K+ p Multiparticle Production in the 30" NAL Hybrid Chamber at the Highest Possible Energy
Abstract
One of the unique features of NAL that cannot be duplicated elsewhere (i.e. at CERN-ISR) is the ability to make high energy neutrino beams and high energy meson beams, It appears that meson-proton interactions may have given us some insight into hadron structure because the asymmetry (2 quarks on 3) which one observes in them cannot be seen in proton-proton (3 quarks on 3) interactions. Although the asymmetry can be observed in {pi} p collisions, it is likely that more can be learned if the role played by a single quark or parton can be identified, In K{sup +}p interactions this becomes a possibility because one quark in the K{sup +} meson carries a strangeness quantum number which has potential for identification after the interaction by means of the K{sup o} decay signature.
