Abstract:In a high-statistics experiment at the CERN-ISR we analyze the variation of the average transverse momentum in fixed rapidity intervals as a function of the multiplicity density of charged particles produced in proton-proton collisions at √s = 31, 44 and 62 GeV. The average transverse momentum depends on both rapidity y and charged multiplicity density, ρ = Δn/Δy. The dependence on ρ changes gradually from an increase at low y, constancy at intermediate y and decrease at large y.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
