31. Calibrating the MicroBooNE Photomultiplier Tube (PMT) Array with Michel Electrons from Cosmic Ray Muons

Amy Greene (MIT)

11/06/2013, 13:30

MicroBooNE is a neutrino experiment at Fermilab designed to investigate the 3 sigma low-energy electron candidate events measured by the MiniBooNE experiment. Neutrinos from the Booster Neutrino Beam are detected by a 170-ton (total) liquid argon time projection chamber, which is expected to start taking data in 2014. MicroBooNE measures both the ionization electrons and scintillation light...

18. MicroBooNE Electronics: Triggering and Readout

Mr David Kaleko (Columbia University/Nevis Labs)

MicroBooNE is a neutrino experiment under construction at Fermi National Lab.  It employs a 10m*2.6m*(2.5m drift length) 86 ton liquid argon time projection chamber (TPC) active volume to record ionization signals from particles produced in neutrino interactions, and uses scintillation light detected by a PMT array to provide precise interaction timing information.  The MicroBooNE readout...

1. Long Term Performance of the MINOS Calibration Procedure

Mr Navaneeth Poonthottathil Poonthottathil (CUSAT/Fermilab)

The MINOS experiment uses two detectors separated by 734 km to study neutrino oscillations between Fermilab and the Soudan Underground Laboratory. The MINOS detectors are steel-scintillator sampling tracking calorimeters and are calibrated based on the information obtained from an in-situ light injection system and cosmic ray muons.The Stability of the detectors monitored during the entire...

9. Measuring Neutrino Oscillations with the MINOS Experiment

Mr Alexander Radovic (University College London)

11/06/2013, 14:24

"The observation of neutrino oscillation provided the first evidence for physics beyond the standard model. MINOS has been one of the foremost experiments in the field. Pioneering the two-detector technique, the MINOS long-baseline oscillation experiment has made several world-class neutrino oscillation measurements, not only making the most precise measure of the largest neutrino mass...

17. Measurement of Neutrino and Antineutrino Oscillation Parameters Using the Complete Atmospheric and Beam Data Sets from MINOS

Ms Michelle Mesquita de Medeiros (Federal University of Goias)

11/06/2013, 14:42

The MINOS detectors are used to collect data from the NuMI neutrino beam as well as atmospheric neutrino data. The atmospheric data taken by the Far Detector, located underground at a depth of 2070 meters-water-equivalent and at 735 km from the neutrino production target, is combined with beam data from both Near and Far Detectors to measure the neutrino and antineutrino mixing parameters....
