We have measured the multiplicities of pions produced in the collisions of π mesons with neon nuclei at bombarding momenta of 10.5 and 200 GeV/c. The diffractive production of pions is clearly separable. If one excludes the diffractive part, the pion multiplicity obeys the same Koba-Nielsen-Olesen scaling as found previously for π−−p collisions. This fact would seem to indicate the validity of an energy-flux or collective-variable description of the production process. A surprisingly large number of energetic protons (> 1 GeV/c lab momentum) are found to be produced in π-Ne collisions.
Elastic and diffractive events removed.

MULTIPLICITIES OF PI0 WAS OBTANED FROM MULTIPLICITIES OF GAMMAS: MULT(PI0)=MULT(GAMMA)/2.
PI- NUCLEON= (PI- P + PI- N)/2.
PI- NUCLEON= (PI- P + PI- N)/2.
None
Axis error includes +- 6/6 contribution (THE NUMBER OF NEUTRAL STARS WAS CORRECTED FOR ACCIDENTAL STARS WITHOUT FORMER INTERACTIONS AND FOR STARS PRODUCED BY KL MESONS, THE LAMBDA AND KS PARTICLES YIELD BEING NEGLECTEDTHE MOMENTUM OF NEUTRON IN THE STAR WAS TAKEN OF ONE AND A HALF OF TOTAL MOMENTUM OF CHARGED PARTICLES IN THE STAR).

Incoherent nuclear interactions of 21 GeV/c protons and 50 GeV/cπ−-mesons in emulsions exposed in a strong (180 kG) magnetic field have been investigated. The following topics are covered: the multiplicity of various types of charges secondaries, general features of one-particle rapidity and transverse momentum distributions, energy partitions among secondaries, characteristics of the leading particles and relativistic recoil protons, correlation relations. The experimental data are compared with predictions of current models of nuclear production.
