In the present study on proton–Beryllium collisions at two distinctly different energies obtained by one FERMILAB Collaboration, we attempt to focus on the unsettled controversy between the exponential models versus power law models, both of which are found to be in wide applications. The study concludes that none of them could be abandoned finally. And the resolution of the debate, the authors argue, might rest, not on the acceptance of just any one of them, but on a suitable combination of both of them, acting in the different domains of the transverse momentum values.
