| Abstract: | Using data from our K?p experiment at 8.25 GeV/c we have investigated the charged particle multiplicity, and the variation of charged pion multiplicity as a function of the effective mass squared of all pions, for various samples of data, and compared our results with p annihilation data and pp data. Evidence is presented which suggests that the difference in behaviour between the annihilation and non-annihilation data is not due to some specific mechanism such as baryon exchange, but is related to the absence of leading particles in the former case. |
