MINT - A Simple Model for Low Energy Hadronic Interactions

Abstract

The bulk of inelastic hadronic interactions is characterized by longitudinal phase space and exponentially damped transverse momentum spectra. A simple model with only a single adjustable parameter is presented, making it a very convenient tool for systematic studies, which gives a surprisingly good description of pA-collisions at 920 GeV beam energy.
