Leading nucleon and inelasticity in hadron-nucleus interactions
نویسنده
چکیده
We present in this paper a calculation of the average proton-nucleus inelasticity. Using an Iterative Leading Particle Model and the Glauber model we relate the leading particle distribution in nucleon-nucleus interactions with the respective one in nucleon-proton collisions. To describe the leading particle distribution in nucleon-proton collisions we use the Regge-Mueller formalism.

Inelasticity for hadron-carbon nucleus collisions from emulsion chamber
The inelasticity of hadron-carbon collisions for energies exceeding 100 TeV is estimated from the carbonemulsion chamber data at Pamirs to be 〈KC〉 = 0.65± 0.08. When combined with data on hadron-lead collisions taken at the same energy range it results in the K ∼ A mass number dependence of inelasticity. The evaluated partial inelasticity for secondary (ν > 1) interactions, Kν>1 ≃ 0.2, suggests...
متن کاملThree steps in intranuclear cascading
Between the initial excitation of nucleons by the passing throughout each other and the final cascading of newly created hadrons there should be considered one more step. We call it the second step cascading process. It acts as an interaction of wounded nucleon from one nucleus with another nucleon from the same nucleus. This mechanism leads to the significant increase on the inelasticity for n...
متن کاملHadronic Interactions for High Energy Cosmic Ray Air Showers
Understanding hadronic interactions at high energies represents a very important ingredient for modeling high energy cosmic ray air showers. In this paper, we present a new approach to simulate hadronic interactions, including hadron-hadron, hadron-nucleus, and nucleus-nucleus scattering, in the energy range roughly between 10 11 and 10 17 eV. Such collisions are very complex, being composed of...
متن کاملBaryon Number Transfer in Hadron+Nucleus and Nu- cleus+Nucleus Collisions: a Link Between Elementary and Complex Interactions
Abstract. The baryon number transfer is studied in elementary and complex hadronic interactions at the CERN experiment NA49 at the SPS, at 158 AGeV beam energy ( √ s = 17.2GeV ). A two component picture is proposed, which builds up the net proton distribution from a target and a projectile component. Using pion beam, the projectile component is experimentally determined for p+p and p+A interact...
متن کاملInelasticity and intranuclear cascading in geometrical multichain model
The inelasticity in nucleus-nucleus collisions at high energies is calculated in the framework of geometrical multichain model. The very fast increase of the inelasticity is found as a result of a second-stage cascading process. The same behaviour is expected for all the models using the wounded nucleon idea. The simple formula for the number of wounded nucleons inside colliding nuclei does not...
