dc.description This work was supported by the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory under U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Award No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 which included the MINERvA construction project. Construction support was also granted by the United States National Science Foundation (NSF) under Grant No. PHY-0619727 and by the University of Rochester. Support for participating scientists was provided by NSF and DOE (USA), Coordenacao de Aperfeicoamento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior fundacao do Ministerio da Educacao (CAPES) and Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPq) (Brazil), Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia (CoNaCyT) (Mexico), Comision Nacional de Investigacion Cientifica y Tecnologica (CONICYT), programs including Fondo Nacional de Desarrollo Cientifico y Tecnologico (FONDECYT) (Chile), by Consejo Nacional de Ciencia, Tecnologia e Innovacion Tecnologica (CONCYTEC), Direccion de Gestion de la Investigacion de la Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru (DGI-PUCP) and Instituto General de Investigacion de la Universidad Nacional de Ingenieria (IDI/IGI-UNI) (Peru), and the Latin American Center for Physics (CLAF). We thank the MINOS Collaboration for use of its near detector data. We acknowledge the dedicated work of the Fermilab staff responsible for the operation and maintenance of the beamline and detector and the Fermilab Computing Division for support of data processing.
dc.description.abstract Knowledge of the neutrino flux produced by the Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) beamline is essential to the neutrino oscillation and neutrino interaction measurements of the MINERvA, MINOS+, NOvA and MicroBooNE experiments at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. We have produced a flux prediction which uses all available and relevant hadron production data, incorporating measurements of particle production off of thin targets as well as measurements of particle yields from a spare NuMI target exposed to a 120 GeV proton beam. The result is the most precise flux prediction achieved for a neutrino beam in the one to tens of GeV energy region. We have also compared the prediction to in situ measurements of the neutrino flux and find good agreement.
