Introduction - motivations -

Physics goal of HARP Systematic study of hadron production –Beam momentum: 1.5 – 15 GeV/c –Target materials: from hydrogen to lead Inputs for the prediction of neutrino fluxes for K2K and MiniBooNE experiments Inputs for the precise calculation of atmospheric neutrino flux Pion/Kaon yield for the design of proton driver and target system for neutrino factories and SPL- based super-beams Inputs for Monte Carlo generators (GEANT4, e.g. for LHC or space applications)

Downstream tracking efficiency ~98% Up-downstream matching efficiency ~75% Tracking efficiency  track is known at the level of 5% Green: type 1 Blue: type 2 Red: type 3 Black: sum of normalized efficiency for each type Total Tracking Efficiency P (GeV/c)  x (mrad) Total tracking efficiency

Total tracking efficiency as a function of p(left) and  x (right) computed using MC with 2 hadron generators properly  Both hadron models compatible (except for |  x | < 25 mrad) Need more study for this region.

Use K2K thin target (5% ) To study primary p-Al interaction To avoid absorption / secondary interactions 5% Al target (20mm) Raw data p > 0.2 GeV/c |  y | < 50 mrad 25 < |  x | < 200 mrad Pion yield: K2K thin target K2K replica (650mm) P(GeV/c)  x (mrad) p-e/  misidentification background

Pion yield After all correction 5% Al target p > 0.2 GeV/c |  y | < 50 mrad 25 < |  x | < 200 mrad Systematics are still to be evaluated: tracking efficiency known at 5% level expect small effect from PID P(GeV/c)  x (mrad)

Summary HARP experiment has collected data for hadron production –With wide range of beam momentum and targets Analysis for Forward region –Improvement in tracking efficiency ~75% Downstream the dipole magnet: tracking efficiency ~98% Matching through the magnet: ~75% (MC behaves well, only scale factor by data) Little dependence on hadron production models –PID performance is also robust HARP first results for K2K thin target are available

Outlook & To do K2K thin target for primary interaction –Compute deconvolution and migration matrix –Evaluate systematic uncertainties –Investigate super-forward region (|  x |<25 mrad) –Empty target study for background subtraction –Normalization for absolute cross section (using minimum biased trigger) Analysis of K2K replica target for far/near ratio calculation Similar analysis for MiniBooNE target These are just two out of a number of measurements relevant for neutrino physics, those will be provided by HARP in the near future
