Hadron Production Measurements Hadron Production Measurements @ CERN@ CERN
M.G.Catanesi /INFN Bari ItalyTeV PA II Workshop
Madison 28-31 August 2006
OutlineOutline
• Motivations and a little bit of history ….
• Present measurements: Harp results• K2K & MiniBoone fluxes• Super Beams & Neutrino Factory Design• Atmospheric fluxes ( < 15 GeV)
• Possible future extensions• Na49 : Atmospheric (< 200 GeV) & T2K neutrino Flux• Totem : Total X-section @ 14 TeV
Why hadron productions ?Why hadron productions ?
• The task to make a reliable prediction of the neutrino flux at the experiment is difficult.• You need a precise knowledge of the relative population of the
different kind of particles and energy spectrum . • To avoid one of the main source of systematic error the
neutrino experiments community was always committed to measure in ancillary experiments the hadron production
(observed event rate) = (X-section) (neutrino flux) (detection efficiency)
The subject of this talk
Contains everything interesting: oscillation physics, exotic event rates etc.
Decay region25 m 50 m 450 m
Neutrino Beams: a “typical” example… MiniBooNE
• Energy, composition, geometry of the neutrino beam is determined by the development of the hadron interaction and cascade
• It’s hard to make this kind of measurements in situ. Normally MC generators are used for this scope
• Various models are known to have large differences in neutrino rate predictions
It is vital to calibrate neutrino production targets in a proton beam !

Example of future projectsExample of future projectsPrimary energy, target material and geometry, collection scheme• maximizing the π+, π - production rate /proton /GeV• knowing with high precision (<5%) the PT distributionCERN scenario: 2.2 GeV/c proton linac.
Phase rotation• longitudinally freezethe beam: slow down earlier particles, accelerate later ones• need good knowledge also of PL distribution
Atmospheric neutrino Atmospheric neutrino fluxesfluxes: motivations for : motivations for measurementsmeasurements
Initial reaction – well above the highest energy accelerator available.
Shower develops – a large number of lower energy interactions –accelerator measurements are helpful.
• Energy region: from few GeV → 200 GeV (contained)→ 2 TeV (through going)
Accelerator measurements are very sparse.- Colliders: most particles close to beam and don’t enter the detector.- Fixed target: The energies are much lower and few experiments have published. - No data available on O2 & N2

• Motivations and scope
• Experiment’s uncertainties
NA20 (Atherton et al.) @ CERNNA20 (Atherton et al.) @ CERN--SPSSPS• Secondary energy scan:
60,120,200,300 GeV
• H2 beam line in the SPS north-area
Overall quoted errors Absolute rates: ~15%Ratios: ~5%
These figures are typical of this kind of detector setup
PresentPresent• Aim at event-by-event experiments, not particle-by-particle• Modern design
• Open-geometry spectrometers• Full solid angle and P.Id.• Design inherited from Heavy Ions experiments
(multiplicity, correlations, pion interferometry, …)• Full momentum acceptance, scan on incident proton momenta
(not only on momentum of secondaries)• High event rate
• Heavy ions experiments are designed for very high track density per event, not for high rate of relatively simple events
HarpHarp• Inaugurates a new era in Hadron Production
for Neutrino Physics:• Based on a design born for Heavy Ions physics
studies• Full acceptance with P.Id.• High event rate capability (3KHz on TPC)
• Built on purpose• Collaboration includes members of Neutrino
Oscillation & Cosmic rays experiments • And makes measurements on specific
targets of existing neutrino beams.
HARP physics motivationsHARP physics motivations
Input for prediction of neutrino fluxes for the MiniBooNE and K2K experiments
Pion/Kaon yield for the design of the proton driver and target system of Neutrino Factories and SPL- based Super-Beams
Input for precise calculation of the atmospheric neutrino flux (from yields of secondary p,K)
Input for Monte Carlo generators (GEANT4, e.g. for LHC or space applications)
HARPHARP’’s goalss goals• secondary hadron yields
• for different beam momenta• as a function of momentum and angle of daughter particles• for different daughter particles
• as close as possible to full acceptancethe aim is to provide measurements with few % overall precision
efficiencies must be kept under control, down to the level of 1%primarily trough the use of redundancy from one detector to another
• thin, thick and cryogenic targets• T9 secondary beam line on the CERN PS allows a 2 15 GeV
energy range• O(106) events per setting
• a setting is defined by a combination of target type and material, beam energy and polarity
• Fast readout• aim at ˜103 events/PS spill, one spill=400ms. Event rate ˜ 2.5KHz• corresponds to some 106 events/day• very demanding (unprecedented!) for the TPC.

Atmospheric neutrino fluxesAtmospheric neutrino fluxes• Primary flux is now considered
to be known to better than 10%• Most of the uncertainty comes
from the lack of data to construct and calibrate a reliable hadron interaction model.
• Model-dependent extrapolations from the limited set of data leads to about 30% uncertainty in atmospheric fluxes

AnAn existingexisting facilityfacility: NA49: NA49• particle ID in the TPC is augmented by TOFs• rate somehow limited (optimized for VERY high multiplicity events).
• order 106 event per week is achievable (electronic upgrade needed !)• NA49 is located on the H2 fixed-target station on the CERN SPS.
• secondary beams of identified π, K, p; 40 to 350 GeV/c momentum• Measurements relevant for atmospheric neutrinos have been performed in 2002
with two beam settings (100 and 158 GeV/c) with a 1% Carbon target (these data without TOF)

ConclusionsConclusions• Hadron production for Neutrino Experiments is a well
established field @ CERN since the ’70s• Present trends (Harp@cern & Mipp@FNAL)
• Full-acceptance, low systematic errors, high statistics• Search for smaller and smaller effects characterization
of actual neutrino beam targets to reduce MC extrapolation to the minimum
• Direct interest of neutrino experiments in hadron productionMany interesting results are coming !• Also in the future the hadron production will be an important
ingredient for a successfully neutrino experiment.• Thanks to NA49-Future and TOTEM also the CERN will
contribute to this effort
