Abstract

The π± multiplicity distributions in 12C and 16O induced reactions in nuclear emulsion at 2 GeV/nucleon have been measured. The results are compared to a model in which we assume that only independent nucleon-nucleon scattering occurs. Such a model can explain the complete π± multiplicity spectra, only if we assume a very limited shadow effect, i.e. very few nucleons must be swept out of the nuclei during the time of overlap.
