Inclusive production of protons, anti-protons, neutrons, deuterons and tritons in p+C collisions at 158 GeV/c beam momentum
European Physical Journal C 73:4 (2013) 1-66
Abstract:
The production of protons, anti-protons, neutrons, deuterons and tritons in minimum bias p+C interactions is studied using a sample of 385 734 inelastic events obtained with the NA49 detector at the CERN SPS at 158 GeV/c beam momentum. The data cover a phase space area ranging from 0 to 1.9 GeV/c in transverse momentum and in Feynman x from -0.8 to 0.95 for protons, from -0.2 to 0.3 for anti-protons and from 0.1 to 0.95 for neutrons. Existing data in the far backward hemisphere are used to extend the coverage for protons and light nuclear fragments into the region of intra-nuclear cascading. The use of corresponding data sets obtained in hadron-proton collisions with the same detector allows for the detailed analysis and model-independent separation of the three principle components of hadronization in p+C interactions, namely projectile fragmentation, target fragmentation of participant nucleons and intra-nuclear cascading. © 2013 The Author(s).Publisher’s Note: T2K neutrino flux prediction [Phys.

The MINOS experiment: 2012 results
Proceedings of Science 2012-July (2013)
Abstract:
Data taking has now finished for the low-energy phase of the MINOS experiment. The main osillation results from these data are presented. The disappearance of muon neutrinos and muon anti-neutrinos from the NuMI beam are combined with atmospheric data to produce a best fit for the atmospheric oscillation parameters. The |?m232| measurement, which is the most constraining in the world, is (2.39+-000910) × 10-3eV2. The value of sin2(2?32) is measured to be 0.957+-00035036. The latest results of the electron neutrino appearance search are presented and rule out ?13 = 0 at 2s. Results from the MINOS time of flight study are also presented and a preview of the physics available in the next phase of the experiment, MINOS+ is given.Evidence of electron neutrino appearance in a muon neutrino beam
