NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment that will use the NuMI beam originating at Fermilab. NOvA enables the study of two oscillation channels: $\nu_{\mu}$ disappearance and $\nu_{e}$ appearance. It consists of two functionally identical detectors, the Near Detector (ND) at FNAL and the Far Detector (FD) near International Falls in Northern Minnesota. The ND will be used to...

At MuCool Test Area (MTA) of Fermilab, an experiment has been performed with an RF cavity filled with high pressure hydrogen gas to study beam loading effects. In this experiment a 400 MeV proton beam is used with an external magnetic field of B=3 T. Quantitative information about the number of protons passing through the cavity is an essential requirement of the beam test. We have developed...

The MiniBooNE experiment is sensitive to sub-GeV weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) due to the large number of protons on target (POT) and by virtue of the large detector mass. The ongoing search in MiniBooNE neutral current elastic scattering (NCE) sample is reported, looking at both the energy distribution and also exploiting the excellent timing resolution. We also discuss an idea...

The NOvA long-baseline neutrino experiment has been designed to study electron neutrino appearance in a muon neutrino beam using a totally active, segmented, liquid scintillator detector located off the Fermilab NuMI beam axis. NOvA will observe electron neutrino appearance with a baseline of 810 km subject to significant matter effects. It will thus have excellent sensitivity to the neutrino...

Precision calibration of optical fiber’s activities is crucial for the liquid scintillation detectors of the NOvA experiment. Stability test and calibration study of optical detector are necessary for a successful physics outcome of the detector. We present the stability test of the fiber-loop-transmissions (FLT) quality assurance device, and the calibration results of various detector modules.

The Main Injector Particle Production (MIPP) experiment at Fermilab is a full acceptance spectrometer to measure hadronic particle production using beams of $\pi^{\pm}$, $\rm{K^{\pm}}$, p and $\rm{\bar{p}}$ ranging in momentum from 5 to 120 GeV/c incident on Liquid-Hydrogen, Beryllium, Carbon, Bismuth, Uranium and NuMI targets. The experiment has excellent charged particle identification...

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....

The Main Injector Particle Production (MIPP) experiment at Fermilab is a fixed target hadron production experiment. It measures particle production in interactions of 120 GeV/c primary protons from the Main Injector and secondary beams of $\pi^{\pm}, \rm{K}^{\pm}$, p and $\bar{\rm{p}}$ from 5 to 90 GeV/c on nuclear targets which include H, Be, C, Bi and U, and a dedicated run with the NuMI...

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Hadron Calorimeter (HCAL) is scheduled to be upgraded in order to increase longitudinal depth segmentation in the Barrel and Endcap regions and to improve anomalous signal rejection efficiency in the Forward Region. In order to achieve these goals, the phototransducers and the front-end and back-end electronics of the HCAL will be upgraded in stages over the...

When relativistic electrons propagate parallel to planar channels in a crystal lattice, they can oscillate about the crystal planes emitting an undulator like radiation known as Channeling Radiation. We plan to use our novel photo and field emission cathodes to generate very small emittance electron beams to make a channeling radiation X-ray source. This experiment is currently under...

The production rate of pions/kasons, which decay into neutrino incident at NOvA, in iron and helium relative to that in carbon is shown as a function of xF and pT. Simulations are done with the medium energy horn configuration in G4NuMI for neutrinos incident at NOvA Near Detector. Results are shown for Forward Horn Current(Focus-Positive) vs Reverse Horn Current for two hadron cross...

Proton computed tomography (pCT) is a new medical imaging technique that offers many advantages over conventional X-ray CT, especially when used in conjunction with proton therapy treatment. The pCT scanner consists of two fiber trackers in front of the object, two fiber trackers behind the object, and a range detector behind the rear fiber trackers. The residual proton energy is measured in...

The High Brightness Electron Source Lab (HBESL) at Fermilab was reconfigured from the previous A0 facility to develop novel techniques to produce and diagnose high brightness electron beams whose applications are found in many fields. In this poster we present the recent developments at HBESL in regards to the new results on photo- and field emission studies from different cathodes. We also...

The MINOS experiment makes precision measurement of the atmospheric neutrino mixing parameters using neutrinos at the Main Injector(NuMI) and by employing two detectors separated by long base line. The normalized energy response at the each detector is obtained by a comprehensive calibration procedure to correct for the detector affects using cosmic ray muons . As part of the calibration...

A search for heavy resonances decaying into $\tau^{+}\tau^{-}$ has been performed using 4.94 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at 7 TeV recorded by the CMS detector during LHC Run2011. Estimation of major backgrounds has been performed using data-driven methods wherever possible. In the absence of any excess of observed data events over the Standard Model background prediction, an...

The next generation of neutrino experiments will require massive and/or high resolution detectors to reach the sensitivity needed to measure CP violation in the lepton sector and the neutrino mass hierarchy. The Large-Area Picosecond Photo Detector (LAPPD) Collaboration is developing new methods to fabricate 8in-square thin planar micro channel plate photosensors, which have shown to have...
