Abstract
Nuclear emulsion plates exposed to 70 GeV protons have been scanned for inelastic interactions. The rapidity distribution of the shower particles observed in 132 events are presented. The dependence of rapidity on the target nucleus mass number has been studied and compared with the results for other energies obtained by earlier workers. The individual rapidity of the shower particles observed in some high multiplicity events are also shown. The qualitative features of the observed rapidity distributions are found to agree with the Glauber–Gribov multiperipheral model.
