Measurements of the dependence on s = ( p a + p b ) 2 of the cross sections for production of single charged hadrons in the reactions a + b -+c +anything are presented. Particle c was detected in a fixed interval of laboratory momentum and angle in the fragmentation region of the target proton. The .rr* and K + production data are consistent with the h.iueller-Regge prediction of an approach to scaling as A + Bs -"'.Further tests of a simple Regge-pole model indicate that the s dependence measured is fortuitous, and that higher-energy data are required in order to make detailed tests of the model.
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.
