EHS_1988_I265504

Charged-particle production in $K^+ p$, $\pi^+ p$ and $pp$ interactions at $250 \text{GeV}/c$
Experiment: EHS (SPS)
Inspire ID: 265504
Status: VALIDATED
Authors:
  • Felix Riehn
References:
  • Z.Phys.C39 (1988), 311
Beams: p+ p+, 0 p+, 0 p+
Beam energies: (250.0, 0.0); (250.0, 0.0); (250.0, 0.0) GeV
Run details:
  • Inelastic interactions in CM frame, excluding slow protons in the lab. frame with p < 1.2 GeV/$c$

Measurement of charged particle production spectra in longitudinal and transverse momentum as well as rapidity by the EHS/NA22 collaboration at the SPS. Experiment was done with a fixed hydrogen target and beams of $p$, $\pi^+$ and $K^+$ with $250\,\text{GeV}/c$. Measured spectra are for positively charged hadrons $C^+$ and negative charge pions $\pi^-$. $C^+$ excludes slow protons with $p < 1.2\,\text{GeV}/c$ in the laboratory. Final spectra are in center-of-mass variables: $x_\mathrm{F}$, $y$ and $p_\mathrm{T}$.
