Transverse Energy Carried by Charged Particles in Anti Pp and Pp Collisions at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings

摘要

Global features of anti pp and pp collisions at a c.m.s. energy of 53 GeV are compared as functions of the summed transverse energy sigma /sub c/ E/sub T/ of charged particles in the central region absolute value y < 0.8. They are found to be very similar for sigma /sub c/ E/sub T/ up to approx. = to 12 GeV. For both types of collisions, all gross features for sigma /sub c/ E/sub T/ up to 6 to 8 GeV are well described by a model that folds together the inclusive multiplicity and p/sub T/ distributions. At higher values of sigma /sub c/ E/sub T/ the data deviate increasingly from the model. (ERA citation 08:010926)
