A guided tour around the ISR, with 6 intersections used for physics now includes the following set-ups: I1 Saclay double-arm spectrometer used in coincidence with the CERN-Columbia-Rockefeller lead-glass detector. I2 British barrel detector used in coincidence with the CERN-Holland-Lancaster-Manchester small-angle spectrometer and the former British-Scandinavian wide-angle spectrometer. 14 Extensive research programme with the split field magnet detector (four different experiments with machine time so far). I6 Analysis of several particles at the same time through a wide acceptance magnet (Aachen-CERN-UCLA) and then more precise measurements of da/dt. I7 Aachen-CERN-Heidelberg-Munich streamer chamber used in coincidence with a wide-angle lead-glass detector. I8 Pisa-Stony Brook 4π detector used in coincidence with a lead-glass detector, the CERN-Rome forward spectrometer, the Scandinavian-MIT wide angle spectrometer, etc.

  15. One may generalize this procedure and try to isolate a term independent of n (varying ΔY) and ΔY (varying n) in C3 (n) (ΔY/n) or R3 (n)(n/ΔY) and identify it with \(\frac{{\left\langle {K\left( {K - 1} \right)\left( {K - 2} \right)} \right\rangle n}}{{\left\langle K \right\rangle _n }}D^{\left( {^3 } \right)} \left( {v_1^2 ,v_2^2 ,v_3^2 } \right)\) with \(v_i = Y - y_i and Y\frac{1}{3} = \left( {y_1 + y_2 + y_3 } \right)\) This is very interesting in view of the value tentatively attributed to 〈K〉. This, however, requires very large statistics. The procedure is to isolate the short-range correlation term and identify it with what is expected from particles produced from the same cluster.

Of particular interest is the presence of a structure at |t| ∼ 0.3 (GeV/c)2, which would be associated with an important peripheral no-helicity flip contribution. This could correspond to most of the non-resonant “background” when coherently produced.

  33. The inclusive distribution is then written as dδ/dp 2T = (l/s2) G(xT), since s is the only quantity with a dimension. This can of course be rewritten as dσ/dp 2T = (l/pT 4) F(xT). A different function F should appear for different production angles. Since all available data are at 90° this is often omitted.

  35. Confusion between ν and π) (γ-rays are detected) with different bias in the two experiments may explain, at least partly, the actual discrepancy. To the extent that there is an important K/π ratio at large pT (0.3 say), one may expect also a sizeable ν/π ratio.

  36. What is meant by “no” is that in most cases, all the secondaries seen on the same side are soft (pT ∼ 0.4 GeV/c). This does not exclude low probability configurations with two (several) large pT particles. They, however, do not contribute much to the inclusive yield (Fig. 15).

  39. Another possible picture is that of a heavy central fireball with approximate isotropic decay. It would trap the two positive charges and give accordingly a positive excess. One would not expect charged yields at large p to factorize in opposite directions as one would expect in the parton picture.

  40. Results reported at the London Conference indicate a large increase of the number of soft secondaries with increasing PT, while the probability of finding harder ones increases strongly. This occurs on both sides. Most of the associated secondaries are soft.
