Abstract

We have measured the mean charged multiplicity

{\bar{n}}_{c}

as a function of the transverse momentum

p_{⊥}

of a forward

π^{+}

meson for fixed missing mass MM in the reaction

p + p \to π^{+} + MM

using the multiparticle Argo spectrometer system. We observe an increase similar to that seen in

p + p \to p + MM

at the same incident energy.
