Production of High-Transverse-Energy Events inp-Nucleus Collisions at 400 GeV/c

Abstract
High-transverse-energy events produced in proton-nucleus collisions at 400 GeV/c were studied with use of the Fermilab multiparticle spectrometer. The cross sections for such interactions increase more rapidly than the atomic mass number for both small- and large-acceptance data. The nuclear events are less planar than the corresponding high-transverse-energy pp events.
