Abstract
Longitudinal profiles of pion and proton showers are measured, up to 20 nuclear interaction lengths at the energies of 20–180 GeV, Measurements have been performed in the iron-scintillation hadron Tile calorimeter of the ATLAS Project on the beams of the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at the European Organization of Nuclear Research (CERN). Comparative analysis of longitudinal profiles of pion and proton showers was made. The experimental data were parameterized and compared with the results of Monte-Carlo simulation.
