Pion Production by Protons on a Thin Beryllium Target at 6.4, 12.3, and 17.5 GeV/c Incident Proton Momenta

Abstract

An analysis of inclusive pion production in proton-beryllium collisions at 6.4, 12.3, and 17.5 GeV/c proton beam momentum has been performed. The data were taken by Experiment 910 at the Alternating Gradient Synchrotron at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. The differential ${\pi }^{+}$ and ${\pi }^{-}$ production cross sections ($d^2\sigma /dpd\Omega$) are measured up to 400 mRad in ${\theta }_{\pi }$ and up to 6 GeV/c in $p_{\pi }$. The measured cross section is fit with a Sanford-Wang parameterization.
