Study of relativistic nucleus reactions induced by /sup 16/O beams of 9-13 GeV per nucleon at the CERN PS

Proposes to study the target fragmentation modes and\pi/sup +or-/, K ^{0}, Lambda , p and Lambda production in collisions of /sup 16/O with target nuclei ranging from /sup 40/Ca to /sup 206/Pb.

Sumario:Proposes to study the target fragmentation modes and\pi/sup +or-/, K ^{0}, Lambda , p and Lambda production in collisions of /sup 16/O with target nuclei ranging from /sup 40/Ca to /sup 206/Pb. The acceleration of /sup 16/O in the PS will be facilitated by a high charge state ion source installed at the Linac I. Experimental equipment will be the Plastic Ball spectrometer, currently employed at the Bevalac, LBL Berkeley, and the streamer chamber of the MPI-Munchen group, presently used at the SPS inside a CERN Vertex magnet. The experiments require the acceleration of 10/sup 7/ oxygen ions per PS cycle and two splits in the East Hall external beam system delivering about 10/sup 5/ ions/s to the streamer chamber and the main part of the intensity to the Plastic Ball.
