PARTICLE PRODUCTION SPECTRA AND THE INTERNAL STRUCTURE OF THE HADRONS.

Abstract

Longitudinal momentum distributions of produced pions from hadron-hadron collisions were derived from the quark-boson hadron model in which the hadron is a bound system of quarks (three for a nucleon, two for a meson) and a number of fluctuating charged and neutral bosons. The model was obtained previously by the authors from the study of the inelastic form factors, or the structure functions in eN, nu N and nu N scattering. The momentum distributions derived here with no free parameter fit through the five-decade measured cross sections for pp interactions and reproduce the asymmetric spectra observed in pi -p, pi +p and K+p interactions.
