Inclusive Λ0 production by 12-GeV protons on nuclear targets
Abstract
The invariant cross sections for inclusive Λ0 production by 12-GeV protons on nuclei have been measured for three nuclear targets, beryllium, copper, and tungsten. Data are obtained at three production angles of 3.5°, 6.5°, and 9.5° in the laboratory, which cover the kinematic range 0.2<=xF<=0.9 and 0.35<=pT<=1.7 GeV/c. The present results are compared with other work at higher energies in terms of the A dependence, Feynman scaling, the pT distribution, and triple-Regge behavior.
