22. g-2 Overview

Dr Mandy Rominsky (Fermilab)

6/10/14, 3:30 PM

The measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon provides a test of the standard model and a handle on physics beyond the standard model. A new experiment at Fermilab has been proposed to resolve the current discrepancy of 3 sigma between theory and experiment. The principles, history and current experimental progress will be discussed in this presentation.

6. Electron Neutrino Appearance in NOvA

Ms Kanika Sachdev (University of Minnesota)

6/10/14, 3:50 PM

NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment optimized for electron neutrino appearance. It consists of two functionally identical, nearly fully-active liquid-scintillator tracking calorimeters. The Near Detector (ND) at FNAL will be used to study the neutrino beam spectrum and composition before oscillation, and measure background rate to the electron neutrino appearance search....

19. Muon Neutrino Disappearance at NOvA

Dr Louise Suter (Argonne)

6/10/14, 4:10 PM

NOvA consists of two highly active, finely segmented, liquid scintillator detectors located 14 mrad off Fermilab's NuMI beam axis, a Near Detector located at Fermilab and a Far Detector located 810 km from the beam target. The NOvA long-baseline neutrino experiment will be sensitive to the muon neutrino disappearance parameters sin^2(theta_23) and delta m^2_(32), enabling the potential...
