Evidence for clusters of growing mass

Подтверждение для кластеров с растушей массой

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

Several pieces of experimental information are combined with the dynamics of a sequential-decay model with cluster formation for multiparticle production to show that the present high-energy data can be understood in terms of the production of few clusters of inereasing mass. Asymptotic properties of multiplicity distributions of cluster production and decay are discussed.

Riassunto

Aleune informazioni sperimentali unite alla dinamica di un modello di decadimento sequenziale con formazione di ammassi per produzione multipla mostrano che gli attuali dati alle alte energie possono essere interpretati in termini di produzione di pochi ammassi di massa crescente. Si diseutono alcune proprietà asintotiche delle distribuzioni di molteplicità per la produzione ed il decadimento degli ammassi.

Реэюме

Экспериментальная информация общединяется с динамикой модели последовательных распадов с обраэованием кластеров для многочастичного рождения, чтобы покаэать, что имеюшиеся данные при высоких знергиях нельэя понять в терминах рождения нескольких кластеров с уменьщаюшейся массой. Обсуждаются асимптотические свойства распределений множественности для рождения и распада кластеров.
