Abstract

A search for the Centauro phenomenon has been made at s = 900 GeV using the UA5 detector at the SPS pp collider operated in a pulsed mode. Possible interpretations of the cosmic ray data are discussed leading to various analyses of our data which exploit the distinctive features of the Centauro events: high multiplicity, high p_T and absence of produced photons. No indication of Centauro production is observed. Upper limits on the production of Centauros at the level of a few per thousand inelastic events are obtained.
