title: NA49_2009_I818217

Inclusive production of protons, anti-protons and neutrons in p+p collisions at 158 GeV/c beam momentum

Experiment: NA49 (SPS)

Inspire ID: 818217

Status: UNVALIDATED

Authors: - Viktar Kireyeu

References: - https://link.springer.com/article/10.1140/epjc/s10052-009-1172-2

Beams: p+ p+

Beam energies: (8.7, 8.7)GeV

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

Production of $p$, $\bar{p}$ and neutrons 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.
