Recent results from the NA35 Collaboration are presented for the reactions of 60 and 200 GeV/nucleon p and 16 O, and 200 GeV/nucleon 32 S with various targets ranging from S to Au. Midrapidity transverse energy distributions and forward energy flow, p⊥ spectra and rapidity distributions of hadrons are presented. Two-pion interferometry results are discussed. Neutral strange particle yields and p⊥ distributions are presented. Conclusions are drawn from the experimental results.

CHARGE NUMBER DEPENDENCE OF PI+ PRODUCTION FROM NUCLEI BY 200-MEV ELECTRON

Shoda, K. ; Toyama, S. ; Torikoshi, M. ; et al.

Photopion energy distributions have been measured on 7 Li , 28 Si , 51 V and 93 Nb at θ π = 90° with 200 MeV electron. The logarithmic plot of the distributions shows a break at around 10 MeV of the residual energy. This is not explained by the quasi-free π + production. The (e, π + ) cross sections at θ π = 90° deduced by integrating the energy distribution. The result can be approximated by σ 0 Z 2 3 , where σ 0 is 0.13 times the elementary cross section of H(e, π + ) at θ π = 90°. The quasi-free π + production calculated by the Fermi-gas model with Pauli exclusion principle approximately reproduces the relative dependence on the charge number but its absolute value is about ten times as large as the experimental result. The present result for the charged photopion cross section in the threshold region is in contrast to the case in the Δ-resonance region where the cross section of π + + π − photoproduction is expressed by A 2 3 times the elementary cross sections.

Electroproduction of Negative Pions on $^{15}$N Leading to the Ground State of $^{15}$O

Liesenfeld, A. ; Alberti, B. ; Eyl, D. ; et al.

Nucl.Phys.A 485 (1988) 580-588, 1988.

Inspire Record 270242 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.37039

An angular distribution of negative pions produced on 15 N, leading to the ground state of 15 O, has been measured via the (e, π − )-reaction at E e ≈ 170 MeV. Using virtual photon theory, single-differential cross sections are extracted from the measured double-differential cross sections. The measured data is in good agreement with theoretical calculations in the DWIA model. A clear signature of nuclear EO excitation is found in contrast to previous experiments in a similar reaction on 13 C.

Charged Particle Multiplicities and Interaction Cross-sections in High-energy Nuclear Collisions

The NA35 collaboration Bamberger, A. ; Bangert, D. ; Bartke, J. ; et al.

Phys.Lett.B 205 (1988) 583-589, 1988.

Inspire Record 262284 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.42035

Inelastic cross sections at 60 and 200 GeV/nucleon are determined in a streamer chamber for 16 O on several nuclear targets. Charged particle multiplicity distributions for inelastic and central collisions are studied and compared with theoretical predictions. The inelastic cross section exhibit a geometrical dependence on nuclear radii. The multiplicity data are governed by the collision geometry. They are consistent with a picture of superposition of independent nucleon-nucleus interactions.
