TL;DR: In this paper, double-differential inclusive cross-sections of the production of secondary protons, charged pions, and deuterons, in the interactions with a 5% nuclear interaction length thick stationary tantalum target, of proton and pion beams with momentum from +/-3 GeV/c to +/-15 GeV /c.
Abstract: We report on double-differential inclusive cross-sections of the production of secondary protons, charged pions, and deuterons, in the interactions with a 5% nuclear interaction length thick stationary tantalum target, of proton and pion beams with momentum from +/-3 GeV/c to +/-15 GeV/c. Results are given for secondary particles with production angles between 20 and 125 degrees. They are of particular relevance for the optimization of the design parameters of the proton driver of a neutrino factory.

TL;DR: The work of Rochester and Butler as discussed by the authors, published in 1948, and that of Butler, Rosser and Barker, published in 1950, has been continued. In particular, the interaction properties and the spectrum of the penetrating particles are considered.
Abstract: The work of Rochester and Butler, published in 1948, and that of Butler, Rosser and Barker, published in 1950, has been continued. In particular, the interaction properties and the spectrum of the penetrating particles are considered. The interaction length of the shower particles with momenta greater than 109 ev/C. is found to be 18 cm. lead (±20%).

TL;DR: In this paper, the nuclear interaction length of KL meson in NaI(Tl) has been measured and its value is found to be 30-50 cm in the KL momentum range 0.11-0.48 GeV/c.
Abstract: In the study of the reaction e+e−→ KSKL at the VEPP-2M e+e− collider with the SND detector the nuclear interaction length of KL meson in NaI(Tl) has been measured. Its value is found to be 30–50 cm in the KL momentum range 0.11–0.48 GeV/c. The results are compared with the values used in the simulation programs GEANT4 and UNIMOD.

TL;DR: In this article, differentially cross sections for negatively and positively charged pions are presented as a function of laboratory momentum in ten intervals of the laboratory polar angle up to 420 mrad.
Abstract: The NA61/SHINE experiment at CERN SPS measured charged pion spectra in p+C interactions at 31 GeV/c. These measurements are necessary to improve predictions of the neutrino flux for the T2K long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment in Japan. Presented analysis was based on the data collected during the first NA61/SHINE run in 2007 with an isotropic graphite target with a thickness of 4% of nuclear interaction length. Three different methods which were used in order to obtain π+ and π− spectra are introduced. Differential cross sections for negatively and positively charged pions are presented as a function of laboratory momentum in ten intervals of the laboratory polar angle up to 420 mrad.

TL;DR: In this paper, the statistical accuracy of nuclear interaction length estimation from the distribution of interaction points inside a segmented target, composed of alternating layers of absorbers and detectors, is studied.
Abstract: The statistical accuracy of nuclear interaction length estimation from the distribution of interaction points inside a segmented target, composed of alternating layers of absorbers and detectors, is studied. It is shown that for a given number of target segments the thickness of the absorber layers can be optimized allowing to achieve an almost limiting statistical accuracy of measurements.
