Event-by-Event Fluctuations of Transverse Momentum in Elementary Collisions at 250 GeV/$c$
We present a study of event-by-event fluctuations of transverse momentum in $π^{+}\p$ and $\K^{+}\p$ collisions at 250 GeV/$c$ and the corresponding PYTHIA Monte Carlo results for $π^{+}\p$ collisions. The dependence of $Φ_{p_{t}}$ on event and particle variables are investigated in detail. We find that $Φ_{p_t}$ are all negative for different average transverse momentum per event sample. The $ _N \sim N$ correlation may not be the only origin of $Φ_{p_{t}}$.
