Description

After our pursuit of 'TeV' nuclear physics and our further discovery of the role of 'rapidity' and its approximation to experimental situations, the past study of 3,987 soft interactions (jets) of proton-emulsion nuclei from 0.03 to 0.4 TeV [3] and that of 972 jets of pion-emulsion nuclei from 0.02 to 0.3 TeV [4] raise one important question of feasibility concerning hadron-nucleus collisions around TeV: There seems to exist fireball states (possibly qq, 'glue balls', etc.) promptly produce around the collision center of total momentum, and those states eventually decay into observed meson secondaries (pions and kaons) after gradual enhancement of their masses in the course of their passages through the nuclear media of the incident particle and the target nuclei
