Abstract
The B-J Collaboration experiments discovered high transverse momenta in had ronic interactions, through cosmic ray events. Among then, mean transverse moments < P-Th > of the order of 1 GeV/c events were found and such events mere nicknamed Centauro events. As the high transverse moments are of hadro nic particles, naturally this is connected with the criteria of identificat ion of secondaries. To have more confidence on the abnormal features of Cen tauro events, we used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov non parametric test, aiming to show the discrepancy with normal events.
