Investigation of the Inclusive Spectra of Secondary Protons and Pions of Low Kinetic Energies and of Their Wide Pair Correlations in п~- A Interactions at 43 GeV/c

摘要

The inclusive invariant cross sections for protons produced at angles of θ = 90° and 60° and for positively and negatively charged pions produced at an angle of θ = 90° are presented for п~-Be, п~- Al, and п~-Cu interaction induced by 43-GeV/c incident п~- mesons. The shape of the inclusive spectra of secondary hadrons, the A dependence of their cross sections, and the correlation functions for pairs of likely charged secondary hadrons at large angles of their divergence are studied. The kinematical region explored in the present article corresponded to kinetic energies of T ≈ 0.16-0.70 GeV and T ≈ 0.20-0.76 GeV for secondary protons and secondary pions, respectively. The angles of divergence of hadrons forming a pair, ψ, satisfied the condition cosψ < -0.5.
