Abstract: (Elsevier)
The p T spectra of soft mesons produced in high-energy collisions contain information on the transverse motion of quarks and antiquarks which form these mesons. Using these data, we study the transverse profile of the color flux tube in the context of the Schwinger's mechanism for particle production by representing the transverse profile in terms of an effective transverse scalar potential. We find that the classical turning point for the potential is of the order of 0.6 fm. However, the potential flattens out considerably beyond that point. Consequently, the wave function decays surprisingly slowly in the transverse direction as r − 3 2 and extends much beyond the radius of the flux tube.- talk: Stony Brook 1992/05/28
