Strong interactions preserve an approximate isospin symmetry between up (u) and down (d) quarks, part of the more general flavor symmetry. In case K meson production, if this were exact, it would result in equal numbers charged (K+ K−) neutral (K0 $${\overline{K}}^{0}$$ ) mesons produced collisions isospin-symmetric atomic nuclei. Here, we report results on relative abundance over production argon scandium nuclei at a center-of-mass energy 11.9 GeV per nucleon pair. We find that K+ K−...
Neutrons are an important source of energy reconstruction bias for oscillation experiments• MINERvA can detect neutrons efficiently [1]
Abstract This paper presents the energy dependence of multiplicity and net-electric charge fluctuations in p+p interactions at beam momenta 20, 31, 40, 80, 158 $$\text{ Ge }\hspace{-1.00006pt}\text{ V }\!/\!c$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mspace/> <mml:mtext>Ge</mml:mtext> <mml:mtext>V</mml:mtext> <mml:mo>/</mml:mo> <mml:mi>c</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> .
