Abstract: | The results of data handling for the E-184 experiment involving the irradiation of the active target, consisting of carbon,
silicon, and lead plates by a 70-GeV proton beam are presented. When the two-prong neutral charmed meson decay signal was
selected and the cross section for charm production at a near-threshold energy was estimated (σ(c
$
\bar c
$
\bar c
) = 7.1 ± 2.4(stat.) ± 1.4(syst.) μb/nucleon), some properties of D
0 and $
\bar D^0
$
\bar D^0
were investigated. These include the atomic-weight dependence of the cross section on the target mass number (its A dependence); the differential cross sections dσ/dp
t
2 and dσ/dx
F; and the dependence of the parameter α on x
F, p
t
2, and p
lab. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of the FRITIOF7.02 program. |
