Abstract

In the study of the reaction $e^+e^-\to K_{S}K_{L}$ at the VEPP-2M $e^+e^-$ collider with the SND detector the nuclear interaction length of $K_{L}$ meson in NaI(Tl) has been measured. Its value is found to be 30--50 cm in the $K_{L}$ momentum range 0.11--0.48 GeV/$c$. The results are compared with the values used in the simulation programs GEANT4 and UNIMOD.

    • Methology: I did a search of http://arxiv.org/find/hep-ex/1/abs:+codes/0/1/0/all/0/1?quer... for "codes" in hep-ex entries at arXiv.org and reported the first few papers which actually contained "codes". (It appears that stemming is in place, as some papers only had 'code'.)…
