Mass dependent slopes of momentum transfer distributions in inclusive reactions according to the thermodynamic model

Abstract

Inclusive single particle spectra according to the thermodynamic model are studied in the form d 2N/ dt dM ∗ . It is found, that the slopes of the momentum transfer dependence decrease with increasing | t| in a similar way as found in experimental data. At small | t| the slopes decrease with growing M ∗ less strongly than found experimentally. The slopes differ also for different produced particles X. Furthermore the cross sections d 2N/ dt dM ∗ rise exponentially with growing M ∗ , the slope depending again on the nature of the produced particle X.
