“…Thus, the muon flux may be used to both monitor and measure the neutrino flux. Numerous past experiments, going nearly as far back as the first accelerator neutrino beam experiment in the early 1960's, have used muon monitoring systems to monitor their tertiary beams and to infer or constrain the fluxes to the experiment [12,13,14,15,16,17].…”

“…One such beam that used muon monitors is the 1967 CERN PS neutrino beam [13], shown in Figure 1.10. Muons from π/K → µν were ranged out by ∼20 m of shielding upstream of the neutrino detector.…”

“…In past experiments, muon monitors have been used to infer or constrain the neutrino flux to the experiment [12,13,14,15,16,17]. Past experiments have benefited from 9-16 muon alcoves which can be used to perform integral flux measurements, and the large number of alcoves permitted unfolding of the threshold measurements into a differential distribution of muons, and hence neutrinos.…”

“…To cut off the largest range of neutrino energies, it is desirable to eliminate those particles which travel through the field-free "necks" of the horns. Such was attempted at CERN [177,58] by placing a Tungsten block (beam "plug") at the end of the usual target to help attenuate those high energy pions which tend to leave the target at small angles (θ π ≈ 2/γ π ).…”

Neutrino beams at from high-energy proton accelerators have been instrumental discovery tools in particle physics. Neutrino beams are derived from the decays of charged π and K mesons, which in turn are created from proton beams striking thick nuclear targets. The precise selection and manipulation of the π/K beam control the energy spectrum and type of neutrino beam. This article describes the physics of particle production in a target and manipulation of the particles to derive a neutrino beam, as well as numerous innovations achieved at past experimental facilities.

“…Following experience at BNL [12], the CERN PS [13], and IHEP [14], we propose to use the three NuMI muon alcoves to measure the differential energy distribution of the neutrino flux. Unlike these previous beam lines, however, NuMI has only 3 muon alcoves (See Figure 1), so cannot perform a differential measurement by measuring the flux of muons above each of the 4, 8, and 18 GeV/c momentum thresholds of the alcoves (to be contrasted with the 7-12 muon stations in previous beam lines).…”
