Abstract: (Elsevier)
We study large- p T hadron production off nuclear targets in the framework of the QCD inspired parton model. The anomalous nuclear enhancement is interpreted as being due to multiple scattering of partons. The curious trigger dependence of the enhancement results mainly from a particularly intense multiple scattering of gluons. This is a novel and interesting observable manifestation of the existence of the gluon self-coupling.
