Summary
Two recent papers report data which purport to cast doubt on the validity of «scaling» in inclusive strong interactions above one TeV. It is observed here that those two papers are in disagreement with each other more than with scaling. However, both sets of data are also shown to be not inconsistent with scaling after the inclusion of the experimental biases.
Riassunto
Due recenti articoli riportano dati che inducono ad avere dubbi sulla validità delle «trasformazioni di scala» nelle interazioni forti inclusive al di sopra di 1 TeV. Qui si osserva che quei due articoli sono in disaccordo più tra loro che con le trasformazioni di scala. Comunque si dimostra anche che questi due gruppi di dati non sono inconsistenti con le trasformazioni di scala dopo aver incluso le influenze sperimentali.
Резюме
В двух недавних работах приводятся данные, которые порождают сомнение в справедливости «подобия» в включающих сильных взаимодействиях выше 1 ТэВ. В нашей работе отмечается, что вышеуказанные две статьи противоречат друг друту не только в вопросе, касающемся подобия. Также показывается, что обе системы данных не противоречат подобию после включения экспериментальных отклонений.
