Hadronic charged multiplicity measurement between 12 and 31.3 GeV

Experiment: PLUTO (PETRA)

Inspire ID: 154270

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: - Peter Richardson

References: - Phys.Lett. 95B (1980) 313-317

Beams: e+ e-

Beam energies: (4.7, 4.7); (6.0, 6.0); (6.5, 6.5); (8.5, 8.5); (11.0, 11.0); (13.8, 13.8); (15.1, 15.1); (15.3, 15.3); (15.7, 15.7)GeV

Run details: - Hadronic e+ e- events generated below the Z pole.

The charged particle multiplicity distribution of hadronic $e^+e^-$ events as measured between 12 and 31.3 GeV using the PLUTO detector at PETRA. The decay products of weakly decaying strange hadrons, e.g. $K^0_s$ and $\Lambda^0$, are not included in the measurement.
