TL;DR: In this paper, the angular distribution of the dipion axis relative to the collision axis is found to be independent of both the effective mass m and the centre-of-mass energy n of the proton-proton collision.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the abilities of various proposed accelerators to search for experimental signs of the composite nature of quarks and leptons, and compare their abilities to probe for indications of this structure.
Abstract: One of the major currents of physics in the twentieth century has been the unfolding of structure, the successive analyses of atoms, nuclei, and nucleons into constituent particles with more fundamental equations of motion. It is, then, natural to ask whether quarks and leptons can also be decomposed into simpler constituents. At one time, this idea could be viewed as a casual speculation. But in the past few years, the proliferation of quarks and leptons has become one of the central puzzles of particle physics, and the problem of computing the mass spectrum of quark and leptons has become one of its most difficult challenges. Models in which quarks and leptons are composite have provided a major approach to the resolution of these questions. It is thus important to search for experimental signs of the composite nature of quarks and leptons. In this section, we will compare the abilities of various proposed accelerators to probe for indications of this structure.
