6 Physics goals Physics of strongly interacting matter – p+p/A, A+A
transition quark-gluon plasma hadron gas Discovery potential: Search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter Precision measurements: Study the properties of the onset of deconfinement in nucleus-nucleus collisions Measure hadron production at high transverse momenta in p+p and p+Pb collisions as reference for Pb+Pb results 19/03/2010 Rencontres de Moriond - QCD and High Energy Interactions

7 Rencontres de Moriond - QCD and High Energy Interactions
Neutrino physics T2K One of processes: p+®m++nm BR= % Neutrino oscillations – The energy spectrum of neutrinos of a given flavour measured at the far detector is compared with that extrapolated from measurements at the near detector with and without oscillation hypothesis. Precise knowledge of hadron production is essential to predict the energy spectrum of neutrinos at the near detector (for neutrino cross section measurements) and to extrapolate the measured spectrum in the near location to the far detector with a precision of 2-3%, using a Monte-Carlo prediction of the neutrino beam tuned with the NA61 hadron production data. For details see the slides of N. Abgrall and K. Matsuoka from EW session. 19/03/2010 Rencontres de Moriond - QCD and High Energy Interactions

are required for the proposed fluctuation studies Event-by-event fluctuations in the number of interacting (participant) nucleons are the main source of the background in the fluctuation studies The fluctuations of the number of projectile participants are suppressed by selecting collisions with fixed number of projectile spectators (in NA61 measured by PSD) The fluctuations of the number of target participants can be suppressed only by selection of very central collisions peripheral central Number of projectile participants Konchakovski et al., Phys.
