Abstract

The production of noncoplanar hadron pairs in proton-nucleus interactions is studied experimentally for the case where the transverse momenta of product particles are in excess of 1 GeV/c. The values obtained for the exponent in the A dependence of the cross section for the production of noncoplanar hadron pairs are substantially greater than those for coplanar pairs. This nuclear-mass-number dependence for the production of hadron pairs can be explained by the contribution of multiparton interactions in proton-nucleus collisions.
