Abstract
We study the production of large transverse momentum particles in massive electrodynamics. The dominant final states at large energy are very different from those proposed in recent models. The large transverse momentum “trigger” particle is accompanied by other particles all of which have large transverse momentum. With the exception of the balancing particle these are uncorrelated in direction with the trigger. The magnitudes of their transverse momenta are ordered in exactly the same manner as longitudinal momenta are ordered in small transverse momentum collisions. At fixed x · = p ·/√ s their longitudinal momenta are not ordered but become so as x · → 0. At infinite energies the average multiplicity, at fixed x ·, is given by c( logs) 1 3 . At x · → 0 it is given by c′ log s. These results are contrasted with the parton like results of φ 3. The multiplicity distribution is much narrower than Poisson.
