Comparison Between Minimum Bias Events at ISR and C-Jet Events at Chacaltaya
Abstract
Minimum-bias events in pp collisions at square root of s equals 53 GeV, at the CERN ISR, are compared to cosmic ray-induced C-jet events at square root of s equals 530 GeV, at Chacaltaya. The interaction energy in the energy region of the C-jet events is found to be minutely divided into a larger number of secondary particles, with a rapidity plateau more than twice as high as that of minimum-bias events. In addition, the transverse momentum distribution of C-events shows a larger tail in the high p(t) region. The comparisons presented encompass energy distributions, transverse momentum, and emission angle of photons.
