A wikipage to list the experiment fluxes and where to find them in papers

Comments: some experiment determined fluxes purely by simulating the beamline, others fitted selected events (often CCQE) to get a sufficient interaction model description and then used that to go to a flux. In the best cases, these two methods are compared and the differences is an estimate of the flux error. This was not always the case though and the neutrino fluxes should always be taken with a pinch of salt!

BNL

• Note: I've found the BNL flux is not easy to come by. It is documented in three places; one of which is for a different detector (scintillator), one of which is determined from fitting MA CCQE events, one of which is repeats the CCQE fit with the full dataset. The latest simulation was presented at NuInt02 but was never made public other than in the proceedings. The NuInt02 website is offline, but I got my copy through a colleauge at KEK

    • This uses a dedicated "flux measuring detector" placed in the AGS. It has different radial extent to the original bubble chamber, so shouldn't be used for the bubble chamber flux. However, the paper claims good data-simulation agreement, which adds credibility to the bubble chamber flux.

    • This is the flux which we use for BNL. It uses CCQE events with double statistics to the above and a fit with MA = 1.1 GeV to determine the incident neutrino flux. Beware of using these sorts of methods! In correcting the total cross-section by using the CC1pi+/CCQE ratio, Wilkinson and Rodgriguez found that the BNL total cross-section correction was large (arxiv:1411.4482v1)
