Precise measurement of neutrino and anti-neutrino differential cross sections on iron
Abstract
This thesis will present a precise measurement of the differential cross section for charged current neutrino and anti-neutrino scattering from iron. The NuTeV experiment took data during 1996-97 and collected 8.6 10 º and 2.4 10 º charged-current (CC) interactions. The experiment combines sign-selected neutrino and antineutrino beams and the upgraded CCFR iron-scintillator neutrino detector. A precision continuous calibration beam was used to determine the muon and hadron energy scales to a precision of about a factor of two better than previous experiments. The structure functions F (x,Q2) and xF3(x,Q2) are extracted and compared with theory and previous measurements.

First Measurement of the Muon Anti-Neutrino Charged Current Quasielastic Double-Differential Cross-Section
This dissertation presents the first measurement of the muon antineutrino charged current quasi-elastic double-differential cross section. These data significantly extend the knowledge of neutrino and antineutrino interactions in the GeV range, a region that has recently come under scrutiny due to a number of conflicting experimental results. To maximize the precision of this measurement, three novel techniques were employed to measure the neutrino background component of the data set. Representing the first measurements of the neutrino contribution to an accelerator-based antineutrino beam in the absence of a magnetic field, the successful execution of these techniques carry implications for current andmore » -
Measurement of the transverse momentum differential cross-section for Z boson decays to muon anti-muon events in proton anti-proton collisions at center-of-mass energy = 1.8-TeV
In 1961 Sheldon Lee Glashow, while working on electroweak unification gauge theory, developed a model in which he introduced a massive neutral intermediate vector boson, call Z [1], [2], [3]. By 1967 Steven Weinberg and Abdus Salam had independently solved the theoretical problems with this model and developed their own self-consistent theory. In this thesis the Z gauge boson production rate at CDF as a function of the Z transverse momentum is studied in the dimuon channel. -
A measurement of hadron production cross sections for the simulation of accelerator neutrino beams and a search for muon-neutrino to electron-neutrino oscillations in the Δm 2 about equals 1-eV 2 region
A measurement of hadron production cross-sections for the simulation of accelerator neutrino beams and a search for muon neutrino to electron neutrino oscillations in the Δm 2 ~ 1 eV 2} region. This dissertation presents measurements from two different high energy physics experiments with a very strong connection: the Hadron Production (HARP) experiment located at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, and the Mini Booster Neutrino Experiment (Mini-BooNE) located at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois.
