Abstract

The one pion exchange model is applied to the investigation of inelastic proton-nucleon interactions with a primary kinetic energy of 8·3 GeV. The experimental comparison is carried out using a modified momentum-energy four-vector of the virtual pion,\(\bar \Delta \), which is determined from the energy and angle of emission of the recoil nucleon. It is shown that the OPE model — if we include the pion-nucleon resonance (T=3/2) effects — may describe the basic mechanism of peripheral interactions for\(\bar \Delta ^2 \)<0·2 ≈ (3μ)2.
