Experimental results on the pion and neutron production by muons at 60 and 110 m w.e.

Экспериментальные реэультаты по рождению пионов и нейтронов мюонами при 60 и 110 м водного зквивалента

Summary

We present some results on the stopping-pion rate in liquid scintillator and on the evaporation neutrons produced in lead by the interactions of fast muons at the depths of 60 and 110 m w.e. These results are satisfactorily compared with the predictions on the muonnucleon inelastic scattering based on the vector dominance approach.

Riassunto

Abbiamo ottenuto alle profondità di 60 e 110 m a.e. alcuni risultati sulla frequenza dei pioni che si arrestano nello scintillatore liquido e sui neutroni di evaporazione prodotti in Pb nelle interazioni dei muoni di alta energia. Questi risultati vengono soddisfacentemente confrontati con le predizioni sullo scattering anelastico muone-nucleone basate sulla predominanza vettoriale.

Реэюме

Мы предлагаем некоторые реэультаты о скорости торможения пионов в жидком сцинтилляторе и о нейтронах, рожденных в свинце при вэаимодействиях мюонов на глубинах 60 и 110 м водного зквивалента. Эти реэультаты удовлетворительно согласуются с предскаэаниями мюон-нуклонного неупругого рассеяния, основанными на приближении векторного преобладания.
