I -z Introduction

The mechanism of hadron fragmentation and resultant

particle production in high energy hadron-hadron collisions

is not well understood. In order to investigate the main

features of the fragmentation process we have carried out an

extensive experimental survey of the forward particle

spectra for incident pions, kaons, and protons, and a broad

range of targets and incident energies. The results on the

projectile and energy dependence of the spectra for a proton

target have been presented previously.’ In this paper we

concentrate on the target dependence of the spectra.

There are several motivations for investigating

projectile fragmentation from such apparently complex

targets as nuclei. From the point of view of the study of

the hypothesis of limiting fragmentation*, nuclear targets

add a new dimension. Consider, for example, a

hadron-nucleus collision in the rest frame of the incident

hadron, i.e., in which the nucleus is the projectile. Two

interesting questions arise:

1) At high energies, do hadron targets fragment in an

energy-independent way for projectiles

considerably more massive and complex

than nucleons?

2) If so, to what extent does the fragmentation depend

on the projectile?

We know from previous hadron-nucleus experiments that

at high energies the multiplication of hadrons within a

nucleus is relatively weak.3 This has been interpreted as

evidence of long formation times of the produced particles. 4

If this is a correct interpretation, nuclear targets can be

looked upon as filters analyzing the wave function of the

projectile .5 From this point of view, the leading particle

spectra reflect that part of the wave function which has not

been absorbed by the target.

Finally, the A-dependence of the leading particle

spectra can give information on the rate of energy loss of

strongly interacting particles as they pass through nuclear

matter. 6 In contrast to the extensive knowledge of the

energy loss by ionisation when charged particles pass

through ordinary matter, little is known about the nuclear

stopping power for hadrons. This information is .not only

important for a better understanding of the interactions

that take place when two hadrons pass through each other,

but also is needed for predicting the kind of nuclear

densities that may be achieved in head-on collisions of

large nuclei .6

Previous measurements of the A-dependence of inclusive

processes in the beam fragmentation region include IT’, K’,

p, and F production in proton interactions at 24 GeV7, To,

A0 8 , K’production by protons at 300 GeV , E’ production by s

protons at 400 GeV 9

, and neutron production by protons at 10

400 GeV . In this experiment, we have measured the

inclusive production of x’ , K ‘, p, and 3 in 100 GeV K+, K+,

and p collisions with C, Al, Cu, Ag, and Pb targets. Since

essentially the same equipment was used in an earlier

measurement of these same processes for a hydrogen target,

an accurate comparison between hA and hp interactions, free

of many systematic errors, is possible. Preliminary results

of this experiment have been discussed in Ref. 11.

II. The Experimental Method and Measured Cross Sections - -

The data were collected using the Fermilab Single Arm

Spectrometer facility in the M6E beam line. An incident

positive beam of 100 GeV/c was used. The production of the

fast secondaries was measured over a momentum range of 30

GeV -< P -< 88 GeV/c and transverse momentum range 0.18 <- p,i

0.5 GeV/c. Data were taken simultaneously for the nine

reaction types (xx, xK, xp, etc.). Good n-K-p separation

was achieved over the entire kinematic range using the seven

xerenkov counters of the facility. Full details of the

apparatus, data taking, and analysis procedures are

described in Ref. 1.

A list of the targets used in the experiment is given

in Table 1. Typical data consisted of a sequential set of

measurements using the thickest targets of C, Al, Cu, Ag,

and Pb along with an empty target run at a fixed

spectrometer momentum and angle setting. In this way, the

A-dependence of the invariant cross sections for each

Page 6: 0 Fermi National Accelerator Laboratorylss.fnal.gov/archive/1982/pub/Pub-82-064-E.pdf · 0 Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory ... M. T. Chiaradia, ... Istituto di Fisica and Istituto

Page 5

channel could be studied without requiring detailed

knowledge of absolute acceptance apertures, particle

identification efficiencies, etc. The thinner targets were

used at P = 40 GeV/c and 80 GeV/c to study finite target

thickness effects by extrapolation to zero target thickness.

The average corrections to the thick target data were

x-independent and %~R%.

In a manner similar to that described in Ref. 1, the

interaction rates were corrected for particle absorption and

decay in the spectrometer, multiple scattering losses in the

spectrometer, particle misidentification, and track

reconstruction inefficiencies. The corrected rates were

then used to obtain the invariant differential cross section

for every channel.

