Charged-particle ratios and large-transverse-momentum dependent quark statistics

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
The concept of ''leading quarks'' is developed and incorporated into the quark statistics. This gives the quark statistical model large-p/sub T/-dependent characteristics and is able to explain the variation of the ratios of charged particles emitted over a wide range of large p/sub T/ during violent collisions. This feature is clearly manifested when the data obtained by the Chicago-Princeton Collaboration for ..pi../sup -/p, pp, and p''n'' collisions at 300 and 400 GeV in the p/sub T/ range of 0.77 to 6.91 GeV/c are analyzed.
