“…The threshold pressure curves for a typical Cherenkov counter used at the CERN experimental areas filled with CO 2 can be seen in Figure 8. A standard technique employed at the CERN North Area to identify all charged particles above 4 GeV/c makes use of two threshold Cherenkov counters, one filled with CO 2 and another one with R218 or R134a gases [129,130] and is described in ref. [131].…”

Neutrino oscillation physics has entered a new precision era, which poses major challenges to the level of control and diagnostics of the neutrino beams. In this paper, we review the design of high-precision beams, their current limitations, and the latest techniques envisaged to overcome such limits. We put emphasis on “monitored neutrino beams” and advanced diagnostics to determine the flux and flavor of the neutrinos produced at the source at the per-cent level. We also discuss ab-initio measurements of the neutrino energy–i.e., measurements performed without relying on the event reconstruction at the ν detector–to remove any flux induced bias in the determination of the cross sections.

“…The information of the XCET and TOF systems can be combined (time information and particle-tagging information) to provide a powerful tool for the diagnosis of the beam composition, as presented in section 5.3. More information on the XCET used in the Neutrino Platform can be found in [33].…”
