Predicted proton spectrum at forward angles for 29.4-GeV nitrogen on carbon

Abstract

The proton spectrum over the angular interval of 0 to 10 mrad from the interactions of 29.4-GeV nitrogen on carbon has been calculated. The differential cross section for the emission of protons indicates that there is a significant number of emitted protons with energies greater than the energy per nucleon of the incident projectile (2.1 GeV). A description of the calculational method is included.[NUCLEAR REACTIONS $^{14}\mathrm{N}(^{12}\mathrm{C},p)$, $E=29.4$ GeV; calculated $\ensuremath{\sigma}({E}_{p})$, $\ensuremath{\theta}=0\ensuremath{-}10$ mrad.]
