On the production of heavy mesons in the nucleon-nucleon collisions at energies near the threshold

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

Calculations based on the statistical theory are made for the production of pions and heavy mesons in nucleon-nucleon collision energies below 10 GeV in the laboratory system. Multiplicities are derived as functions of energy, and the energy spectra for the various kinds of particles are given. Average multiplicities as a function of the energy spectrum of the protonic component in cosmic radiation are also given.

Riassunto

Si eseguiscono calcoli, mediante la teoria statistica, sulla produzione di pioni e mesoni K nelle collisioni di nucleoni ad energie inferiori a 10 GeV nel sistema del laboratorio. Si deducono le molteplicità in funzione dell’energia e gli spettri di energia per i vari tipi di particelle. Sono pure date le molteplicità medie in funzione dellospettro di energia della componente protonica nella radiazione cosmica.
