Cross-sections of large-angle hadron production in proton- and pion-nucleus interactions VIII: aluminium nuclei and beam momenta from ±3 GeV/c to ±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% lambda(int) thick stationary aluminium target, of proton and pion beams with momentum from +/- 3 GeV/c to +/- 15 GeV/c. Results are given for secondary particles with production angles 20 degrees < theta < 125 degrees. Cross-sections on aluminium nuclei are compared with cross-sections on beryllium, carbon, copper, tin, tantalum and lead nuclei.
