Description
The objective of the HARP experiment is a systematic study of hadron production for beam momenta from 1.5~\GeVc to 15~\GeVc for a large range of target nuclei. One of the major motivations for the experiment was to provide accurate data for the calculation of neutrino fluxes in the on-going neutrino oscillation experiments K2K and MiniBooNE.
This talk will describe the measurements of hadroproduction cross section for Al target at 12.9 GeV and Be target ad 8.9 GeV. The first result is relevant for the K2K experiment while the second is important for the MiniBoone experiment.
In addition to the calculation of the hadroproduction cross section in HARP, this talk will show examples of its applications. In particular, the possibility of computing a very accurate prediction for the K2K Far-Near ratio will be quantitatively illustrated. Also predictions for MiniBoone neutrino fluxes will be shown.
Organiser(s): Rolf Landua / DSU
Note: * Tea & coffee will be served at 16:00
