Diffractive Contribution to the Elasticity and the Nucleonic Flux in the Atmosphere
We calculate the average elasticity considering non-diffractive and single
diffractive interactions and perform an analysis of the cosmic-ray flux by
means of an analytical solution for the nucleonic diffusion equation. We show
that the diffractive contribution is important for the adequate description of
the nucleonic and hadronic fluxes in the atmosphere.Comment: 10 pages, latex, 2 figures (uuencoded PostScript
Scaling laws for density correlations and fluctuations in multiparticle dynamics
Experimental data are presented on particle correlations and fluctuations in
various high-energy multiparticle collisions, with special emphasis on evidence
for scaling-law evolution in small phase-space domains. The notions of
intermittency and fractality as related to the above findings are described.
Phenomenological and theoretical work on the subject is reviewed.Comment: 139 pages, LATEX, 67 figures (hard copies on request from
