Abstract
In the distribution of rapidity gaps between charged particles produced at 100-400 GeV/c, we find direct evidence for the independent production of clusters with density approximately one per unit of rapidity. This cluster-density measurement and the observed charged-particle density imply that the mean number of charged particles per cluster is about two. Implications of these numbers and techniques for refining them are discussed.Keywords
