Particle production in proton-induced reactions at 14.6 GeV/c on Be, Al, Cu, and Au targets has been systematically studied using the E-802 spectrometer at the BNL-Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. Particles are measured in the angular range from 5° to 58° and identified up to momenta of 5, 3.5, and 8 GeV/c for pions, kaons, and protons, respectively. Mechanisms for particle production are discussed in comparison with heavy-ion-induced reactions at the same incident energy per nucleon.

The inclusive cross sections, measured up to large values of effective mass (≡q22ν), are well fitted by dσd3p=Bxexp(−αxp22mx). Values of Bx and αx are given for Be, C, Cu, and Ta at the incident proton energy of 600 MeV and for Ag, Ta, and Pt at 800 MeV. Extremely large dp and tp ratios and large A and q2 dependences of the relative cross sections are observed.
D3(SIG)/D3(P) is fitted by the equation: CONST*exp(-SLOPE*P**2/(2*M)). CONST is presented per nucleon.

We have studied high-energy proton scattering on Be, C, Cu and Pb targets using a single-arm spectrometer. The projectile momenta were 19 and 24 GeV/ c , the square of the four-momentum transfer varied from t = 0.1 to t = 4.4 GeV 2 . We have recorded momentum distributions of scattered protons in the high-momentum range. An application of multiple-scattering theory yielded agreement of calculation and experimental results to within a ± 30% uncertainty of the former.
