Inclusive strange-particle production in single-vee events in 200-GeV/cπ−N interactions

V0 production in p+A collisions at $\sqrt{s}=41.6$ GeV

“…The values of the inclusive doubly differential cross sections, d 2 σ/dx F dp 2 T for the full visible region are reported in Tables 6, 7 and 8 for all three target materials and illustrated in Fig. 2.…”

“…σ pA /dx F dp 2 T . Data were fitted in the acceptance region (−0.12 < x F < 0.0 and 0.0 < p 2 T < 2.5 GeV 2 /c 2 ).…”

“…The efficiencies are determined on a grid in x F and p 2 T with 6 equal bins in x F and 10 equal bins in p 2 T over the range given above, for a total of 60 bins. The grid-based acceptance correction has the advantage of minimizing any biases due to inaccuracies in the generated kinematic distributions.…”

“…Numerous studies have been made (see [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], and references therein) including fixed-target experiments at Center-of-Mass (CM) energies up to 40 GeV, mainly with bubble chambers, as well as at CERN's Intersecting Storage Ring in the 1970s and early 1980s (see [21][22][23][24]) and later at the SPS Collider [25]. More recently, studies of strangeness production at a CM energy of 200 GeV in both proton-proton and deuterongold collisions at RHIC have been published [26,27].…”

“…We present the doubly differential cross sections for K 0 S , Λ, andΛ production in proton collisions with carbon, titanium and tungsten targets at a CM energy of √ s = 41. as a function of the squared transverse momentum range (p T ) in the range (0 < p 2 T < 2.5 (GeV/c) 2 ) and Feynman-x (x F ) in the range (−0.12 < x F < 0.0). The cross sections and derived quantities are compared to predictions obtained from PYTHIA 6.3 [28] and the EPOS 1.67 event generator [29].…”
