| Abstract | A discussion is given on crucial tests for the Hagedorn and the Boltzmann distributions for P/sub T/. Applications to the high energy pi /sup -/p and pp experiments of Wisconsin and Berkeley justify the use of the Hagedorn distribution and rules out the Boltzmann distribution. Neither one is adequate for the secondaries of the pp annihilation experiments of Argonne and CERN. A thermodynamical model based on the Bose distribution satisfying the 'scaling' law will be discussed. (17 refs). |
