Abstract
A study of 205-GeV/c interactions has been made with a 48 800-picture exposure in the bare Fermilab 30-inch hydrogen bubble chamber. The average number of charged particles produced per inelastic interaction is 7.99±0.06. The elastic cross section is 3.18±0.13 mb and the total cross section is 24.19±0.44 mb. The inclusive cross sections for neutral-particle production are: mb, mb (), mb (), and mb (). The average number of produced per inelastic collision is consistent with a linear rise with the number of charged particles, and about equal to the number of produced or . The average number of , , and is consistent with very little dependence on the number of charged particles. General characteristics of neutral-particle production are presented and compared with other experiments. For each topology the produced neutral energy is of the incident energy.
