Pion production in the 40Ar + 40Ca reaction at 1.05 GeV/nucleon

Description

Pion-production cross sections have been measured for the reaction 40Ar + 40Ca → π+ + X at a laboratory energy of 1.05 GeV/nucleon. A maximum in the π+ cross section occurs at mid-rapidity, which is anomalous relative to p + p and p + nucleus reactions and compared to many other heavy-ion reactions. Calculations based on cascade and thermal models fail to fit the data
