Description
A search for the Centauro phenomenon has been made at √s=900 GeV using the UA5 detector at the SPS anti pp collider operated in a pulsed mode. Possible interpretations of the cosmic ray data are discussed leading to various analyses of our data which exploit the distinctive features of the Centauro events: high multiplicity, high pT and absence of produced photons. No indication of Centauro production is observed. Upper limits on the production of Centauros at the level of a few per thousand inelastic events are obtained. (orig.)
