Abstract

The π yield in the momentum range 500–740 MeV/c produced by 800 MeV protons incident on targets of Be and C has been measured at laboratory production angles between 0° and 20°. The yield of 725 MeV/c π from Be and C at 0° is a factor of 6 greater than at 20°, for 600 MeV/c π the factor is 3. The yield from beryllium is typically 30% higher than from carbon.
