Abstract

ProtoDUNE Single-Phase (ProtoDUNE-SP) is a 770-ton liquid argon time projection chamber that operated in a hadron test beam at the CERN Neutrino Platform in 2018. We present a measurement of the total inelastic cross section of charged kaons on argon as a function of kaon energy using 6 and <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><a:mrow><a:mn>7</a:mn><a:mtext> </a:mtext><a:mtext> </a:mtext><a:mi>GeV</a:mi><a:mo>/</a:mo><a:mi>c</a:mi></a:mrow></a:math> beam momentum settings. The flux-weighted average of the extracted inelastic cross section at each beam momentum setting was measured to be <c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><c:mrow><c:mn>380</c:mn><c:mo>±</c:mo><c:mn>26</c:mn><c:mtext> </c:mtext><c:mtext> </c:mtext><c:mi>mbarns</c:mi></c:mrow></c:math> for the <e:math xmlns:e="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><e:mrow><e:mn>6</e:mn><e:mtext> </e:mtext><e:mtext> </e:mtext><e:mi>GeV</e:mi><e:mo>/</e:mo><e:mi>c</e:mi></e:mrow></e:math> setting and <g:math xmlns:g="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><g:mrow><g:mn>379</g:mn><g:mo>±</g:mo><g:mn>35</g:mn><g:mtext> </g:mtext><g:mtext> </g:mtext><g:mi>mbarns</g:mi></g:mrow></g:math> for the <i:math xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><i:mrow><i:mn>7</i:mn><i:mtext> </i:mtext><i:mtext> </i:mtext><i:mi>GeV</i:mi><i:mo>/</i:mo><i:mi>c</i:mi></i:mrow></i:math> setting.
