Description

In this paper the authors present new data for the reactions π-p → psub(slow) + X- and π-p → π-sub(fast) + X+ at 147 GeV/c. This is the first time that experimental information on these two processes has been obtained using the same apparatus at Fermilab energies. The triple-Regge formalism is applied to the differential cross sections dsigma/dM2sub(x) of both reactions using all the data at present available in the literature. A good description of the data is obtained when parameters from a triple-Regge fit of the reaction pp → p + X are used, together with the assumption of factorization of the pomeron and the reggeons. The equality of the dsigma/dM2sub(x) distributions of the two reactions may be explained in terms of an interesting assumption in the framework of the independent quark model and imposes an additional relation between the triple-Regge terms.
