The DsTau project at CERN has been proposed to study tau-neutrino production aiming at providing important information for future tau-neutrino measurements. Precise measurement of the tau-neutrino cross section would enable a search for new physics effects in tau-neutrino charged current interactions. The dominant source of tau-neutrino is the sequential decay of Ds mesons produced by proton interactions, whose uncertainty dominates current uncertainty in the tau-neutrino cross section measurement. In this thesis work, the proton interaction length in the tungsten target is measured and the charm pair production in the p-A interactions is studied using the DsTau 2018 pilot run data.
