Remarks on the 200-GeV/cData and the Independent-Emission Model

Abstract

A numerical analysis of $\mathrm{pp}\to \mathrm{NN}\pi \cdots \pi$ with an independent-emission model is given at National Accelerator Laboratory energies and compared with a previous analysis at 21 GeV/c. Specifically, model calculations of distributions at 205 GeV/c and 21 GeV/c are presented, along with their implications for data. It is concluded that the most important feature left out of the model is the lack of two-or-more-particle interactions at the exclusive level.
