Abstract
The statistical model of particle production makes definite predictions about «compound-elastic» scattering cross-sections. Such predictions are available in a numerical form for π-N and p-p collisions with primary energy (laboratory-system) between zero and about 20 to 30 GeV. The result is that the «compound-elastic» cross-section for π-N should show the following dependence on the total centre-of-momentum energyE (measured in GeV):\(4\pi \frac{{d\sigma _{e1} }}{{d\Omega }}|_{large angles} \equiv \left\langle {\sigma _E } \right\rangle \approx \sigma _{ine1} ^ - \exp \left[ { - 3.17\left( {E - 1.40} \right) \cdot f\left( E \right)} \right]\) wheref(E) is a slowly varying function representing the «inelasticity». Experimental results are compared to this prediction and qualitative agreement is found.
