First physics results from the HARP experiment at CERN

چکیده
The first physics results of the HARP experiment are presented. We emphasize the high performance of the forward part of the apparatus. The differential raw pion yield and its efficiency correction up to polar angles of 250 mrad are shown. The analysed setting is 12.9 GeV /c incident protons in a 5% interacion legth aluminium target.

Initial results on particle yields obtained by the HARP experiment are presented. The measurements correspond to proton–nucleus collisions at beam energies of 12.9 GeV /c and for a thin Al target of 5% interacion legth. The angular range considered is between 10 and 250 mrad. This results are the first step in the upcoming measurement of the forward production cross-section for the same target ...
متن کاملNew Hadroproduction results from the HARP / PS 214 experiment at CERN PS
The HARP experiment at the CERN Proton Synchroton has collected data for hadroproduction measurements with a large set of targets, ranging from hydrogen to lead, in the momentum range 3.0-15 GeV/c, covering an extended angular range (0.025 ≤ θ ≤ 2.15 rad) with a redundant particle identification. Obtained results may be used for the tuning of neutrino beamline simulations, going from convention...

متن کاملHARP: a hadron production experiment
Hadron production is a key ingredient in many aspects of neutrino physics. Precise prediction of atmospheric neutrino fluxes, characterization of accelerator neutrino beams, quantification of pion production and capture for neutrino factory designs, all of these would profit of highstatistics, high-precision hadron production measurements. In addition, such data is needed for the calibration of...
