“…NA61/SHINE measured the yields and the production cross-sections for T2K experiment (31 GeV/c proton on graphite targets) using both thin and replica targets. SHINE reported uncertainties in the production and inelastic cross-sections of the order of O(2-8%) for p+C, p+Be and p+Al at 60 and 120 GeV/c (see e.g., [106]). Before the CERN LS2, it also performed additional measurements for NuMI and recently extended beyond LS2 to serve DUNE, Hyper-Kamiokande and, possibly, NP06/ENUBET.…”

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.

We report the analysis of data taken during a pilot run in 2018 to study the feasibility of nuclear fragmentation measurements with the NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN SPS. These nuclear reactions are important for the interpretation of secondary cosmic-ray nuclei production (Li, Be, and B) in the Galaxy. The pilot data were taken with 12 C projectiles at a beam momentum of 13.5 𝐴 GeV/𝑐 and two fixed targets, polyethylene (C 2 H 4 ) and graphite. The specific focus here is the measurement of total Boron ( 10 B and 11 B) production cross section in C+p interactions at 13.5 𝐴 GeV/𝑐. The cosmic-ray nucleus 11 C is termed a 'Ghost nucleus' on account of its short lifetime compared to the usual cosmic-ray diffusion time in the Galaxy and it ultimately decays to Boron as, 11 C → 11 B + 𝛽 + . Therefore, precise knowledge of the production cross section of 11 C is very relevant for the understanding of Boron production in the Galaxy. We present a preliminary measurement of the fragmentation cross section of C + p → 11 C, which, together with our previously reported B-production cross section, provides a new constraint on boron production in the Galaxy in the high-energy range relevant for modern space based cosmic-ray experiments like AMS-02.

“…Although these data are very valuable, they are insufficient for the precise neutrino flux predictions due to low precision and lack of error covariances. In more recent years, experiments like NA61/SHINE [4][5][6][7], HARP [8,9] or MIPP [10][11][12] took valuable data with the direct requests and input from the neutrino experiments. These data include cross-section and hadron production measurement for various targets and beam momenta.…”

The next generation of long-baseline neutrino experiments will be capable of precision measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters, precision neutrino-nucleus scattering, and unprecedented sensitivity to physics beyond the Standard Model. Reduced uncertainties in neutrino fluxes are necessary to achieve high precision and sensitivity in these future precise neutrino measurements. New measurements of hadron-nucleus interaction cross sections are needed to reduce uncertainties of neutrino fluxes. We report measurements of the differential cross section as a function of scattering angle for proton-carbon interactions with a single charged particle in the final state at beam momenta of 20, 30, and 120 GeV/c. These measurements are the result of a beam test for EMPHATIC, a hadron-scattering and hadron-production experiment. The total, elastic and inelastic cross-sections are also extracted from the data and compared to previous measurements. These results can be used in current and future long-baseline neutrino experiments, and demonstrate the feasibility of future measurements by an upgraded EMPHATIC spectrometer.
