Inclusive cross section ratios in highp T proton-proton scattering at ISR energies

Abstract

Ratios of inclusive cross sections σ(π+)/σ(π++K ++p) and\(\sigma (\pi ^ - )/\sigma (\pi ^ - + K^ - + \bar p)\) were measured for proton-proton interactions with a highp T hadron in the final state around c.m.s. scattering angles θ≅20°, 20° and 45° at two ISR energies\(\sqrt s = 31\) Gev and 62 GeV. Results are shown as functions of transverse and longitudinal momentum and are compared with parton model predictions. The different dependences of positive and negative pion fractions atp T ≅2–3 GeV/c on longitudinal momenta is similar to that observed in soft hadronic interactions at low values ofp T where the leading proton effect (diquark fragmentation) is known to contribute. The quantitative agreement of the data with diquark model predictions indicates the presence of diquark fragmentation also in highp T jets.
