The standard (Bose-Einstein/Fermi-Dirac, or Maxwell-Boltzmann) distribution from the relativistic ideal gas model is used to study the transverse momentum (pT) spectra of identified charged hadrons (π-, π+, K-, K+, p¯, and p ) with different rapidities produced in inelastic proton-proton (pp) collisions at a Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS). The experimental data measured using the NA61/SHINE Collaboration at the center-of-mass (c.m.) energies s=6.3, 7.7, 8.8, 12.3, and 17.3 GeV are fitted well with the distribution. It is shown that the effective temperature (Teff or T ), kinetic freeze-out temperature (T0), and initial temperature (Ti) decrease with the increase in rapidity and increase with the increase in c.m. energy. The kinetic freeze-out volume ( V ) extracted from the π-, π+, K-, K+, and p¯ spectra decreases with the rapidity and increase with the c.m. energy. The opposite tendency of V , extracted from the p spectra, is observed to be increasing with the rapidity and decreasing with the c.m. energy due to the effect of leading protons.
