Abstract:
We report measurements of transverse momentum spectra for ten event multiplicity classes of p-p collisions at GeV. By analyzing the multiplicity dependence we find that the spectrum shape can be decomposed into a part with amplitude proportional to multiplicity and described by a L\'evy distribution on transverse mass , and a part with amplitude proportional to multiplicity squared and described by a gaussian distribution on transverse rapidity . The functional forms of the two parts are nearly independent of event multiplicity. The two parts can be identified with the soft and hard components of a two-component model of p-p collisions. This analysis then provides the first isolation of the hard component of the spectrum as a distribution of simple form on .Note:
