Measurements of $K^0_{\textrm{S}}$, $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ production in 120 GeV/$c$ p + C interactions
Measurements of $K^0_{\textrm{S}}$, $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ production in 120 GeV/$c$ p + C interactions
This paper presents multiplicity measurements of $K^0_{\textrm{S}}$, $\Lambda$, and $\bar{\Lambda}$ produced in 120 GeV/$c$ proton-carbon interactions. The measurements were made using data collected at the NA61/SHINE experiment during two different periods. Decays of these neutral hadrons impact the measured $\pi^+$, $\pi^-$, $p$ and $\bar{p}$ multiplicities in the 120 GeV/$c$ proton-carbon …
