The HARP and NA61/SHINE hadroproduction experiments as well as their implications for neutrino physics are discussed. HARP measurements have already been used for predictions of neutrino beams in K2K and Mini-BooNE/SciBooNE experiments and are also being used to improve the atmospheric neutrino flux predictions and to help in the optimization of neutrino factory and super-beam designs. First measurements released recently by the NA61/SHINE experiment are of significant importance for a precise prediction of the J-PARC neutrino beam used for the T2K experiment. Both HARP and NA61/SHINE experiments provide also a large amount of input for validation and tuning of hadron production models in Monte-Carlo generators.Comment: proceedings of the XXV International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics, June 2012, Kyoto (Japan). arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1106.438

Parametrization of the nucleus-nucleus γ -ray production cross sections below 100 GeV/nucleon: Subthreshold pions and hard photons

"Subthreshold pions" and so-called "hard photons" are two important channels for producing less than 1 GeV γ-rays and e ± pairs from nuclear collisions with energy per nucleon below the π-meson production threshold. I use publicly available experimental data to parametrize these two channels' γ-ray and e ± production cross sections and extend the pion contribution to these particles spectra at higher energies using their corresponding spectra from pp interactions. These parametrizations are valid for collision energy Tp ≤ 100 A GeV and agree reasonably well with the available experimental data. The new parametrizations allow, for the first time, accurate studies of astrophysical γ-rays below 1 GeV.
