Measurement of Central Exclusive Production of charged hadron pairs h+h- (h=pi,K,p) at sqrt(s)=200 GeV with forward proton tagging in Roman Pots
Experiment: STAR (RHIC)
Inspire ID: 1792394
Status: VALIDATED
Authors:
  • Rafal Sikora

    No run details listed

The differential fiducial cross sections are measured for the process of CEP of h+h- pairs (h=pi,K,p). For the details of analysis and definition of the fiducial region see the arXiv.
