Cross-sections of large-angle hadron production in proton-- and pion--nucleus interactions VIII: aluminium nuclei and beam momenta from {\pm}3 GeV/c to {\pm}15 GeV/c

We report on double-differential inclusive cross- sections of the production of secondary protons, charged pions, and deuterons, in the interactions with a 5% λint thick stationary aluminium target, of proton and pion beams with momentum from ± 3G eV/ c to ±15 GeV/c. Results are given for secondary particles with production angles 20 ◦ <θ <125 ◦ . Cross-sections on aluminium nuclei are compared with cross-sections on beryllium, carbon, copper, tin, tantalum and lead nuclei.
