Comparison of the Multiperipheral Model with Inclusive Data inK+pandπ−pReactions

The predictions of the multiperipheral model are compared with inclusive data in $K^{+}p$ and ${\pi }^{-}p$ reactions. We compare with topological longitudinal-momentum distributions, double-differential distributions, multiplicity cross sections, $\frac{{\pi }^{+}}{{\pi }^{-}}$ ratio, asymmetry characteristics, isotropy in the c.m. system, and Regge behavior near the kinematical limit. The agreement is reasonably good. We discuss the relation of this work to earlier work on the multi-Regge model, to results of other models, and to the results obtained by other types of approaches to the inclusive analysis.
