Measurement of total inelastic cross sections of proton and π+-meson interaction with nuclei in the momentum range from 1.35 to 3.75 GeV/c

Total cross sections of inelastic proton and π+-meson interactions with sup(6, 7)Li, 9Be, 12C, 27Al, 65Zn, 181Ta, 207Pb, 209Bi, 238U nuclei in the 1.35-3.75 GeV/c momentum range of incident particles are measured. Measurements were carried out with targets of different thickness. The results are tabulated and presented as diagrams. Absolute error of measurements makes up +-4%, relative one is +-2%. No irregularities in the energy dependence of cross section either on light or on heavy nuclei are observed within the limit of accuracy of conducted measurements. Cross section of nucleus interaction with a proton is approximately 10% larger than that of nucleus ifteraction with a pion. Measured cross sections are approximately 5% lower than those obtained by other authors under similar conditions
