Behavior of the multiplicity with large perpendicular momentum transferred to the leading proton as predicted by multiple quark scattering

The previous calculation used to explain the rise in multiplicity with increasing p/sub perpendicular/ given to the leading proton has been extended to include higher order quark--quark scattering terms. It is found that another abrupt rise in the multiplicity can be expected at p/sub perpendicular/ approx. 1.5 GeV/c, where third-order inelastic scattering terms begin to dominate over second-order terms
