Measurements of hadron production in π++C and π++

Abstract: Precise knowledge of hadron production rates in the generation of neutrino beams is necessary for accelerator-based neutrino experiments to achieve their physics goals. NA61/SHINE, a large-acceptance hadron spectrometer, has recorded hadron þ nucleus interactions relevant to ongoing and future longbaseline neutrino experiments at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. This paper presents three analyses of interactions of 60 GeV=c π þ with thin, fixed carbon and beryllium targets. Integrated production and inel… Show more

“…Positive pion interactions on thin carbon and beryllium targets were recently studied at NA61/SHINE [10]. This resulted in the first measurement of production cross section in π + + Be at 60 GeV/c incident beam energy and a broad study of charged and neutral hadron productionπ ± , K ± , p, K 0 s , Λ.…”

“…Two data taking campaigns were dedicated specifically to cosmic-ray research and will be discussed in more detail in the next two sections. In addition, NA61/SHINE performed a detailed measurement of particle production in p+C interactions at 31 GeV/c [2,3,4] and π + +C at 60 GeV/c [5] to determine the beam properties in accelerator-based neutrino experiments. Since carbon is a good proxy for interactions on nitrogen in air, the measured spectra in these reactions are also highly relevant for the modeling of low energy interaction in air showers [6,7].…”
