Characteristics of the Reaction p+p-->p+X at 205 GeV/c
Abstract
The inelastic reaction p+p-->p+X is studied at 205 GeV/c. The distribution of the square of the missing mass, M2, shows a large diffractivelike peak at low M2 due to two-, four-, and six-prong events. The slope of the invariant cross section versus t decreases with increasing M2. The energy dependences of the multiplicity moments for the recoiling system X are similar to those for corresponding moments for p+p-->(n charged particles).
