We obtain, on the basis of general principles only, a quantitative formula for the distribution of pionization products in ultrahigh-energy scattering as a function of the longitudinal momentum. Field theory is then used as a model to show the existence of the pionization process, and it also serves as an example in which the formula is satisfied. A highly feasible storage-ring experiment is proposed to test this predicted distribution and hence the underlying principles.
