Soft hadron production in pp interactions up to ISR energies


Soft hadron production in pp interactions up to ISR energies

Müller, H.

Soft hadron production is described as a two-step process, where the
interaction of the partonic constituents of the colliding hadrons
leads to the production of intermediate subsystems (fireballs), which
decay subsequently into hadrons. The weights of the various final
states are derived from the corresponding phase-space factors modified
by empirical transition elements. The results compare well with data
at energies between particle production thresholds and ISR
energies. Special emphasis is put on correlation data, which offer the
opportunity to shed some light on the question whether particle
production proceeds via fireballs or strings.
