Results - 11 B production for C and Be target 11th October 2010T2 target preliminary calculations (NA61 Collaboration Meeting) - M. Calviani (EN/STI) 19 The fractional yield is enhanced by use of longer target At 158 AGeV primary beam energy, the gain is 15% with respect to 40 AGeV for a 40 cm target (for shorter targets, the dependence is almost constant)  given by the favorable A/Z ratio For the same target length, the gain with a Be target is roughly ~5- 20% than graphite in the same experimental conditions Excluding the contribution of   complete simulations underway

Results – 11 B carbon vs. beryllium targets 11th October 2010T2 target preliminary calculations (NA61 Collaboration Meeting) - M. Calviani (EN/STI) 20 ~5-15% larger yield for a Be target than a C one Higher fractional yield for longer target given by the higher ionization loss of higher Z particles Excluding the contribution of 

Results - Fractional yields of 11 B and 32 P 11th October 2010T2 target preliminary calculations (NA61 Collaboration Meeting) - M. Calviani (EN/STI) P relative production shows little dependence on target length Fractional yield almost constant Values might be affected by the lack of  in the simulation

Conclusions 11th October 2010T2 target preliminary calculations (NA61 Collaboration Meeting) - M. Calviani (EN/STI) 22  Evaluation of 11 B and 32 P particle yields were estimated with a mock up geometry of the T2 target  Pb beams of 158, 80 and 40 AGeV energy were considered  Different target lengths (4, 10, 20, 30 and 40 cm) and materials (C and Be) were used  Absolute and fractional yields were estimated taking into account the production around the mean value of the P/Z distribution (±2%)  Comments on performed simulations:  basing on the scoring at the end of the “target box” (no secondary beam line nor degrader considered)  maximum production from target   are excluded, but contribution significant: complete evaluation underway  further studies required Complete studies are underway to validate the present targets and the production from an optimized new one
