Abstract: (APS)
Negative-pion multiplicities 〈n−〉 produced by asymmetric fireballs are investigated in terms of the fireball mass M*, related to the Feynman-Yang scaling. Assuming 〈n−〉∼M* and making use of results of the previous analysis on pp and p¯p data, it is found that only one parameter is needed for both π+p and K+p reactions and another one for γp, e−p, and μ−p reactions. An attempt is made to analyze π production by e+e− in analogy with the analysis of p¯p annihilation in a previous work.
