Abstract
We have studied 70 GeV/cK + d interactions from about 10 K events. The inelastic cross-section for three or more prongs is found to be (28.9±0.4) mb. From odd-and even-prong topologies we have extracted topological break-up ofK + n interactions by taking into account spectator corrections, rescattering effects and Glauber screening. The rescattering fraction is found to be 0.06±0.01 which is substantially different from pion and proton interactions. Combining ourK + n data with other existing π± n andp ±n we find〈n ch 〉ph−〈n ch 〉hn=0.33±0.04 andD/〈n ch 〉=0.529±0.003.

The following points may be noted: (i) We have not given in Table 3 theK + p cross-sections as derived fromK + d data, because the even-prong sample contains the rescattering effect which increases with increasing topology, even though the second scattering on the spectator nucleon seems to be independent of the multiplicity of the first scattering. (ii) It is seen from the table that σ n (K + d)<σ n (K + n)+σ n (K + p) forn≧10; this is because of the rescattering effect inK + d
