Abstract

Elastic scattering in the Multiperipheral Model (MPM) is examined by use of a new method for simplifying unitary calculations - multiparticle impact parameter. The t dependence of elastic scattering in the MPM is related to the average transverse momentum of produced particles, the average multiplicities (observables), phase variation with transverse momentum, and clustering (not observables, in general). It is shown that MPM's are inconsistent with the combination of elastic and multiparticle data, unless either the cluster size or the phases have rather strong energy dependence.

    The dependence of the correlation strengths on projectile energy, target mass and the degree of target fragmentation provides constraints on the various models. The most popular ones were the cluster model [16–22], and others include the additive quark model [23], the dual parton model [24], the coherent tube model [25], the hydrodynamical model [26], the multichain model [27] and the quark string model [28–30]. Therefore, a detailed correlation study is essential to search for the exact reason of correlated emission of particles.

    The dependence of the correlation strengths on projectile energy, target mass and the degree of target fragmentation provides constraints on the various models that have been developed to describe such collisions. The most popular one was the cluster model [27–33], and others include the additive quark model [34], the dual parton model [35], the coherent tube model [36], the hydrodynamical model [37], the multichain model [38] and the quark string model [39–41]. Therefore, a detailed correlation study is essential to search for the uderlying reason of correlated emission of particles.
