Leading pions in pi /sup -/p interactions at 11 GeV

Abstract

Characteristics of the leading and all other pions are studied in pi /sup -/p interactions in the CERN two-metre hydrogen bubble chamber at 11-GeV energy. It is shown that the curved part of the integral momentum spectrum shifts to lower momenta when the multiplicity increases. The average angle at which the leading pions are emitted weakly depends on the multiplicity. It is found experimentally that the quantities (p/sub perpendicular to /) and ( epsilon ) for the leading and all other particles depend upon the number of generated pions
