Abstract
The Kp experiments at 32.1 GeV/c and 33.8 GeV/c in the Mirabelle bubble chamber are reviewed and the resulting topological cross sections are compared to lower energy data with beam momenta between 4.2 and 16 GeV/c. Some quantities characterizing the multiplicity distributions are compiled for these data and their energy dependence is compared to results from pp experiments. Studying the scaling behavior of the Kp multiplicity distributions, “quasi scaling” is observed for data with pLab ≧ 8.25 GeV/c.
