Angular correlations between the charged particles produced in pp collisions at ISR energies

Abstract

We present an analysis of rapidity and azimuthal correlations between the charged products of pp collisions at ISR energies. The use of streamer chambers as detectors permits a study of the correlation mechanism at fixed multiplicities. The analysis is restricted to the central rapidity region to suppress diffractive production. A strong short-range correlation is observed, which can be described by independent emission of low-multiplicity clusters, suggestive of abundant resonance production. © 1975.
