Short-range and long-range correlations in cosmic ray interactions
Keyword(s):
Forward–backward correlations in the centre of mass system have been studied in nucleon–nucleon interactions at cosmic ray energies [Formula: see text]. The study indicates the presence of short-range as well as long-range correlations. The study also indicates the production of heavy clusters, predicted by Adamovich et al. in their multiperipheral model, in cosmic ray interactions.
