33. Study of Quasi-Elastic interactions using the NOvA Detector Prototype

Minerba Betancourt (University of Minnesota)

11/06/2013, 15:30

NOvA is a 14 KTon long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment currently being installed in the NUMI off-axis neutrino beam produced at Fermilab. A 222 Ton prototype NOvA detector (NDOS) was built and operated in the neutrino beam for over a year to understand the the response of the detector and its construction. Muon neutrino interaction data collected in this test are being...

16. NuMI Beam Flux Study for MINERvA

Mr Leonidas Aliaga Soplin (College of William and Mary)

11/06/2013, 15:48

The Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) delivers an intense muon neutrino beam in an energy range of 2-20 GeV. A well known neutrino flux is crucial to make absolute cross sections in experiments like Minerva. Several techniques are currently using to constraint the flux and one of then is to use the existing external hadron production data to reduce the NuMI hadron production uncertainties...

10. 1D/2D unfolding at MINERvA

Mr Kenyi Paolo Hurtado Anampa (CBPF)

11/06/2013, 16:06

Finite detector resolution and limited acceptance require experiments to apply unfolding methods in any particle physics experiment. The MINERvA UnfoldUtils package is an interface to the RooUnfold Framework [1] used to apply different unfolding algorithms for this purpose and incorporates the ability to use specific MINERvA classes for handling the different systematic errors in the...

14. Muon Neutrino Charged Current Quasi-Elastic Scattering in MINERvA

Tammy Walton (Hampton University)

11/06/2013, 16:24

MINERvA is a few-GeV neutrino-nucleus scattering experiment, stationed in the high intensity NuMI beam line at Fermilab. It has been taking data since November 2009 and completed construction in March 2010. MINERvA aims to make precision cross section measurements of both the electron neutrino and muon neutrino interactions, both in support of neutrino oscillation experiments and as a pure...

6. Electron-neutrino charged-current quasi-elastic cross-section at MINERvA

Jeremy Wolcott (University of Rochester)

11/06/2013, 16:44

The electron-neutrino charged-current quasi-elastic (CCQE) cross-section on nuclei is an important input parameter to appearance-type neutrino oscillation experiments, where it affects both the signal and predicted background rates. Current experiments typically work from the muon neutrino cross-section and apply corrections from theoretical arguments to obtain a prediction for the electron...

7. Charged Current Coherent Pion Production by Neutrinos.

Aaron Higuera (Universidad de Guanajuato)

11/06/2013, 17:02

MINERvA (Main Injector Experiment for v-A) is a neutrino scattering experiment in the 1-10 GeV energy range in the NuMI high-intensity neutrino beam at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. MINERvA is measuring neutrino/antineutrino scattering off a variety of different nuclear materials (C, Fe, Pb, He, H2O). This talk will describe the current analysis on charged current coherent pion...
