Cross-sections of hadron production by 3-15 GeV/c beams of protons and charged pions
نویسنده
چکیده
Precise measurements of hadron production on nuclear targets are vital for the design of a future neutrino factory and important for the tuning of hadron generators such as Geant4. The hadron yield must be known as a function of the energy and the production angle of the secondary particles. We report on HARP-CDP measurements of double-differential inclusive cross-sections of pion, proton and deuteron production on beryllium, copper and tantalum targets, by beams of protons and charged pions in the momentum range between 3 and 15 GeV/c. Our studies show that cross-sections published by the "HARP Collaboration" are wrong by factors up to two.

Main Injector Particle Production Experiment (MIPP) at Fermilab
The Main Injector Particle Production Experiment at Fermilab uses particle beams of charged pions, kaons, proton and anti-proton with beam momenta of 5 to 90 GeV/c and thin targets spanning the periodic table from (liquid) hydrogen to uranium to measure particle production cross sections in a full acceptance spectrometer with charged particle identification for particles from 0.1 to 120 GeV/c u...

The exclusive production of charged pions, are reported in the proton-proton collisions, where the π+π- pair is emitted at the central rapidity, y, and the scattered protons stay intact (p) without detection. This measurement is performed with the CMS detector at the LHC, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 450 μb-1 collected at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. Th...

An overview of the recent NA61/SHINE results on determination of charged pion and kaon yields in proton-carbon reactions is presented. The results aim to improve predictions of the neutrino flux in the T2K experiment. The data were recorded during the first physics run of NA61 in 2007 where a proton beam of 31 GeV/c momentum scattered off a graphite target. Thin target, 4% of a nuclear interact...
متن کاملIdentified hadron spectra at large transverse momentum in p + p and d + Au collisions at √ s NN = 200 GeV
We present the transverse momentum (pT) spectra for identified charged pions, protons and anti-protons from p+p and d+Au collisions at √ sNN = 200 GeV. The spectra are measured around midrapidity (|y| < 0.5) over the range of 0.3 < pT < 10 GeV/c with particle identification from the ionization energy loss and its relativistic rise in the Time Projection Chamber and Time-of-Flight in STAR. The c...
متن کاملHadron-hadron and hadron-nuclei collisions at high energies
In the 1960’s-1980’s high quality secondary beams became available at proton synchrotrons of increasing energies (PS, AGS, IHEP, FNAL, SPS). The secondary charged hadron beams contained the six stable or quasi stable charged particles π, K, p, p. The main experimental lines of research were: i) total hadron–hadron (hh) cross section measurements at high energies (plab > 20 GeV/c); ii) elastic h...
