Abstract

The inelasticity of hadron-carbon collisions for energies exceeding 100 TeV is estimated from the carbon-emulsion chamber data at Pamirs to be $ = 0.65± 0.08$. When combined with data on hadron-lead collisions taken at the same energy range it results in the $K∼ A^{0.086}$ mass number dependence of inelasticity. The evaluated partial inelasticity for secondary ($ν > 1$) interactions, $K_{ν >1} ≃ 0.2$, suggests that most of the energy is lost in the first interaction.
