Abstract
Cascade theories appropriate to the various schemes of plural production of mesons suggested by Heitler and Janossy (and one by us) are developed. A set of master diffusion equations are set up which contain the various schemes as special cases. Their exact solution is given and detailed numerical results are presented for one of the schemes. These are presented in a form suitable for direct comparison with those obtained experimentally using photographic plate techniques. It is suggested, now that the detailed numerical results are available, that a recomparison be made between theory and experimental results previously obtained, in order to see whether the scheme considered does or does not agree with experimental observations. Results are presented in tabular form both for light and heavy elements and for mesons as well as protons.
