New Hadroproduction results from the HARP/PS214 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 q 2.15 rad) with a redundant particle identification.

Sumario: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 q 2.15 rad) with a redundant particle identification. Obtained results may be used for the tuning of neutrino beamline simulations, going from conventional neutrino beams to superbeams and neutrino factories, and for a better understanding of extended air shower and atmospheric neutrinos simulations. In addition, they will be of great interest for the tuning at low energies of the available general-purpose hadronic simulation packages, such as GEANT4, MARS or FLUKA.
