Ambrosini, G. et al. (1998) KIπ production ratios from 450 GeV/c protons on beryllium. Physics Letters B, 420(1-2), pp. 225-232. (doi: 10.1016/S0370-2693(97)01572-4)

Abstract

This paper reports on the charged <i>KI</i>π production ratios and on the shape of the pT distributions of π fluxes measured by the SPY/NA56 experiment for 450 GeV/c proton interactions on beryllium targets. The present data cover a secondary momentum range from 7 GeV/c to 135 GeV/c in the forward direction and with p_T values up to 600 MeV/c. An experimental accuracy of about 3% has been achieved. These results will reduce the uncertainty on the estimation of the ν_e component of neutrino beams.
