Description
Recent results obtained by the HARP collaboration on the measurements
of the double-differential production cross-section of positive and
negative pions in interactions of 3-12 GeV/c protons with nuclear targets
from Beryllium to Lead are presented.
They cover production at small angles (30-210 mrad) and relatively large momenta up to 8 GeV/c
as well as large angles (0.35 - 2.15 rad) and small momenta (0.1 - 0.8 GeV/c).
These results are relevant for detailed understanding of
neutrino fluxes in accelerator neutrino experiments, better prediction
of atmospheric neutrino fluxes, optimisation of a future neutrino
factory design and for improvement of hadronic generators widely used
by the HEP community in the simulation of hadronic interactions. To
the latter, some comparisons of our data to the generators implemented
in the Geant4 code are given.
