Two-particle rapidity correlations in proton-nucleus interactions at 300 GeV

Two particle rapidity correlations among produced particles in proton-nucleus interactions at high energies

“…The asymmetry of the function Rz(t/,, t/2) has been discussed earlier in the paper [4]. In contrast to the conclusion of this paper [4], we can see that this asymmetry has mainly the trivial origin, since it can be reproduced qualitatively by the independentemission model.…”

“…The asymmetry of the function Rz(t/,, t/2) has been discussed earlier in the paper [4]. In contrast to the conclusion of this paper [4], we can see that this asymmetry has mainly the trivial origin, since it can be reproduced qualitatively by the independentemission model. It is obvious that this asymmetry is the straightforward consequence of the fact that in events with very large number of produced particles the angular distributions are asymmetric in the p N center of mass system.…”

“…Since the measurements of one-particle distributions alone are insufficient to understand details of the production mechanism, it is attractive to investigate correlations between produced particles. Unfortunately, only a few works have been devoted to such investigations so far [2][3][4]. We present new data on the two-particle rapidity correlations in proton-nucleus interactions at 20-200 Gev/c.…”
