Abstract

The main objectives of this experiment are to study the multiple-pion production, especially fire ball-like behavior at the known muon energy, and to compare with the cosmic ray data by means of cloud chambers containing lead plates and with emulsion stack data in the lower energy region (5GeV/c). The cloud chamber data by cosmic ray muons has been investigated by means of the One Fire Ball Model (the mesons are emitted from excited centers) in the energy range of 10 to 100 GeV, while the emulsion data at 5 GeV/c have indicated dominant contributions from isobars (the excited baryon of 1238 MeV). In the cosmic ray data we can not discuss more details of 'the fire ball', such as its mass or temperature, because those incident muon energies can not be estimated directly.

A Proposal of the Photoemulsion Experiment at the National Accelerator Laboratory (Batavia)

Technical Report Dobrotin, N. A. ; Zhdanov, G. B. ; Tretyakova, M. I.

The experiments using a cloud chamber in a magnetic field and an ionizing calorimeter exposed io cosmic rays have been performed at the Lebedev Physical Institute I 1-3 I. They have shown that the hadron interactions with a LiH target at the energies of 200-700 Gev can be explained on the basis of the fireball model, supposing one fireball formation in a peripherical process, for about 50 per cent of events. The experiments carried out at the accelerator beams using the photoemulsion method at CERN (Eo = 2l-24 Gev) I 4 I and at Serpukhov (Eo = 60 Gev) Imore »« less

Analysis of deep underground multiple muons and the cosmic ray composition above 10 TeV/nucleus

Miscellaneous Levin, D S

The initial data run of the Monopole Astrophysics Cosmic Ray Observatory (MACRO) muon tracking detector occurred in the Spring of 1989. The first detector supermodule, geometrical acceptance approximately 8000 sq m, has yielded about 2.2 x 10(exp 5) single and 10(exp 4) multiple muon events representing interactions of energetic primary nuclei at the top of the atmosphere. This data set is analyzed in the context of semi-extrapolated accelerator physics charged meson production in which the elemental composition and energy dependence of the incident cosmic beam are regarded as unknown within specified constraints. The depth-intensity relation, sec(theta) enhancement and muon bundlemore »« less
Multiplicity of Charged Particles in Pion - Nucleus Interactions in an Emulsion at 200-GeV/c

Journal Article Anzon, Z V ; Gaitinov, A Sh ; Eremenko, L E ; ...

The experimental data on multiplicities of charged secondaries produced in pion-nucleus interactions in an emulsion at 200 Gev/c and correlations bet6ween them are presented and discussed. Parameters of multiplicity distributions are compared with the relevant ones at lower energies and with data from pA-interactions at 200 Gev/c. The multiplicity of heavily ionizing particles in {Pi}{sup -}A-interactions weakly depend on the incident energy. The KNO scaling is observed being the same for incident protons and pions.

INELASTIC $pi$$sup -$-NUCLEON INTERACTIONS AT 7 Gev WITH SMALL MULTIPLICITIES

Journal Article Grote, C ; Klabuhn, J ; Klugow, J ; ... - Nuclear Phys.

BS>Interactions initiated by 7-Bev pi /sup -/ mesons are studied by emulsion and bubble chamber techniques. With appropriate criteria, 215 inelastic pion-nucleon interactions are selected in the emulsion and 178 in the propane bubble chamber. For events with small multiplicity it is found that for one- prong events, and for two-prong events with a secondary proton, most of the emitted pions have momenta in the cms greater than 0.6 Bev/c. Furthermore their angular distributions in the cms are strongly peaked in the forward direction. Assuming that only one pion is produced in the collisions it is found that only amore »« less

Dimuon production by pions and protons in iron and a search for the production in hydrogen of new particles which decay into muons. [Cross sections, upper limits, 200 and 240 GeV]

Conference Blanar, G J ; Boyer, C F ; Faissler, W L - AIP (Am. Inst. Phys.) Conf. Proc.; (United States)

Dimuon production cross sections were measured with a 200 GeV ..pi../sup -/ beam and a 240 GeV proton (p) beam. The dimuon mass spectra produced by ..pi.. and p have essentially the same shape. The dimuon transverse momentum behavior is essentially the same for vector mesons produced by ..pi.. or by p. For (rho + ..omega..) or psi production the x (Feynman) behavior is approximately independent of the mass of the dimuon produced. The dimuon ..pi.. production cross section is approximately 6 times greater than that of the p for x greater than .5. Using a missing mass (M/sub m/)more »« less
