Rivet analyses

title: NA49_2006_I694016

Inclusive production of charged pions in p+p collisions at 158 GeV/c beam momentum

Experiment: NA49 (SPS)

Inspire ID: 694016

Status: UNVALIDATED

Authors: - Viktar Kireyeu

References: - https://link.springer.com/article/10.1140/epjc/s2005-02391-9

Beams: p+ p+

Beam energies: (8.7, 8.7)GeV

Run details: - $pp$ collisions at 17.3~GeV. Minimum bias events.

Charged pion production in fixed target, $p_{\mathrm{lab}} = $158 GeV/c. The elastic trigger is implemented by looking for elastic final states with only 2 particles, instead of attempting to reproduce the experimental trigger, which cannot be directly unfolded.
