[en] New data on hadron-nucleus interactions are summarized, focusing on: estimation of the rate of energy loss of the incident hadron as it propagates through the target, and determining where the energy is depositied in central hadron-nucleus collisions. The present status of pA → p + X inclusive measurements is discussed. Measurements from visual detectors which allow investigation of global event properties are presented. Data taken from calorimeters, where one can trigger and measure transverse energy and energy flow over a given rapidity region, are discussed. 22 refs., 20 figs

[en] During two periods in 1986 and 1987, oxygen ion beams with energies up to 3.2 TeV will be available at the CERN-SPS. A brief review of the five large heavy ion experiments is presented and the different physics addressed by each of the experiments is discussed. 11 refs., 5 figs

[en] Recent results on jet production from the Axial Field Spectrometer Collaboration at the ISR are presented. Events with large transverse energy into a calorimeter with a full azimuthal coverage and absolute value y < 0.9 have been investigated at root s = 30, 45, and 63 GeV. A clear emergence of jets is observed at root s = 63 and 45 GeV in the region of 30 GeV transverse energy. The properties of the jets produced in the high E/sub T/ events have been investigated and found to be similar to those produced in e⁺e^- annihilation. The charge correlation of positive and negative particles show differences consistent with expectations from valence quark scattering

[en] The observation of Jets using large solid angle calorimeters at ISR energies will be discussed. The results on Inclusive Jet production cross-section √s = 45 and 63 GeV and their energy dependence are presented. The new data of the AFS and COR Collaborations showing dominance of jets in high Esub(T) triggers at ISR energies are compared with pp results at lower √s (SPS, FNAL) and at higher √s to results from the pantip collider

[en] Experiments being conducted with high energy heavy ion beams at Brookhaven National Laboratory and at CERN have shown the importance of developing position sensitive detectors capable of handling events with high multiplicity in environments of high track density as will also be the case in future high luminosity colliders like SSC and RHIC. In addition, these detectors are required to have a dynamic range wide enough to detect minimum ionizing particles and heavy ions like oxygen or silicon. We present here a description of work being done on a prototype of such a detector at BNL. Results from a similar counter are also presented in this Conference. The ''pad chamber'' is a detector with a cathode area subdivided into a very large number of pixel-like elements such that a charged particle traversing the detector at normal incidence leaves an induced charge on a few localized pads. The pads are interconnected by a resistive strip, and readout amplifiers are connected to the resistive strip at appropriate, carefully determined spacings. The pattern of tracks in a multi-hit event is easily recognized, and a centroid-finding readout system allows position determination to a small fraction of the basic cell size. 5 refs., 9 figs

[en] We suggest an experimentally detectable signal for K meson modification in hot hadronic matter, produced in high energy collisions. Our estimates show that even at the most dilute stages of matter evolution, at which pion density is as low as 0.1-0.2 fm^-3, this effect increases the Φ width Γ_Φ by the factor 2-3. High resolution measurements of the Φ width and/or the branching ratio to KK/e⁺e^- modes are sensitive to this effect. (orig.)
