Description
EMPHATIC (Experiment to Measure the Production of Hadrons At a Test beam In
Chicagoland) is a table-top size experiment at Fermilab focused on hadron production measurements relevant to reducing the total neutrino flux uncertainties at accelerator-based neutrino experiments. The goals of the experiment include addressing the gaps in our understanding of hadron-scattering and the first-ever measurement of the hadron spectrum downstream of a neutrino beam target and horn. Recent progress from EMPHATIC will be discussed, including a first proof-of-principle measurement and collection of a large catalog of thin-target data. Plans for EMPHATIC over the next few years, including measurements with a replica NuMI target and horn will also be presented.