In addition to the nuclear targets, data were taken on

a hydrogen target at P = 40 GeV/c and 80 GeV/c for Pt I 0.3

GeV/c. Tbe invariant cross sections for the high statistics

n+p + x+X and pp + pX channels measured in this experiment

agree on the average with those previously quoted1 to 4 -I 2%

in absolute value. Throughout this paper the quoted

hydrogen cross sections are the statistically more accurate

ones measured earlier.

The complete set of measurements of the invariant cross

sections is given in Table 2. The errors are primarily

statistical, but contain a small contribution from particle

misidentification. The overall normalisation uncertainty is

Page 7: 0 Fermi National Accelerator Laboratorylss.fnal.gov/archive/1982/pub/Pub-82-064-E.pdf · 0 Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory ... M. T. Chiaradia, ... Istituto di Fisica and Istituto

Page 6

estimated to be 10%. The systematic uncertainty due to

particle misidentification, in the reactions with an

outgoing kaon, is less than 5%. As an illustration of these

results, in Figs. 1 - 4 the invariant cross sections for

+ + p+ p, p+ TI , n +n; andx

+ + K+ at Pt = 0.3 GeV/c are 12

plotted as a function of Feynman x.

In order to exhibit explicitly the A-dependence of the

data, at every kinematic point the invariant cross sections

were fitted to the empirical form

3 Ey = o. Aa . ..(l)

Hydrogen data were not included in the fits. A typical data

set and the fit to it are shown in Fig. 5. The results of

all the fits are given in Table 2. As can be seen from

these results, as well as from most other nuclear target

experiments, the extrapolation of equation (1) to A = 1 does

not yield the hydrogen result. This makes clear that

conclusions drawn from experiments that use only one nuclear

target in conjunction with hydrogen should be treated with

caution.

III. Discussion of Results -

The A-dependence of the inelastic cross sections on

13 nuclei at 100 GeV can be parameterized as : 25 8A”‘76mb, .

20.9A”‘7gmb 0.72 , and 38.2A + mb for incident II , K’, and

protons respectively. The corresponding hydrogen cross

sections are14 : 20.2mb, 16.7mb, and 31.4mb. A comparison

of these values with those in Table 2 indicates that, over

the entire projectile fragmentation region, and for all

produced particles, the ratio of the inclusive cross section

to the total inelastic cross section is smaller for a

nuclear than for a proton target. Furthermore, this ratio

decreases as the size of the nucleus increases.

As a test of the hypothesis of limiting fragmentation*,

we can compare our incident proton data at 100 GeV with

those of Eichten et al.’ at 24 GeV. We find that the --

absolute values of the cross sections on nuclei are slightly

higher at 24 GeV than at 100 GeV. A similar change is seen

in proton target data over this energy range. l5 The

A-dependences at the two energies are in very good

agreement. We conclude that while the fragmentation of the

projectile does depend on the nature of the target, the

approach to scaling in Feynman x does not.

For the kinematic range covered by this experiment, the

A-dependence as expressed by the exponent c exhibits a

remarkable simplicity. With a few exceptions, discussed

later, it is only a function of x and incident particle

Page 9: 0 Fermi National Accelerator Laboratorylss.fnal.gov/archive/1982/pub/Pub-82-064-E.pdf · 0 Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory ... M. T. Chiaradia, ... Istituto di Fisica and Istituto

Page a

type. It is independent of the outgoing particle type. To

illustrate these features, in Fig. 6 we plot a as a function

of x for a broad range of proton-induced reactions. In the

interest of clarity, data points with errors in a greater

than kO.03 have been omitted. The curve which has the

functional form a(x) = 0.74 - 0.55x + 0.26x2 is a

polynomial fit to all previous world data and data from this

experiment. It has no particular significance other than to

guide the eye. Although we have not plotted some

statistically less significant results in Fig. 6, it should

be pointed out that all our proton data are well represented

by the fitted curve, with x*/DF = 0.7, (see Fig. 7). Except

for p+ p at 24 GeV and p + z” at 400 GeV, the data in Fig.

6 for x > 0.2 suggest that a is a function of x alone. In

other words, they suggest that, for a given x, the ratios of

the production of various types of particles are independent

of the target and of the incident energy.

