Abstract
The dependence of the average charged multiplicity, 〈nX〉, of the system X on |t| and M2X is studied for the reactions p(π+)n→pfast(p+fast) + X and p(π+)n→pslow + X at 195 GeV/c. For a fixed M2X, 〈nX〉 changes significantly among these reactions, yielding a systematic hierarchy of mean multiplicities. The results indicate that a proton emits on the average less charged particles than a pion and more than a neutron.
