abstract = {We present the first measurement of the negative pion total hadronic cross section on argon in a restricted
phase space, which we performed at the Liquid Argon In ATestbeam (LArIAT) experiment. All hadronic
reaction channels, as well as hadronic elastic interactions with scattering angle greater than 5° are included.
The pions have kinetic energies in the range 100–700 MeVand are produced by a beam of charged particles
impinging on a solid target at the Fermilab test beam facility. LArIAT employs a 0.24 ton active mass liquid
argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) to measure the pion hadronic interactions. For this measurement,
LArIAT has developed the “thin slice method,” a new technique to measure cross sections with LArTPCs.
While moderately higher, our measurement of the π−-Ar total hadronic cross section is generally in
agreement with the GEANT4 prediction.},
