Interactions of 400 GeV protons with different target nuclei in emulsion

The interaction characteristics of 400 GeV protons with emulsion nuclei were studied and discussed. The multiplicity distributions of secondary charged particles have been measured for 480 inelastic events and are compared with the results obtained in p-emulsion (P-Em) collisions at different energies. The integral distribution of the number of disintegrated particles from the target nuclei N-h is used to separate the number of the inelastic interactions of proton with light (CNO) and heavy (AgBr) nuclei in the emulsion. The interaction characteristics of protons (400 GeV) with different groups of target nuclei have been investigated. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
