| Popis: | The mean multiplicity of charged particles in nucleon-nucleon collisions at 2 800 GeV has been determined by two different methods. The two methods give results in good agreement with each other and with Wilson cloud chamber results. The weighted mean from this experiment is 〈ns〉=10.8±0.8. The mean energy has been found by two different methods, the second of which involves a determination of the cosmic-ray proton energy spectrum from 1010 to 1016 eV. The change in the average multiplicity in nucleon-nucleon collisions from 16 GeV to 2 800 GeV can be well approximated by a law 〈ns〉=4.1 logE/log 16 whereE is the incident proton energy in GeV. |
