Abstract

Measurements of the invariant cross sections for the reaction p(400 GeV)+(Li6, Be,C,Al,Cu,Ta)(π±, K±)+X at laboratory angles from 70° to 160° are reported. Upper limits for p¯ production are given. Comparisons of the data are made using several scaling variables.

NUCLEAR REACTIONS Inclusive cross section; 400 GeV incident protons; Li6, Be, C, Al, Cu, Ta targets; production of π, K, and p¯; lab angles 70° to 160°.
