Abstract

Events with a large transverse momentum (>1 GeV/ c) pion or nucleon have been selected from the data of a high-statistics pp bubble chamber experiment (√ s=6.84 GeV). Only events in which all secondary particles could be identified were used. One finds that fewer pions are produced in the azimuthal hemisphere containing the large transverse momentum particle than in the opposite hemisphere. An indication for coplanarity is found. Most pions associated with a large transverse momentum pion are emitted with small absolute c.m. rapidities, whereas those associated with large transverse momentum nucleons show some back-to-back structure. Various results of this investigation are similar to those obtained at the ISR. Most of the findings are compatible with predictions from an independent emission model.
