3 GeV/c - 12.9 GeV/c质子在铍、铝和铅靶上大角度产生带电π介子

Large-angle production of charged pions by 3 GeV/c - 12.9 GeV/c protons on beryllium, aluminium and lead targets

HARP Collaboration

摘要:

本文测量了质子-铍、质子-铝和质子-铅碰撞中在动量$100 \MeVc \leq p < 800 \MeVc$和角度$0.35 \rad \leq θ< 2.15 \rad$范围内的双微分$π^{\pm}$产生截面。这些数据是用CERN PS的T9束线中的HARP探测器采集的。π介子是由质子束在3 \GeVc到12.9 \GeVc的动量范围内撞击厚度为核相互作用长度的5%的靶产生的。使用放置在螺线管磁体内的小半径圆柱形时间投影室(TPC)对产生的颗粒进行跟踪和识别。入射粒子被一个精密的光束探测器系统识别出来。在六个入射质子束动量(3 \GeVc,5 \GeVc,8 \GeVc,8.9 \GeVc(仅Be),12 \GeVc和12.9 \GeVc(仅Al))的双微分截面,并与以前可用的数据进行比较。

英文摘要:

Measurements of the double-differential $π^{\pm}$ production cross-section in the range of momentum $100 \MeVc \leq p < 800 \MeVc$ and angle $0.35 \rad \leq θ< 2.15 \rad$ in proton--beryllium, proton--aluminium and proton--lead collisions are presented. The data were taken with the HARP detector in the T9 beam line of the CERN PS. The pions were produced by proton beams in a momentum range from 3 \GeVc to 12.9 \GeVc hitting a target with a thickness of 5% of a nuclear interaction length. The tracking and identification of the produced particles was performed using a small-radius cylindrical time projection chamber (TPC) placed inside a solenoidal magnet. Incident particles were identified by an elaborate system of beam detectors. Results are obtained for the double-differential cross-sections at six incident proton beam momenta (3 \GeVc, 5 \GeVc, 8 \GeVc, 8.9 \GeVc (Be only), 12 \GeVc and 12.9 \GeVc (Al only)) and compared to previously available data.
