Chou, T T

Results of a study on high energy particle production processes with the geometrical model are summarized. An analysis of the forward-backward charge distribution in anti pp collision leads to the suggestion that the distribution with respect to the charge asymmetry is binomial. With the introduction of the partition-temperature concept, a high energy hadron-hadron collision is described as an incoherent superposition of collisions with different partition temperatures. A concise formula for single particle momentum spectrum is obtained. Angular distributions are calculated and extrapolated to higher and lower energies. The ideas introduced for hadronic collisions are then applied to two-jet e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilation. This leads to a unified physical picture for both hadron-hadron and e/sup +/e/sup -/ collisions and many predictions which can be tested. Further experiments are suggested. 31 refs.
