“…Besides, this is the lowest energy at which the spectrum of the invariant antideuteron cross section was measured so far. [19,30]. These modern data sets are important since they are achieved with up-to-date techniques in hardware and data analysis and have low systematic errors.…”

Deuteron and antideuteron production simulation in cosmic-ray interactions

The study of the cosmic-ray deuteron and antideuteron flux receives an increasing interest in current astrophysics investigations. For both cases an important contribution is expected from the nuclear interactions of primary cosmic rays with intergalactic matter. In this work, deuteron and antideuteron production from 20 to 2.6×10 7 GeV beam energy in p+p and p+A collisions were simulated using EPOS-LHC and Geant4's FTFP-BERT Monte Carlo models by adding an event-byevent coalescence model afterburner. These estimates depend on a single parameter (p0) obtained from a fit to the data. The p0 for deuterons in this wide energy range was evaluated for the first time. It was found that p0 for antideuterons is not a constant at all energies as previous works suggested and as a consequence the antideuteron production cross section can be at least 20 times smaller in the low collision energy region, than earlier estimations.

“…The flux is simulated using a GEANT4 simulation 2 with corrections to reproduce external hadron production data [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] where the external data are scaled to different incident particle energies using the FLUKA simulation [34,35]. The version of the flux used in this analysis was released in 2013 and used in early MINERvA publications [11,13].…”

The total cross sections are important ingredients for the current and future neutrino oscillation experiments. We present measurements of the total charged-current neutrino and antineutrino cross sections on scintillator (CH) in the NuMI low-energy beamline using an in situ prediction of the shape of the flux as a function of neutrino energy from 2-50 GeV. This flux prediction takes advantage of the fact that neutrino and antineutrino interactions with low nuclear recoil energy (ν) have a nearly constant cross section as a function of incident neutrino energy. This measurement is the lowest energy application of the low-ν flux technique, the first time it has been used in the NuMI antineutrino beam configuration, and demonstrates that the technique is applicable to future neutrino beams operating at multi-GeV energies. The cross section measurements presented are the most precise measurements to date below 5 GeV.

A: The G 4 toolkit is used extensively in high energy physics to simulate the passage of particles through matter and to predict effects such as detector efficiencies and smearing. G 4 uses many underlying models to predict particle interaction kinematics, and uncertainty in these models leads to uncertainty in high energy physics measurements. The G 4 collaboration recently made free parameters in some models accessible through partnership with G 4 developers. We present a study of the impact of varying parameters in three G 4 hadronic physics models on agreement with thin target datasets and describe fits to these datasets using the Professor model tuning framework. We find that varying parameters produces substantially better agreement with some datasets, but that more degrees of freedom are required for full agreement. This work is a first step towards a common framework for propagating uncertainties in G 4 models to high energy physics measurements, and we outline future work required to complete that goal.
