ON SLOW-PARTICLE PRODUCTION IN 200A GEV O-16-EMULSION INTERACTIONS

The multiplicity distributions and the correlations of different types of slow particles produced in 200A GeV oxygen-induced interactions wi th emulsion nuclei are presented. The experimental distributions are s tudied within the framework of the generalized Andersson-Otterlund-Ste nlund (AOS) model for nucleus-nucleus interactions. The generalized (A OS) model fails to describe the present experimental data. Also a syst ematic comparison using the calculations of VENUS model is made. The g rey-particles multiplicity is successfully reproduced by the theoretic al multistring model VENUS, while the model is inadequate for explaini ng the distribution of black particles.
