Abstract: (Elsevier)
Cross sections, multiplicities and particle inclusive spectra are presented for π - , K 0 and Λ produced in pn reactions at 11.6 GeV/ c beam momentum. The results are compared with the data from pp interactions in the same energy range. Correlations between two π - are also discussed. The main results are: the π - , K 0 and Λ all behave similarly as a function of transverse momentum squared; π - in the forward c.m. hemisphere have spectra in x and y consistent with that of pp interactions, whereas the spectra of π - in the backward hemisphere fall off more slowly with ∥ x ∥ and ∥ y ∥ than those in the forward hemisphere, suggesting n -fragmentation effects. The K 0 and Λ have x and y distribution roughly similar to those in pp interactions. The K 0 and Λ are consistent with a modified form of KNO scaling.
