Production of photons and search for Centauro events at the SPS collider

The pseudorapidity distribution of photons produced in pp̄ interactions at s=540GeV has been measured and compared with that of charged particles. The correlation between photon and charged-particle production has been studied. A search amongst high multiplicity events for any having the properties of the Centauro events reported in cosmic-ray experiments has revealed no candidates in a sample of 3600 inelastic events. © 1982.0SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
