Popis: In 400-GeV proton-nucleus interactions, the fireball candidates are defined by employing three methods (Duller-Walker plot, target plot, and Berger's criterion) simultaneously on each individual event. The lower limit of four-momentum transfer (${q}_{l}$) between the fireballs is studied. The value of ${q}_{l}$ is found to increase with secondary particle multiplicity. The ${q}_{l}$ distribution favors the exchange of heavy mesons such as the f meson between the fireballs.
