The study discusses high‑energy collisions, speculating that pionization processes are absent and that multiplicity depends on momentum transfer. The paper defines a hypothesis of limiting fragmentation for target and projectile in high‑energy lepton‑hadron or hadron‑hadron collisions and proposes experiments to test it. The authors compare the hypothesis with various existing models and concepts. The authors present arguments supporting the limiting fragmentation hypothesis.
A hypothesis of limiting fragmentation of the target and of the projectile in a high-energy lepton-hadron or hadron-hadron collision is defined. Arguments are given for the hypothesis. Comparisons with various models and concepts are made. Further speculations are made, including the absence of pionization processes in high-energy collisions and the dependence of multiplicity on the momentum transfer. Experiments are suggested.
