Search for centauro like events at the cern proton-antiproton collider

Abstract A search for events having the characteristics of cosmic ray Centauros has been made in 540 GeV centre of mass proton-antiproton collisions, using information on charged particle multiplicities and transverse momenta from our central detector image chamber, together with energy deposition in our calorimeters. No such events were found in 48 000 low bias events.
