“…Thus, the new measurements confirm the published 2007 results which were questioned in Ref. [57]. Both the statistical and the total systematic uncertainties are considerably smaller for the new 2009 results as shown for the angular interval [60,100] mrad for π + in Fig.…”

Measurements of hadron production in p + C interactions at 31 GeV/c are performed using the NA61/ SHINE spectrometer at the CERN SPS. The analysis is based on the full set of data collected in 2009 using a graphite target with a thickness of 4 % of a nuclear interaction length. Inelastic and production cross sections as well as spectra of π ± , K ± , p, K 0 S and Λ are measured with high precision. These measurements are essential for improved calculations of the initial neutrino fluxes in the T2K long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment in Japan. A comparison of the NA61/SHINE measurements with predictions of several hadroproduction models is presented.

The NA61 Experiment at CERN SPS is a large acceptance hadron spectrometer, aimed to studying of hadronhadron, hadron-nucleus, and nucleus-nucleus interactions in a fixed target environment. The present paper discusses the construction and performance of the Low Momentum Particle Detector (LMPD), a small time projection chamber unit which has been added to the NA61 setup in 2012. The LMPD considerably extends the detector acceptance towards the backward region, surrounding the target in hadron-nucleus interactions. The LMPD features simultaneous range and ionization measurements, which allows for particle identification and momentum measurement in the 0.1 -0.25 GeV/c momentum range for protons. The possibility of Z=1 particle identification in this range is directly demonstrated.

Over the past 60 years a rich sample of experimental results concerning the inclusive production of $$\pi ^-$$ π - mesons has been obtained spanning a range from about 3 GeV to 13 TeV in interaction energy. This paper attempts a model-independent overview of these results with the aim at obtaining an internally consistent data description on a dense grid over the three inclusive variables transverse momentum, rapidity or Feynman $$x_F$$ x F and interaction energy. The study concentrates on the non-perturbative sector of the strong interaction by limiting the transverse momenta to $$p_T<$$ p T < 1.3 GeV/c. The three-dimensional interpolation which is mandatory and necessary for this aim is shown to provide a controlled systematic precision of better than 5%. This accuracy allows for a critical inspection of each of the 40 experiments concerned in turn. It also allows precision tests of some of the physics concepts developed around inclusive processes like energy scaling, “thermal” production and the evolution of transverse momenta.
