Main Injector Particle Production Experiment (MIPP) at Fermilab

چکیده
The Main Injector Particle Production Experiment at Fermilab uses particle beams of charged pions, kaons, proton and anti-proton with beam momenta of 5 to 90 GeV/c and thin targets spanning the periodic table from (liquid) hydrogen to uranium to measure particle production cross sections in a full acceptance spectrometer with charged particle identification for particles from 0.1 to 120 GeV/c using Time Projection Chamber, Time of Flight, multicell Cherenkov, and Ring Imaging Cherenkov detectors and Calorimeter for neutrons. Particle production using 120 GeV/c protons from Main Injector on the MINOS target was also measured. We describe the physics motivation to perform such cross section measurements and highlight the impact of hadronic interaction data on neutrino physics. Recent results on forward neutron cross sections and analysis of MINOS target data are also presented.

The Main Injector Particle Physics Experiment (mipp Fnal E-907) at Fermilab -status and Plans
We describe the status of the Main Injector particle production Experiment (MIPP) at Fermilab which has to date acquired 18 million events of particle interactions using (5 GeV/c-120 GeV/c) π, K and p beams on various targets. We describe plans to upgrade the data acquisition speed of MIPP to make it run 100 times faster which will enable us to obtain particle production data of unprecdented qu...
متن کاملThe Fermilab MIPP Experiment
Interactions of energetic particles on target nuclei producing secondary particles from the Fermilab MIPP E907 experiment will be reviewed. Current simulation codes rely upon poorly measured results from the past. While current neutrino experiments, both atmospheric and accelerator based, rely upon MIPP and pion production measurements which are poorly known and dominate their errors. The goal ...

The DØ experiment studies proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron collider based at Fermilab. Reprocessing, managing and distributing the large amount of real data coming from the detector as well as generating sufficient Monte Carlo data are some of the challenges faced by the DØ collaboration. SAMGrid combines the SAM data handling system with the necessary job and information management...

متن کاملPhysics with the Main Injector
The Main Injector is a new rapid cycling accelerator at Fermilab which is a source of protons to be used in antiproton production to enhance the luminosity of the Tevatron Collider and to provide extracted beams for use in a range of xed target experiments. We discuss the current status of the accelerator and the physics which it enables. The physics ranges broadly over the standard model and b...
