Anomalously short mean free path from relativistic heavy-ion collisions with12C at 4.2 A GeV/c

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Summary

An anomalously short mean free path observed recently from relativistic heavy-ion collisions with12C at 4.2 A GeV/c is interpreted to be due to the existence of a new multiquark compound resonance. Several experiments are suggested to verify our interpretation.
