou, T T

The results of a study on high energy collisions using the geometrical model are summarized. A concept of partition temperature is introduced in the geometrical model of multi-particle production processes at high energies. A hadron-hadron collision at a given incoming energy is described as an incoherent superposition of collisions with different partition temperatures. A simple compact formula for single particle momentum spectrum is obtained. The calculated angular distributions are in excellent agreement with experiments at the CERN Collider. Extrapolations to higher and lower energies are made. The same ideas for inelastic hadron-hadron collisions are also applied to e/sup +/e/sup -/ collisions. A number of predictions are made, including the prediction that KNO scaling is not observed in e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilation. A unified physical picture for hadron-hadron and e/sup +/e/sup -/ collisions is obtained.
