Abstract
A universal model is proposed for describing elementary-particle interactions. Although it was originally intended for very high interaction energies, at the qualitative level, its predictions are close to experiment at low energies. Extensive checks have been made on the predictions from the quark-gluon string model on the basis of measurements from p + C interaction at a momentum of 4.2 GeV/sec. The characteristics of protons and of positive and negative pions are compared on the basis of the particle multiplicities, the momentum and angular distributions, the rapidities, and the effective masses. The comparison performance is evaluated from two quantitative criteria.
