Abstract: | Momenta of charged particles produced in inelastic αα, αp, andpp collisions were measured using the Split-Field-Magnet detector at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings. Inclusive and semi-in-clusive spectra are presented as a function of rapidityy, Feynman-x, and transverse momentump T . The inclusivey distributions agree well with predictions of the dual parton model; the highest particle densities are reached aty?0 and the momenta of leading protons decrease significantly for increasing total multiplicity. ‘Temperatures’ are equal in αα, αp, andpp interactions. Thep T distributions depend weakly on the multiplicity. |
