The stochastic injection scenario used by nuSTORM features the pion decay and secondary muon acceptance in the storage ring’s long decay straight [1,2]. The designed momentum acceptance of the nuSTORM decay ring is centered at 3.8 GeV/c, based on neutrino detector performance, with a $\pm\,$10% bin. In order to design the injection section, and to obtain as many useful muons from pion decay as possible, the center momentum of the pion beam being injected needs to be carefully chosen. This paper describes in detail the determination of the center momentum of the pion beam, with simulation from G4Beamline [3].
