Pion kinetic energy, T, in GeV From: H. Kirk
dN/dT per GeV per interacting proton

16 GeV/c protons on tungsten
Collect from within this region
We aim to collect and deliver to the first phase rotation channel 0.6 pions of each sign per proton of 16 GeV/c.
In the region of low kinetic energy shown opposite this can be achieved by immersing the production target in a 20 T solenoid field of 75 mm radius. Pions of both signs having transverse momentum of up to 225 MeV/c are focused into the decay channel via the matching channel.
Note that the pion velocity varies from 0.68 to 0.98
