Description

We have measured the cross-section for the K0S production from beryllium target using 120 GeV/c protons beam interactions at the main injector particle production (MIPP) experiment at Fermilab. The data were collected with target having a thickness of 0.94% of the nuclear interaction length. The K0S inclusive differential cross-section in bins of momenta is presented covering momentum range from 0.4 GeV/c to 30 GeV/c. The measured inclusive K0S production cross-section amounts to 39.54±1.46δstat±6.97δsyst mb and the value is compared with the prediction of FLUKA hadron production model. (author)
