Hadron Production Measurements from interactions of 60 GeV/c $\pi^+$ with Carbon and Beryllium with NA61/SHINE
ORAL
Abstract
In 2016, NA61/SHINE, a fixed target experiment at the CERN SPS, recorded interactions of $\pi^+$ and protons with momenta of 60 and 120 GeV/$c$ with carbon, aluminum and beryllium targets. The first of these interactions to be analyzed are 60 GeV/$c$ $\pi^+$ with thin carbon and beryllium targets. Total production and inelastic cross sections as well as double differential multiplicities of produced hadrons are being measured. Three analyses will be described. A normalization analysis is used to determine the total production and total inelastic cross sections for each reaction. A dE/dx analysis is used to measure spectra of the produced charged hadrons: $\pi^+$, $\pi^-$, $K^+$, $K^-$ and protons. Finally, a V0 analysis is used to measure spectra of the produced neutral hadrons: $K^0_S$, $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$.
