2 Hadron yields for neutrino beams Different generators applied to MiniBooNE beam New measurements essential!

5 HARP measurement for KK beam KK: Disappearance experiment to confirm atmospheric oscillation Oscillation probability at 5 km from the source for atmospheric parameters: maximum effect at ~1GeV Non-oscillated spectrum must be measured near the neutrino source oscillations: energy-dependent suppression of the spectrum 5
6 Far-Near flux ratio beam 5km far near For a point-like source the flux, in the absence of oscillations scales like 1/R (E )far = R(E ) (E )near If the near detector does not see a point-like source it is necessary to multiply by a factor R(E ) to obtain the predicted spectrum in the far detector. flux: 99% from + decay The determination of R(E ) is essential since the signal is a distortion of the energy spectrum (a wrongly determined R(E ) could distort oscillations) Oscillation peak R(E )

30 Outlook HARP after analysis for KK and MiniBooNE beams: tantalum at large angles for the neutrino factory carbon (forward spectrometer) for atmospheric neutrinos thick targets to understand better reinteractions many more targets, momenta (e.g. Cryogenic targets) MIPP at FNAL large energy range: will go to higher energies possibility to use NA49 at CERN SPS TK beam atmospheric neutrinos and muons 3
31 MIPP: FNAL-E97 Approved November 1 Technical run 4 Physics data taking 5 Uses 1GeV Main Injector Primary protons to produce secondary beams of K p from 5 GeV/c to 1 GeV/c to measure particle production cross sections of various nuclei including hydrogen. Using a TPC they measure momenta of ~all charged particles produced in the interaction and identify the charged particles in the final state using a combination of de/dx, ToF, differential Cherenkov and RICH technologies. Open Geometry- Lower systematics. TPC gives high statistics. 31
32 MIPP Physics Interest Particle Physics-To acquire unbiased high statistics data with complete particle id coverage for hadron interactions. Study non-perturbative QCD hadron dynamics, scaling laws of particle production Investigate light meson spectroscopy, pentaquarks?, glueballs Investigate strangeness production in nuclei- RHIC connection Nuclear scaling Propagation of flavor through nuclei Atmospheric neutrinos Cross sections of protons and pions on Nitrogen from 5 GeV- 1 GeV Improve shower models in MARS, Geant4 Make measurements of production of pions for neutrino factory/muon collider targets Proton Radiography Stockpile Stewardship- National Security MINOS target measurements pion production measurements to control the near/far systematics Nuclear Physics Service Measurements Upgrade programme: Speed up TPC DAQ by using ALICE ALTRO/PASA chips. green light to acquire these chips from CERN ($8K).

35 MIPP Timeline Run till next shutdown in current mode Acquire Altro/PASA chips Design New TPC Sticks Get approval for proposal: Run will be aproved when results from existing data shown Get new collaborators Run in 6 (end of 6) in upgraded mode with current beam. Design lower momentum beam. Beam Cherenkovs may need redesign (too much multiple scattering) Lots of graduate student theses Possible to affect shower simulators on 7 time frame. 35
36 TK far-near ratio.5 p OA deg. MARS FLUKA ND 8m SK 95km = [Far/near ratio] From MC simulation The Difference of Far/near ratio is ~1.9±.4% Eν [GeV] Double ratio (FLUKA/MARS) (Energy range:.4>1.[gev]) needed p-c data at 4 GeV/c Eν[GeV] 36
37 An existing facility: NA49 particle ID in the TPC is augmented by TOFs rate somehow limited (optimized for VERY high multiplicity events). order 16 event per week is achievable (electronic upgrade needed!) NA49 is located on the H fixed-target station on the CERN SPS. secondary beams of identified, K, p; 4 to 35 GeV/c momentum Measurements relevant for atmospheric neutrinos and NuMI have been performed in with two beam settings (1 and 158 GeV/c) with a 1% Carbon target New collaboration forming around hadron/heavy ion physics, and yields for atmospheric muons/neutrinos and neutrino beams 37
38 Summary (HARP) The HARP thin target analysis for Al (KK) and preliminary data for Be (MiniBooNE) have been shown. These will significantly improve the knowledge of these beams The result is in general compatible with and more precise than, older data available in Be and Al. Further results (Thick target, +/ -, K/, A and E dependence, Carbon) will appear over the next 6-1 months. Our goal is to make a major contribution to the understanding of neutrino fluxes for accelerator neutrinos as well as atmospheric fluxes. Preliminary +/ - yields in the large angle region have been obtained for Ta. The Ta analysis will be completed over the next few months. Other targets and energies will be analyzed at large angle. Our goal is to make a major contribution to the design of the Neutrino Factory. The elastic analysis provides a clean way to calibrate the momentum scale of the detector and to assess the impact of distortions. 38
39 Conclusions Neutrino oscillation experiments move from discovery to precision measurements Knowledge of neutrino cross-section and neutrino production is essential Hadron production measurements should be seen as integral part of the Neutrino Experiments Present trends (see HARP & MIPP) are Full-acceptance detectors (single arm spectrometers in the past) High statistics Characterization of the actual neutrino beam targets to reduce MC extrapolation to the minimum Direct interest of neutrino experiments in hadron production atmospheric neutrino predictions need similar measurements 39
