Cross-sections of large-angle hadron production in proton- and pion-nucleus interactions IV: Copper nuclei and beam momenta from +/-3 GeV/c to +/-15 GeV/c

Understand

We report on double-differential inclusive cross-sections of the production of secondary protons, charged pions, and deuterons, in the interactions with a 5% nuclear interaction length thick stationary copper target, of proton and pion beams with momentum from +/-3 GeV/c to +/-15 GeV/c.

• Results are given for secondary particles with production angles between 20 and 125 degrees.