If one takes this suggestion seriously and couples it

to the observation that the functional form of dc/dx differs

dramatically for various outgoing particle&, one seems to

arrive at a very strong set of constraints on the possible

mechanisms of particle production. For example, such

behaviour does not follow naturally from models such as the

additive quark model 16

, which assumes that the leading

particle spectrum is a reflection of the momentum spectrum

of those valence quarks which are not absorbed in the

target, nor does it follow from dual-parton models. l7 This

Page 10: 0 Fermi National Accelerator Laboratorylss.fnal.gov/archive/1982/pub/Pub-82-064-E.pdf · 0 Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory ... M. T. Chiaradia, ... Istituto di Fisica and Istituto

Page 9

is most readily seen in the the similarity of the

A-dependence of channels such as p-+ p, p+ ho, +

orp-tx,

where the projectile and outgoing particle have one or more

valence quarks in common, to the A-dependence of channels

such as p-+r’, p+ Ki, or p-+ Y, where there are no common

valence quarks.

The data are also inconsistent with any mechanism whose

essence is that the hadronic matter from the incident

particle is slowed down as it passes through the target, and

then decays into different particles in ratios independent

of the final momentum of this hadronic matter. If this were

the case, the ratios of particles at a given x on nuclear

targets would be the same as the ratios from a proton target

at a higher value of x, and not at the same x as is

observed.

Finally, it is difficult to see how any multiple

collision model could account for the observed trends, in

particular the constancy as a function of A of the ratios of

the various produced particles at the highest values of x,

i.e., greater than, say, 0.5. One possible mechanism which

could explain such a constancy is that, at high x, particles

are produced in collisions where only one target nucleon is

involved. However, if this were so, a should be independent

of x and should approach a value of about 0.31 for incident

protons. This corresponds to the A-dependence of the

probability of a collision with a single nucleon in the

nucleus.

Page 10

A similar comprehensive study of x+- and K+-induced

reactions is not possible because, as is apparent from Fig.

8, for most channels our statistical accuracy is inadequate,

and no other comparable data exist. The only general

conclusion that can be drawn from these data is that for x+-

and K+-induced reactions, a tends to be higher than for

proton-induced reactions. This may simply be a reflection

of differences in the II, K, and p inelastic cross sections

on nucleons.

Among the r and K data the only channels with

sufficient data to allow us to investigate the x-dependences

are x+ + pi+ and TI+ + TI-. These results are replotted in

Fig. 9, together with the polynomial fit to the proton data

(solid line) and the same fit displaced by 0.045, the

difference in the A-dependence of the inelastic cross

section of pions and protons (broken line). These data

suggest that the x-dependence of a for r-induced reactions

follows a universal curve similar to that observed in the

proton data, but that superimposed on it for these

particular channels there is an enhancement in a around an

x-value of 0.7. This enhancement probably reflects some

coherent nuclear phenomenon. l8 At very low momentum

transfers similar enhancements have been seen by Whalley et -

al lo’ -- in the p + n channel.

Page 12: 0 Fermi National Accelerator Laboratorylss.fnal.gov/archive/1982/pub/Pub-82-064-E.pdf · 0 Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory ... M. T. Chiaradia, ... Istituto di Fisica and Istituto

Page 11

In the past many experiments using emulsion targets

have claimed that as x increases a first decreases and then

increases towards a value equal to that of the inelastic

cross section. This trend has been interpreted by somel

as an indication of a multiperipheral type of interaction.

We see no evidence for such a trend.

Consistent with earlier experiments over the limited

range in transverse momenta covered by our data, we find no

significant variation of the A-dependence as a function of

pt * In Fig. 10, for example, the difference of c at a Pt

of 0.3 and 0.5 GeV is plotted as a function of x for

+ + 71 +?I ( lr+. -+ 71- + ,p+x ,andp+ p. This behaviour also

excludes the interpretation of particle production in nuclei

in terms of sequential collisions.

To summarize , we observe from our data and from a

comparison of our data with earlier experiments, that the

A-dependence of the inclusive cross sections in the

projectile fragmentation region exhibits a remarkable

simplicity. For most channels the A-dependence is a

universal , weakly-decreasing function of x independent of

the outgoing particle, its transverse momentum, and the

incident energy. The difference of the A-dependences for

various incident particles probably arises from the

different inelastic cross sections on nucleons. We know of

no model which in a natural way predicts such a simple

behaviour . However, it should be pointed out that most

current models have sufficient flexibility to encompass the

Page 13: 0 Fermi National Accelerator Laboratorylss.fnal.gov/archive/1982/pub/Pub-82-064-E.pdf · 0 Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory ... M. T. Chiaradia, ... Istituto di Fisica and Istituto

Page 12

data. Our results do not rule out a weak dependence of

a on the produced particle, and it is possible that a is

not very sensitive to the mechanism of production. In the

TI+ -+ 71+ channels, there is evidence in our data for the

presence of some coherent phenomena.
