European Research Momentum

The European Research Council—A European Renaissance

S cience looks set for a fundamentalist revival within the European Union. Its leading proponents are taking advantage of unprecedented political upheaval—as ten new Member States accede to the Union—to press their case for funding of basic research that is driven solely and independently by investigators themselves in the pursuit of excellence. The broad thrust of their appeal calls for the se...

EUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH Charged Pion Production in p+C Collisions at 158 GeV/c Beam Momentum: Discussion

The new data on pion production in p+C interactions from the NA49 experiment at the CERN SPS are used for a detailed study of hadronization in the collision of protons with light nuclei. The comparison to the extensive set of data from p+p collisions obtained with the same detector allows for the separation and extraction of the projectile and target contributions to the pion yield both in long...
