Title: Flux-Independent Measurements of Deep-Inelastic Neutrino Processes

Abstract

The scaling variable ν = xy = 2(E_μ/M) sin²(1/2θ_μ) is useful for the description of deep-inelastic neutrino-nucleon scattering processes. This variable is determined solely by the momentum and angle of the outgoing lepton. The normalized scattering distribution in this variable is independent of incident lepton energy and flux, provided scale invariance is valid. Furthermore the sensitivity to various hypothetical scale-breaking mechanisms is discussed.

Technical Report Hanson, Gail G ; Klier, Amit ; Palmer, R ; ...

By providing an intense, well controlled, well characterized, narrow beam of muon neutrinos (νμ’s) and electron antineutrinos (^–ν_e’s) from the decay of muons (μ⁻’s) in a storage ring, a neutrino factory can advance neutrino physics beyond the current round of approved and proposed experiments using conventional neutrino beams produced from a beam of decaying pions and kaons [1, 2]. There is no other comparable single clean source of electron neutrinos (from the decay of μ⁺’s) or antineutrinos. A muon storage ring producing 10¹⁹ to 10²¹ muon decays per year should be feasible. These intense neutrino beams can be used tomore »« less

A study of muon neutrino to electron neutrino oscillations in the MINOS experiment

Thesis/Dissertation Yang, Tingjun

The observation of neutrino oscillations (neutrino changing from one flavor to another) has provided compelling evidence that the neutrinos have non-zero masses and that leptons mix, which is not part of the original Standard Model of particle physics. The theoretical framework that describes neutrino oscillation involves two mass scales (Δm_atm² and Δm_sol²), three mixing angles (θ₁₂, θ₂₃, and θ₁₃) and one CP violating phase (δ_CP). Both mass scales and two of the mixing angles (θ₁₂ and θ₂₃) have been measured by many neutrino experiments. The mixing angle θ₁₃, which is believed to be very small, remains unknown. The current bestmore »« less

The search for neutrino oscillations in the appearance mode η_μ → η_e for neutrino energies near the muon threshold [Search for neutrino oscillations using a liquid scintillator detector in a muon neutrino beam at LAMPF]

Technical Report Huang, Ying-Chiang

To investigate the possibility of neutrino oscillation, a search for the exclusive mode, ν_μ → ν_e, was performed at LAMPF. The reactions studied were ν_μ + C → μ^- + X; μ^- → e/sup -/ + anti ν_e + ν_μ, and ν_e + C → e^- + X (if ν_μ → ν_e). The detector was located at an effective distance of 20 m from the water target. The beam was composed primarily of muon-neutrinos from pion decay, and the neutrino flux (of mean energy 150 MeV) was computed to be 6.2 x 10⁵ ν/cm^2-sec for 20 μA of proton beammore »« less
