Abstract: (Elsevier)
Inclusive two-particle production in the reaction pp → γ + ch + (anything) has been measured at the CERN ISR for four energies ( ✓s = 23,30.5,45, and 53 GeV ) at two production angles of the charged particles (ch) and the eight production angles of the γ-rays. The rapidity correlation of the two particles is weak and of short range. The peak correlation is σ inel ( d 2 σ γ ch d σ γ d σ ch ) − 1 = 0.62 ± 0.08 , the correlation range 〈 y γ − y ch 〉 = 1.17 ± 0.05, independently of s . The φ correlation extends over a wide gap in rapidity; its strength is increasing with increasing transverse momentum.
