PRELIMINARY RESULTS ON NUCLEAR INTERACTIONS OF K$sup +$-MESONS IN THE ENERGY REGION (240 TO 300) Mev

Journal Article · · Nuovo Cimento (Italy) Divided into Nuovo Cimento A and Nuovo Cimento B
OSTI ID:4295363

A total of 144 stars produced by K/sup+/ mesons was found during a track scan of 72 m of heavy meson track length in an emulsion stack exposed to the separated 300-Mev K/sup +/ beam at the Bevatron. A summary of the type of events found is shown. The measured mean free path in emulsion for nuclear interactions is 51 plus or minus 5 cm, and the fraction of charge exchange events among the total is 0.32. No event in which a charged pi meson was created was found. (W.D.M.)
