Description

We analyse the variation of the average transverse momentum, , with the multiplicity of charged particles produced in pp, anti pp, dd and αα collisions at ISR energies. An increase of with increasing particle density ρ=ΔN/Δy for charged particles produced in the central region is observed. The energy dependence of this effect and its dependence on the type of colliding particles are discussed. (orig.)
