As an international collaboration PISA (Proton Induced SpAllation) has initiated measurements of total and double differential cross-sections for products of spallation reactions at the proton accelerator COSY in Jülich (Germany) in order to study secondary particle production created in structural, window, and target materials by proton beams up to 2.5 GeV incident kinetic energy. In the framework of Spallation Neutron Sources and accelerator-driven systems, residual nuclei (H, He up to intermediate mass fragrments) production cross-sections are of great importance for estimation of damage in target and structural materials. Reliable and comprehensive experimental data, especially for p-energies beyond 1 GeV will serve as benchmarks for code development and validation. Data taken by Bragg curve spectroscopy and silicon detector telescopes for the reaction 1.9 GeV p+Ni(Au) will be discussed and kinetic energy spectra of light ions and intermediate mass fragments will be presented.
