We offer to your attention a preprint “Thermodynamic characteristics of particles produced in π⁻C interactions at 40 GeV/c as a function of the cumulative number and the van der Waals equation of state” E1-2022-22 published by the JINR Publishing Department. The authors are M. Sovd et al.

In this paper the authors have determined constants a and b of the van der Waals equation of state using the experimentally obtained critical parameters T_c, V_c, and P_c for π⁻ mesons and protons from π⁻C interactions. The P−V diagrams have also been analysed.

The investigation has been performed at the Veksler and Baldin Laboratory of High Energy Physics JINR.
