Abstract

We report on double-differential inclusive cross-sections of the production of secondary protons and charged pions, in the interactions with a 5% λ _abs thick stationary beryllium 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 20° <θ<125°.
