Summary
The general theory proposed in the previous paper will be applied to multiple meson processes. This is a field theoretical justification of the Landau theory of multiple meson production, based on a hydrodynamical analogy. According to our calculation, mesons enclosed in a narrow disk will expand in the direction perpendicular to the disk and give a sharp angular distribution in favor of recent experimental data.
Riassunto
Applicheremo la teoria generate proposta nel precedente lavoro a processi di produzione multipla dei mesoni. Daremo una giustificazione, basata salla teoria dei campi, della teoria di Landau della produzione multipla dei mesoni, basata su una analogia idrodiaamica. Secondo i nostri calcoli, i mesoni racchiusi in un piccolo disco si espanderanno in direzione perpendicolare al disco dando una distribuzione angolare netta d’accordo con recenti dati sperimentali.
