Analysis of pion–nucleus interactions in the framework of a multistring model

Abstract

A multistring model implemented through Monte Carlo code, modified-FRITIOF is used to analyse the data from π– –Em interactions at high energies. The model is based on the concept of classical strings, and using the method of longitudinal excitation as a means of string formation, the subsequent string fragmentation follows the Lund fragmentation scheme. The analysis gives interesting comparison between the data and the model predictions. PACS No.: 25.70
