Abstract

The inclusive production of charged hadrons has been measured in αα and αp collisions at nucleon-nucleon c.m. energies (√snn)of 31 and 44 GeV, respectively, for transverse momenta pT up to 5 GeV/c in the central rapidity (y) region. at high pT the yields are consistent with being 4 times and 16 times highere than the ones in pp interactions at y=0, for αp and αα interactions, respectively. However, an enhancement over these factors, as expected from an earlier FNAL experiment, cannot be ruled out.
