K$_{S}^{0}$ Production at the Main Injector Particle Production Experiment at Fermilab

ORAL

Abstract

The Main Injector Particle Production (MIPP) experiment at Fermilab is a full acceptance spectrometer to measure hadronic particle production using beams of $\pi^{\pm}$, $\rm{K^{\pm}}$, p and $\rm{\bar{p}}$ ranging in momentum from 5 to 120 GeV/c incident on Liquid-Hydrogen, Beryllium, Carbon, Bismuth, Uranium and NuMI targets. The experiment is capable of excellent charged particle identification using Time Projection Chamber (TPC), Time of Flight (ToF), multicell Cherenkov, RICH detector and Calorimeters. A technique to reconstruct K$_{S}^{0}$ has been developed and will be described. We present the result of inclusive cross-section measurement of K$_{S}^{0}$ from the interaction of 84 GeV/c protons with Liquid-Hydrogen target and 120 GeV/c protons with Carbon, Beryllium, Bismuth and Uranium targets.
