Abstract

Double-scattering effects are studied in π−d interactions at 360 GeV/c. The partial cross sections σN(π−d), σN(“π−p”) and σN(“π−n”) are presented. The double-scattering probability per πd collision is found to be ƒ = 0.15 ± 0.02. We have extracted the partial cross section XN of the double-scattering plus interference contributions, and find that XN obeys KNO scaling. The data are compared with various theoretical predictions.
