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.

Historical Remarks

The neutrino-induced charged-current quasi-elastic (CCQE, νl + n → l- + p or [Formula: see text]) interaction is the most abundant interaction around 1 GeV, and it is the most fundamental channel to study neutrino oscillations. Recently, MiniBooNE published both muon neutrino1 and muon anti-neutrino2 double differential cross-sections on carbon. In this review, we describe the details of these analyses and include some historical remarks.
