Abstract
This study determines topological cross sections and rescattering effects for 200-GeV/c interactions observed in a 60 000-picture exposure of the Fermilab 30-inch deuterium bubble chamber. We measure the inelastic cross section for to be 55.0±0.8 mb and find that (17.4±1.8)% of the events have a secondary interaction with the spectator proton. The rescattering is adequately described by a model which assumes the rescattering probability to be independent of the primary collision multiplicity. The multiplicity distribution for nonrescattered interactions has and .
