Abstract

This contribution is devoted to looking at the NA61/SHINE experiment [1] through the prism of the needs of neutrino oscillation experiments. The new preliminary results on hadron production measurements from p+C (thin target - 0.04 λ_I) interactions at 31 GeV/c from 2009 data are presented. These results are crucial for the precise determination of background contamination in the neutrino flux of the Tokai to Kamioka (T2K) experiment at J-PARC [2].
