Correlations between high-momentum mesons in p+p → π+π+X at s/sup 1/2/=63 GeV

Description

In pp collisions at √ s=62.3 GeV where each proton fragments into at least one low p/sub T/, high-x pion, no significant correlations for π+π+, π+π- and π-π- are found, thus excluding quark exchange with Brodsky-Gunion counting rules as the dominant interaction mechanism. This, together with the experimental x dependence of single-particle spectra, suggests the introduction of a new counting rule, which is discussed
