The 2005-‐06 Data Run
• MIPP began its physics run in December 2004 and ran un5l February 2006.
• DAQ rate was ~25 Hz, with MIPP receiving ~5% of MI beam.
• Data collected:
• ~1.6 x 106 events of Main Injector 120 GeV/c protons on a spare NuMI target.
• ~3.2 x 106 π’s, K’s and p’s at 120, 60, 35 and 20 GeV/c on 1-‐2% λL C and Be targets.

Before correction After correction
Inhomogeneous magne5c field causes drif electrons to deviate from straight-‐line path to pad plane on bojom on TPC. Devia5ons of up to ~5 cm are observed!
Using a map of the magne5c field and the Magboltz simula5on, we correct these ExB drif effects to the level of ~90% (~2 mm worst case).
Electron drif velocity is found to be run/5me dependent: sensi5ve to the water contamina5on in the P10 gas!
Time-‐dependent correc5ons to the drif velocity are made and δvD /vD ~ 1%.

Global Track Reconstruc7on
TPC track segments are matched to downstream drif chamber hits, momentum is determined from bend in both magnets.

Since all mirrors have a different response, each measurement of Npe is normalized to that of a β=1 par5cle.
Pion “turn-‐on” clearly visible; proton “turn-‐on” also visible in slices of momentum.
Shape of normalized response dist. in MC agrees very well with data.
Data-‐driven calibra5on of 96 mirrors found detector response gives <10 pe/β=1 track.

•MINOS adjusts their predicted ND neutrino energy spectra to agree with the measured spectra using (pz,pT)-‐dependent weights; these weights are an empirical fit, similar to the BPMT parameterizaLon.
• The goal of this analysis is to provide similar weights to adjust the hadron producLon predicLon off of the NuMI target with a direct measurement of the parLcle yields.
• The MIPP results will be parLcle yields, binned in (pz,pT).

Where We Are With the Analysis
Jonathan Paley, ANL HEP Division
15
I had been making good progress with the analysis before I made the choice to focus on NOvA in early 2010:
Event selec5on criteria finalized (begin with 2.11x106 POT, end with 1.45x106 POT)
Momentum bias and scale correc5ons finalized. Es5mates on uncertain5es on these are quite small compared to our proposed (pz,pT) bin sizes.
(pz,pT) bins determined based on σ(N(π+)) < 3%. There are 133 bins. In most cases (at low momenta), σ(N(π+)) < 1%. Probably don’t need that many bins, so to expedite the analysis, one could easily decrease the number of bins by factor of 2-‐5 and s5ll have a big impact on flux constraints.
Large MC data set generated (but needs further tuning)
Analysis (fipng) strategy outlined and mock data tests had begun on the approach. This needs to be revisited, in par5cular there may be bejer/quicker ways of doing this using modern/standard tools (eg, Root TMVA).
Some further progress has been made on the NuMI target analysis by other MIPP colleagues since I “disappeared”, eg, data-‐driven calibra5on of TCP <dE/dx> all the way to 120 GeV/c (there is informa5on beyond ~1.5 GeV/c).

Conclusions and Thoughts on Possible Paths Forward
20
• MIPP collected several millions of events of π, K and p beams at various momenta incident on various targets, 1.6 x 106 120 GeV protons on an actual NuMI target.
• All MIPP sub-‐detector systems have been calibrated and the MC tuned to the data. MC/Data PID agreement looks reasonable, but some further fine-‐tuning is needed.
• PID response in MC can be tuned “by hand” using the above files to be “good enough”. ToF and RICH need some fine-‐tuning, TPC and Ckov should be ok now.
• Using Root tools (TMVA, TSVD) could make analysis more straigh{orward (not saying it’ll be “easy”!)
• Low-‐energy K± and K-‐short produc5on measurement is relevant for NOvA NDOS analysis, obviously other experiments would benefit from anything MIPP produces (yields or ra5os, p < 3 GeV/c, p > 20 GeV/c, etc.)
• Help from experiments that would benefit from these data would be appreciated, and it should not be difficult to get postdoc up and running. Eg, flat Root ntuple format of data and MC exists.
