We demonstrate the scaling of the single-particle momentum distribution as a general property of all the multiperipheral models which have been proposed. We also show that in these models, pionization is approached as a smooth limit from scaling. The proof is based only on the most general multiperipheral assumption and on Pomeranchuk-pole dominance at high energies. Thus the experimental observation of scaling is required for the validity of any multiperipheral model. © 1971 The American Physical Society.

The integral equation approach to the multi-Regge peripheral model is applied to give the missing-mass spectrum with Regge behavior in s and M2. A simple factorizable model for the double Regge coupling then gives the magnitude and t dependence of the cross section. This model is found to be in reasonable agreement with the backward -+pp+X- data. © 1970 The American Physical Society.

The nonforward multiperipheral integral equation for the Reggeon-particle absorptive amplitude is generalized to include complete dependence on the Toller-angle variable. © 1970 The American Physical Society.
