Maximizing +(-) production yield as a function ofTarget materialProton energy GeometryCollection efficiency
Poor experimental knowledge:Few material testedLarge errors (small acceptance)
Different simulations show large discrepancies for production distribution, both in shape and normalization.
factory designfactory design
need to measure yield and +/- ratio better than 5% need differential distributions (PL,PT)

Pion/kaon yield for the design of the proton driver and target systems of neutrino factories neutrino factories
Input for prediction of neutrino fluxes for the MiniBooNE and K2K experiments
Input for precise calculation of the atmospheric neutrino flux (from yields of secondary p,K)
![Page 8: Mariyan Bogomilov CERN, (Switzerland) University of Sofia and INRNE, (Bulgaria)](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56814897550346895db5ac11/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Atmospheric Atmospheric flux flux
Primary flux is now considered to be known better than 10%
Most of uncertainty comes from the lack of data to construct and calibrate a reliable hadron interaction model
Model-dependent extrapolations from the limited set of data lead to about 30% uncertainty in atmospheric fluxes
Need measurements on cryogenic targets (N2, 02) covering the full kinetic range in a single experiment

ConclusionsConclusionsThe HARP Experiment has collected data for hadron production measurements with a wide range of beam energies and targets
Detector, PID, tracking efficiency well understood and robust
First cross-section data are available: thin (5%) K2K target, using forward region of the detector
In the near future HARP will provide many In the near future HARP will provide many important results, not only for important results, not only for physics physics!!
