Neutrino observations from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory

Conference Ahmad, Q.R. ; Allen, R.C. ; Andersen, T.C. ; ...

The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) is a water imaging Cherenkov detector. Its usage of 1000 metric tons of D{sub 2}O as target allows the SNO detector to make a solar-model independent test of the neutrino oscillation hypothesis by simultaneously measuring the solar {nu}{sub e} flux and the total flux of all active neutrino species. Solar neutrinos from the decay of {sup 8}B have been detected at SNO by the charged-current (CC) interaction on the deuteron and by the elastic scattering (ES) of electrons. While the CC reaction is sensitive exclusively to {nu}{sub e}, the ES reaction also has a smallmore »« less

Constraints on the neutrino flux in NOvA using the near detector data

Journal Article Maan, Kuldeep K. - PoS Proceedings of Science

NOvA, a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment at Fermilab, is designed to measure electron-neutrino appearance and muon-neutrino disappearance in the NuMI beam. NOvA comprises of two finely segmented liquid scintillator detectors at 14 mrad off-axis in the NuMI beam. An accurate prediction of the neutrino flux is needed for precision oscillation and cross-section measurements. Data from the hadron-production experiments and, importantly, from the NOvA Near Detector provide powerful constraints on the muon-neutrino and electron-neutrino fluxes. In particular, the measurement of the neutrino-electron elastic scattering provides an in situ constraint on the absolute flux. Lastly, this poster presents the data-driven predictions ofmore »« less

Toward A Precision Era Of Neutrino Oscillation Physics: Liquid Argon Scintillation Detector Development for DUNE and Neutrino Oscillation Studies with NOvA

Thesis/Dissertation Howard, Bruce Lynn

NOvA is an accelerator-based high-energy particle physics experiment that studies oscillations in a beam of mostly muon (anti-)neutrinos, looking for the disappearance of muon (anti-)neutrinos and appearance of electron (anti-)neutrinos. This search is sensitive to several key neutrino oscillation parameters. After the completion of NOvA, DUNE will continue to study neutrino oscillations with a liquid argon time-projection chamber, which provides finer granularity of tracking than NOvA. Furthermore, the beam will be more powerful, the detector fiducial volume is approximately 3 times larger than the full NOvA detector, and the detector will be situated underground. DUNE is therefore expected to usher in a precision era of long-baseline neutrino oscillation physics. While the main signal from a liquid argon time-projection chamber is the ionization signal produced by the passage of charged particles, argon is also a copious source of scintillation. This light is useful for pro viding a precise event time. Scintillation light is potentially especially useful in non-beam studies in DUNE, such as atmospheric neutrinos, supernova neutrinos, and potential nucleon decay. In this dissertation, I will discuss both projects. In addition to a study of the drift in NOvA’s energy calibration, recent oscillation analysis is discussed, which finds a best fit atmore »« less

$Z^{'} s$ in neutrino scattering at DUNE

Journal Article Ballett, Peter ; Hostert, Matheus ; Pascoli, Silvia ; ... - Physical Review D

Novel leptophilic neutral currents can be tested at upcoming neutrino oscillation experiments using two complementary processes, neutrino trident production and neutrino-electron (ν-e) elastic scattering. Considering generic anomaly-free U(1) extensions of the Standard Model, we discuss the characteristics of ν-e scattering as well as e+e- and μ+μ- trident production at the DUNE near detector in the presence of such beyond the Standard Model scenarios. We then determine the sensitivity of DUNE in constraining the well-known L _e-L _μ and L _μ-L _τ models. We conclude that DUNE will be able to probe these leptophilic models with unprecedented sensitivity, covering unproved explanationsmore » of the (g-2) _μ discrepancy.« less
