Single-particle momentum distribution at high energies and concept of partition temperature

  • 1. Department of Physics, University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia 30602

Description

A concept of partition temperature is introduced in high-energy collisions. It is a natural mathematical consequence of the Darwin-Fowler method, and neither requires nor implies thermal equilibrium. A collision at a given incoming energy is described as an incoherent superposition of collisions with different partition temperatures. Angular distributions are then presented for √s = 540 GeV collisions
