Abstract

A statistical method is developed for analyzing the angular distribution of meson jets produced by heavy primary cosmic-ray nuclei, enabling detection and elimination of the proton jet due to evaporation of the residual incident nucleus. The procedure is applied to 50 high-energy collisions of heavy primary nuclei. It is shown that a significant fraction of the heavy primaries produce bi-modal meson jets consistent with the two-centre model.
