Abstract

The multiplicity and angular distributions of intermediate-energy (grey) nucleons are studied from 50 GeV π- data and compared with those available from π- and p-nucleus interactions at other energies. The value of is found to be dependent both on the energy as well as on the projectile. The former variation is attributable to kinematics and the latter explainable on the basis of the additive quark model. The angular distribution of grey particles is found to be independent of energy, projectile and target, which supports the view that grey particles are chiefly due to knock-on recoiling protons. The various versions of the cascade model, however, are unable to explain any of the observed features of grey-particle distributions.
