“…Assuming independence of all systematic error sources, the total systematic uncertainty was calculated as the square root of the sum of squares of the described components. Production of positive and negative pions, kaons and protons in p + p interactions at 158 GeV/c was measured before by the NA49 experiment [11][12][13]. Comparison of NA61/SHINE and NA49 rapidity distributions is presented in Fig.…”

“…Results on identified hadron spectra, fluctuations and correlations are mostly missing. Detailed measurements of hadron spectra in a large acceptance in the beam momentum range covered by the data in this paper exist only from the NA49 experiment for inelastic p + p interactions at 158 GeV/c [11][12][13]. Thus new high precision measurements of hadron production properties in p + p and p + A interactions are essential.…”

Measurements of inclusive spectra and mean multiplicities of π ± , K ± , p andp produced in inelastic p + p interactions at incident projectile momenta of 20,31,40, 80 and 158 GeV/c ( √ s = 6.3, 7.7, 8.8, 12.3 and 17.3 GeV, respectively) were performed at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron using the large acceptance NA61/SHINE hadron spectrometer. Spectra are presented as function of rapidity and transverse momentum and are compared to predictions of current models. The measurements serve as the baseline in the NA61/SHINE study of the properties of the onset of deconfinement and search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter.

We present experimental results on inclusive spectra and mean multiplicities of negatively charged pions produced in inelastic p+p interactions at incident projectile momenta of 20,31,40, 80 and 158 GeV/c ( √ s = 6.3, 7.7, 8.8, 12.3 and 17.3 GeV, respectively). The measurements were performed using the large acceptance NA61/SHINE hadron spectrometer at the CERN super proton synchrotron. Two-dimensional spectra are determined in terms of rapidity and transverse momentum. Their properties such as the width of rapidity distributions and the inverse slope parameter of transverse mass spectra are extracted and their collision energy dependences are presented. The results on inelastic p+p interactions are compared with the corresponding data on central Pb+Pb collisions measured by the NA49 experiment at the CERN SPS. The results presented in this paper are part of the NA61/SHINE ion program devoted to the study of the properties of the onset of deconfinement and search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter. They are required for interpretation of results on nucleus-nucleus and proton-nucleus collisions.

“…The pp data offer a high statistics test sample as the number of collected events is 10 times larger than in the case of the pC run. NA49 official results on kaon production cross sections in pp have just been made available in [129] and are under journal referee review. pp is desirable and can be checked at least for pions that are abundant also in the pC sample.…”

Sterile neutrino oscillations in MINOS and hadron production in pC collisions

MINOS is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, starting with a muon-neutrino beam, for the precise measurement of the atmospheric neutrino oscillation parameters |∆m 2 | and θ 23 . The Near Detector measures the neutrino flux and spectra before oscillations. The beam propagates for 735 km to the Far Detector, which measures the depleted spectrum after oscillations. The depletion can be interpreted as ν µ → ν τ oscillations. Subdominant ν µ → ν e oscillations may be allowed if the mixing angle θ 13 = 0.The two detectors are functionally identical in order to cancel systematic errors when using the Near Detector data to constrain the Far Detector prediction. A crucial part of the analysis is the relative calibration between the two detectors, which is known at the 2% level. A calibration procedure to remove the time and temperature dependence of the detector response using through-going cosmic muons is presented here.Although the two-detector approach reduces the systematic uncertainties related to the neutrino flux, a cross check on the neutrino parent meson ratios is performed in this thesis. The cross sections of mesons produced in proton-carbon interactions from the NA49 experiment have been measured and the results have been compared to the MINOS expectations.A neutrino oscillation analysis allowing mixing to a sterile neutrino is performed, under the assumption that the additional mass splitting is O(1 eV 2 ). The analysis uses the energy spectrum of the neutral current interaction products, as neutral current interactions are sensitive to sterile neutrino mixing but not to the active flavour neutrino mixing. The neutrino oscillation parameters have been found to be: To my parents
