Particle production in high energy collisions
Abstract
Description
A short historical review is made of charged particle production at high energy proton synchrotrons and at pp and {p}p colliders. The review concerns mainly low p_t processes, including diffraction processes, and fragmentation of nuclei in nucleus-nucleus collisions. A short recollection is made of the first studies of high p_t processes. Conclusions and perspectives follow.
