Central production of charged particles at CDF
Abstract
Particles produced in soft proton antiproton interactions at the Fermilab Tevatron collider are studied at center of mass energies ($\sqrt{\rm s}$) of 630 and 1800 GeV. The data were taken using a minimum bias trigger during the 1987 run of the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). The event structure of proton antiproton interactions has been studied. Analyses of inclusive charged particle transverse momenta, multiplicity distribution and correlations of charged particles are presented. Particle clusters in minimum bias triggers are studied to verify whether the hard interaction QCD models are applicable in the low $E\sb{\rm T}$ region.
