Abstract
The choice of proton driver energy is an important variable in maximising the pion flux available in later stages of the neutrino factory. Simulations of pion production using a range of energies are presented and cross-checked for reliability between the codes MARS15 and GEANT4 . The distributions are combined with postulated apertures for the pion decay channel and muon front-end to estimate the usable muon flux after capture losses. Resolution of discrepancies between the codes awaits experimental data in the required energy range.
