Measurements of the double-differential proton production cross-section in the range of momentum 0.5 GeV/c < p < 8.0 GeV/c and angle 0.05 rad < \theta < 0.25 rad in collisions of charged pions and protons on beryllium, carbon, aluminium, copper, tin, tantalum and lead are presented. The data were taken with the large acceptance HARP detector in the T9 beam line of the CERN Proton Synchrotron. Incident particles were identified by an elaborate system of beam detectors and impinged on a target of 5 % of a nuclear interaction length. The tracking and identification of the produced particles was performed using the forward spectrometer of the HARP experiment. Results are obtained for the double-differential cross-sections mainly at four incident beam momenta (3 GeV/c, 5 GeV/c, 8 GeV/c and 12 GeV/c). Measurements are compared with predictions of the GEANT4 and MARS Monte Carlo generators.
Differential cross section for proton production with a negative pion beam and Beryllium target in the angular range 0.050 to 0.100 radians. The errors are the square-root of the diagonal elements of the covariant matrix.

This paper presents the results on charged particle yields and production ratios as measured by the NA56/SPY experiment for 450 GeV/c proton interactions on beryllium targets. The data cover a seconda
Positive particle yield from the 100mm Be target. Data are corrected for the pion or proton flux coming from strange particle decays.
Negative particle yield from the 100mm Be target. Data are corrected for the pion or antiproton flux coming from strange particle decays.
Positive particle yield from the 100mm Be target. Data are NOT corrected for the pion or proton flux coming from strange particle decays.
