Comments on TPC and RPC calibrations reported by the HARP Collaboration

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

The HARP Collaboration recently published calibrations of their TPC and RPC detectors, and differential cross-sections of large-angle pion production in proton-nucleus collisions. We argue that these calibrations are biased and cross-sections based on them should not be trusted.
