Neutrino flux predictions for the NuMI beam
Neutrino flux predictions for the NuMI beam
A well understood neutrino flux is crucial for experiments seeking to measure neutrino cross-sections and searching for sterile neutrino driven short baseline oscillations or sub-dominant long baseline oscillations. I'll discuss our effort to improve the flux prediction for the Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) beam at Fermilab using a combination of external constraints (from hadron production experiments) and in situ measurements. I'll show results for MINOS, NOvA, and MicroBooNE, and conclude with a description of our plans for the next few years, along with some thoughts about how one might do better on the timescale of the DUNE experiment.
