Abstract
The distribution with c.m. rapidity,y, of the net charge of hadrons produced inK − p interactions at 110 GeV/c is presented and compared withK − p and π- p data at several energies from 10 to 360 GeV/c. In both reactions and at all energies the net charge changes sign from positive to negative aty∼0. The total net charge in the forward direction is −0.70±0.02 at 110 GeV/c. It decreases with increasing energy and the results are consistent with a total net forward charge of −1.0 at infinite energies. These results imply that the fragments of the beam and target particles are far from being completely separated even at the highest energies available at present accelerators.
