abstract

The fixed-target MIPP experiment, Fermilab E907, was designed to measure the production of hadrons from the collisions of hadrons of momenta ranging from 5 to 120 GeV/c on a variety of nuclei. These data will generally improve the simulation of particle detectors and predictions of particle beam fluxes at accelerators. The spectrometer momentum resolution is between 3 and 4%, and particle identification is performed for particles ranging between 0.3 and 80 GeV/c using $dE/dx$, time-of-flight and Cherenkov radiation measurements. MIPP collected $1.42 \times10^6$ events of 120 GeV Main Injector protons striking a target used in the NuMI facility at Fermilab. The data have been analyzed and we present here charged pion yields per proton-on-target determined in bins of longitudinal and transverse momentum between 0.5 and 80 GeV/c, with combined statistical and systematic relative uncertainties between 5 and 10%.

  1. Measurement of the $\bar \nu_\mu-$Hydrogen Charged-Current Quasi-Elastic Cross Section using the NOvA Near Detector

    hep-ex 2026-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    NOvA measures the antineutrino-hydrogen charged-current quasi-elastic cross section as 0.538 +/- 0.055 (flux) x 10^-38 cm^2 at 1.9 GeV, the most precise such measurement.

  2. Angular Distribution of Gamma Rays Produced in Proton-Proton Collisions

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new FLUKA-based database and Python tool give the joint energy and angular distribution of gamma rays from proton-proton collisions between threshold and 100 GeV, with an approximate fit formula.

  3. Comparisons of triple-differential cross sections for quasielastic-like $\nu_\mu$-hydrocarbon interactions using $\langle E_\nu\rangle \sim$ 3~GeV versus $\sim$ 6~GeV beams in MINERvA

    hep-ex 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    MINERvA compares quasielastic-like cross sections at two neutrino beam energies and finds discrepancies pointing to overestimated final state interactions for protons and pions.

  4. Measurement of $\pi^0$ Production in $\bar{\nu}_{\mu}$ Charged-Current Interactions in the NOvA Near Detector

    hep-ex 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    The most precise measurement to date of antineutrino-induced neutral pion production shows agreement with the GENIE model but indicates that other models underestimate the cross section in the Delta(1232) resonance region.
