The HARP experiment at CERN is performing extensive measurements of hadron production cross sections and secondary particle yields in the energy range 2 – 15 GeV over the full solid angle, using a large set of cryogenic and solid targets. First measurements of hadron production cross sections in the forward region (up to about 300 mrad), using a replica of the K2K target and a proton beam of 12.9 GeV/c, are reported.

Physics Signal

The PANDA detector will allow to investigate the charmonium region in [Formula: see text] annihilation processes at a energy range for which production cross sections of charmonium states are unknown, in particular for those above the [Formula: see text] threshold. Cross sections for these states are expected to be rather small, so that it has to be verified that PANDA can cope with small rates. Therefore, several reaction channels have been identified as "benchmark channels" and the PANDA performance has been investigated in Monte Carlo studies. The focus of the charmed benchmark channels is to show the physics performance of the planned apparatus and to investigate the feasibility of separating the physics signal from a huge hadronic background.

Neutrino Fluxes

The HARP experiment at CERN is performing extensive measurements of hadron production cross sections and secondary particle yields in the energy range 1.5-15 GeV over the full solid angle, using a large set of cryogenic and solid targets. The hadron production in this region is a relevant ingredient in several branches of neutrino physics, including the characterization of neutrino beams, precise prediction of atmospheric neutrino fluxes, and quantification of pion production and capture for neutrino factory design. An overall precision of a few percent is required from the experiment to reach the final aim. The experimental layout comprises two spectrometers to perform momentum measurement of the secondaries produced in the target. The track momentum reconstruction in the spectrometers is complemented by a set of particle identification detectors that allow, with some redundancy, the particle type discrimination. Approximately 30 TB of data corresponding to 420 millions of events have been collected. The measurements of hadron production cross sections in the forward region (up to about 250 mrad) are reported using the K2K replica targets and a proton beam of 12.9 GeV/c. This is an appealing physics case given the immediate interest for those experiments and for the neutrino community.
