Measurements of hadron production in 90 GeV/c proton-carbon interactions

This paper presents the multiplicity of neutral and charged hadrons produced in 90 GeV\(/c\) proton-carbon interactions from a dataset taken by the NA61/SHINE experiment in 2017. Particle identification via dE/dx was performed for the charged hadrons \(\pi^\pm\), \(K^\pm\), and \(p / \bar{p}\); the...

Description
Summary:This paper presents the multiplicity of neutral and charged hadrons produced in 90 GeV\(/c\) proton-carbon interactions from a dataset taken by the NA61/SHINE experiment in 2017. Particle identification via dE/dx was performed for the charged hadrons \(\pi^\pm\), \(K^\pm\), and \(p / \bar{p}\); the neutral hadrons \(K^0_S\), \(\Lambda\), and \(\bar{\Lambda}\) were identified via an invariant mass analysis of their decays to charged hadrons. Double-differential multiplicity results as a function of laboratory momentum and polar angle are presented for each particle species; these results provide vital constraints on the predicted neutrino beam flux for current and future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments.
