Abstract
Pion-proton collisions have been studied at 6 GeV/c in the Ecole Polytechnique one-meter heavy liquid bubble chamber exposed at the CERN P.S. The momentum distribution, in the laboratory system, of the recoiling protons which are too energetic to be visually separated from positive pions has been obtained by a subtraction method based on pion identification. Delta-ray production provides that identification with negative tracks being used to estimate the detection efficiency. An overall picture of the proton behaviour can thus be obtained which confirms the predominance of « glancing » collisions in high-energy interactions.
