Large-angle production of charged pions by 3 GeV/c–12 GeV/c protons on carbon, copper and tin targets
Large-angle production of charged pions by 3 GeV/c–12 GeV/c protons on carbon, copper and tin targets
A measurement of the double-differential $\pi^{\pm}$ production cross-section in proton--carbon, proton--copper and proton--tin collisions in the range of pion momentum $100 \MeVc \leq p < 800 \MeVc$ and angle $0.35 \rad \le \theta <2.15 \rad$ is presented. The data were taken with the HARP detector in the T9 beam line …
