Abstract

It is pointed out that the form of the distribution of energy-momentum transfers in the « diffraction region » of high-energy elastic proton-proton and pion-nucleon scattering is applicable to the « longitudinal » energy-momentum transfers in high-energy (~< 1012 eV) inelastic nucleon-nucleon collisions. Except for a change in the value of a parameter of the distribution, the same is also applicable to the momentumtransfer distribution in the collision of the virtual particles into which the nucleon-nucleon collisions can be decomposed on the basis of an assumed model. The implication of applying these energy-momentumtransfer distributions to the case of pion-nucleon collisions is examined briefly.
