Single-particle distribution in hadron-nucleus scattering and the partition-temperature model.

The partition-temperature model gives a good description of the single-particle pseudorapidity distribution in hadron-nucleus scattering. The parameters of the model can be summarized in simple phenomenological rules, one of which is that the effective target mass is approximately ..nu.. nucleon masses, where ..nu.. = A-italicsigma/sub h-italic//sub h-italic//sigma/sub hA/ is the ''number of collisions.''
