$$\pi^- p$$ Interactions at 205-GeV/c: Cross-Sections and Charged Particle Multiplicity.

Journal Article · · Phys.Rev.Lett.
Results are reported based on a study of 3114 π-p events at 205 GeV/c in the National Accelerator Laboratory 30-in. bubble chamber. The measured π-p total and elastic cross sections are 24.0 ± 0.5 and 3.0 ± 0.3 mb, respectively. The elastic differential cross section has a slope of 9.0 ± 0.7 GeV-2 for 0.03≤-t≤0.6 GeV2. The average charged-particle multiplicity for the inelastic events is 8.02 ± 0.12.
