Nuclear Events at High Energies

Abstract

The statistical model, introduced by Fermi, is used to calculate the probabilities for various nuclear events at high energies. A general method for evaluating the phase integrals is proposed and used to find to some extent the consequences of neglect of pion momentum conservation. The effect of pion indistinguishability is studied and tables giving the probabilities for various processes are presented together with the energy spectra of the corresponding final nucleons.
