A neutrino factory would provide a high flux beam of electron and muon neutrinos with well understood energy and flavour composition for detailed studies of neutrino oscillations. Such a beam requires a large number of muons and hence pions, which would be provided by a proton driver and pion production target. The optimal design of such a pion production target and the necessary pion capture system need accurate knowledge of hadron production at energies of several GeV. HARP, a large acceptance particle spectrometer of conventional design, aims to measure hadron production cross sections on thin and thick nuclear targets in the range of beam momentum 2-15 GeV/c in order to provide the desired data.
