Abstract: (Springer)
Hadron production (π±\pi ^\pm , proton, Λ\Lambda , KS0K_S^0, K±K^\pm ) in π+C\pi ^- + \textrm{C} and π+W\pi ^- + \textrm{W} collisions is investigated at an incident pion beam momentum of 1.7 GeV/c1.7~\textrm{GeV}/c. This comprehensive set of data measured with HADES at SIS18/GSI significantly extends the existing world data on hadron production in pion induced reactions and provides a new reference for models that are commonly used for the interpretation of heavy-ion collisions. The measured inclusive differential production cross-sections are compared with state-of-the-art transport model (GiBUU, SMASH) calculations. The (semi-) exclusive channel π+AΛ+KS0+X\pi ^- + A \rightarrow \Lambda + K_S^0 +X, in which the kinematics of the strange hadrons are correlated, is also investigated and compared to a model calculation. Agreement and remaining tensions between data and the current version of the considered transport models are discussed.
