The dispersion energy relation for ultra-high energy nuclear reactions in emulsion

Open full text 0 citations
Abstract
When a large volume of data from cosmic ray emulsion reactions is analysed it is found that the variation of the mean dispersion s in the log tan theta plot of the charged secondaries, at each energy, follows a linear characteristic when plotted against the log energy of the incident particle. The slope of the characteristic is peculiar to the type of incident particle, and is higher for nucleon-nucleon collisions than for pion-nucleon events.
