Target mass dependence of charged particle multiplicity inp-nucleus interactions

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The shower particle multiplicity (〈n s 〉) in thep-nucleus interactions for different targets, in the incident energy range of ∼6–500 GeV has been studied. The variation of multiplicity parameters with target mass (A) or with number of interactions that the incident hadron suffers inside the nucleus (v A ) and with the changed particle multiplicity inp-p interactions (〈n ch〉) has been examined in the light of the various models of multiparticle production. The present analysis favours the hydrodynamical model though some other models can not be conclusively ruled out.
