Abstract
On the basis of the analysis of high-energy jets performed in Cracow's Laboratory of High Energy Physics (Holynski et al. 1966) this paper proposes a new model of high-energy nucleon–nucleus interactions. The double maximum angular distribution of the high-energy jets has been explained as the result of the peripheral collision of the incident nucleon and one of the nucleons of the target nucleus and as the consequent central interaction of the now-produced "fast" fireball with another nucleon of the nucleus. The number of generated particles has been estimated from the usual thermodynamic equations. The conditions necessary for the secondary interaction (in the nucleus) of the π mesons produced in the decay of the "slow" fireball have been found. In the light of a comparison of our estimated results with experimental data a possible model of the fireball is discussed.
