The results of the measurements of the double-differential production cross-sections of pions in p-C and $\pi^\pm$-C interactions using the forward spectrometer of the HARP experiment are presented. The incident particles are 12 GeV/c protons and charged pions directed onto a carbon target with a thickness of 5% of a nuclear interaction length. For p-C interactions the analysis is performed using 100035 reconstructed secondary tracks, while the corresponding numbers of tracks for $\pi^-$-C and $\pi^+$-C analyses are 106534 and 10122 respectively. Cross-section results are presented in the kinematic range 0.5 GeV/c $\leq p_{\pi} <$ 8 GeV/c and 30 mrad $\leq \theta_{\pi} <$ 240 mrad in the laboratory frame. The measured cross-sections have a direct impact on the precise calculation of atmospheric neutrino fluxes and on the improved reliability of extensive air shower simulations by reducing the uncertainties of hadronic interaction models in the low energy range.

PARTICLE MULTIPLICITIES AND MULTIPLICITY CORRELATIONS OBSERVED IN pi p COLLISIONS WITH HE NE NUCLEI IN A STREAMER CHAMBER

Allen, R.C. ; Kanofsky, A.S. ; Hasan, M.A. ;

Phys.Rev.C 27 (1983) 670-681, 1983.

Inspire Record 8194 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.38068

We have measured the multiplicities of particles emitted in collisions between π's and p's of 1.5 to 2.5 GeV/c momentum with He and Ne nuclei in a streamer chamber. The chamber gas served as the target as well as the detecting medium. Because of the low density and 4π solid angle of the detector, it was possible to detect nuclear fragments with energies less than 5 MeV, and to essentially count all the particles emitted in a collision. Event distributions as a function of track multiplicity were obtained as well as correlated event distributions. NUCLEAR REACTIONS He (proton or pion, fragments and pions), Ne (proton or pion, fragments and pions), E=1.5, 2.0, 2.5 BeV/c; streamer chamber gas used as target with fragment energies as low as 5 MeV. Measured multiplicities and correlations of produced particle types.

Comparison of inclusive inelastic scattering of pi+ and pi- from nuclei at 100-MeV

Rosenzweig, D.P. ; Amann, J.F. ; Boudrie, R.L. ; et al.

Phys.Rev.C 46 (1992) 1968-1973, 1992.

Inspire Record 348116 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.26086

Inclusive inelastic scattering spectra from C, Ca, Sn, and Pb were measured for 100-MeV pions at a number of angles. The observed ratios of the π− and π+ total inelastic cross sections for the different targets are explained in terms of a simple model which is based on the assumption that the scattered pion has interacted with only one nucleon. This model also accounts for the ratio between normal and charge-exchange scattering cross sections at 100 MeV.

Inclusive charged pion production in hadron nucleus interactions at 100-GeV/c and 320-GeV/c

Whitmore, J.J. ; Persi, F. ; Toothacker, W.S. ; et al.

Z.Phys.C 62 (1994) 199-227, 1994.

Inspire Record 378192 DOI 10.17182/hepdata.14207

An experiment has been performed with the Fermilab 30-inch bubble chamber and Downstream Particle Identifier to study inclusive charged pion production in the high energy interactions of π±,K+,p and$\bar p$ with thin foils of magnesium, silver and gold. The laboratory rapidity and transverse momentum distributions are presented separately for π+ and π− production. Comparisons are made with data from hadron-proton interactions and theA dependence of the cross sections in the different kinematic regions is discussed. We investigate the dependence of the cross sections on the number of observed protons ejected from the nucleus. By using our π−A data from two different beam energies, we study the energy dependence of these spectra. Comparisons are made with the VENUS string model Monte Carlo.
