Abstract
Compensation of transverse momentum is studied in pi+ p interactions a t 250 GeV/c. Significant p(T)-transfer is found between c.m.s. hemisph eres. With respect to the beam axis transverse momentum is compensated over the whole event, with respect to the sphericity axis mainly with in one hemisphere. The highest p(T) in the event is mainly compensated by increased multiplicity. The QGSM and FRITIOF models qualitatively reproduce these effects, but important differences are observed.
