Description
Future neutrino oscillation experiments demand a precise estimation of neutrino flux. The leading flux uncertainty comes from inadequate understanding of primary and secondary hadron-nucleus interactions. The NA61/SHINE experiment at CERN's Super Proton Synchrotron measures various hadron production processes with the goal of reducing the flux uncertainty of current and future accelerator-based neutrino beams. This contribution will present NA61/SHINE’s recent hadron production measurements, current data-taking, and future plans for the neutrino physics program.
