This book was released on 2022 with total page 795 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters at accelerator-based experiments require precise knowledge of neutrino interaction cross sections. A significant fraction of neutrino interactions observed in these experiments produce single charged pions. While single charged pion production has been measured on hydrocarbon and water, few precise measurements exist for heavier targets, and there are no high statistics measurements that directly compare pion production on different targets. This thesis measures differential cross sections of muon neutrino charged current single charged pion production with no other mesons in the final state in a neutrino beam with a mean energy of ~ 6 GeV. The pion production is studied on targets of scintillator, carbon, water, iron, and lead at MINERvA, a neutrino cross section experiment located in the NuMI beamline at Fermilab. These measured cross sections are differential in [mu]- and [pi]+ kinematics. A strong suppression of low Q2 and an enhancement of low T[Pi] are observed relative to commonly used neutrino interaction models in both the light and heavy nuclear targets. Incorporation of these observed effects in future neutrino oscillation experiments will improve their ability to measure energy of neutrino interactions, and therefore measure the parameters governing neutrino oscillations."--Page xii

This book was released on 2017 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sample of charged-current single pion production events for the semi- exclusive channel [nu]æ + CH 2!æ-[pi]0 + nucleon(s) has been obtained using neutrino exposures of the MINERvA detector. Differential cross sections for muon momentum, muon production angle, pion momentum, pion production angle, and four-momentum transfer square Q2 are reported and are compared to a GENIE-based simulation. The cross section versus neutrino energy is also re- ported. The effects of pion final-state interactions on these cross sections are investigated. The effect of baryon resonance suppression at low Q2 is examined and an event re-weight used by two previous experiments is shown to improve the data versus simulation agreement. The differential cross sections for Q2 for E[nu]

This book was released on 2015 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El experimento T2K es un experimento de neutrinos de largo recorrido que utiliza un haz casi puro the neutrinos muónicos. El objetivo principal del experimento es a medida de los parámetros de oscilación del neutrino muónicos. Para conseguir éste objetivo, T2K necesita una rigurosa predicción del índice de interacciones en el detector lejano, Super-KamiokaNDE. El detector cercano de T2K, ND280, calcula el índice de interacciones y estima el número de eventos en el detector lejano. Las interacciones de neutrino muónico de corriente cargada en el detector cercano (ND280) son usadas para predecir el índice de eventos en el detector lejano (Super-KamiokaNDE). Para una mejor restricción de los parámetros de sección eficaz, los cuales dominan el análisis junto con las incertezas de la prediccion del flujo, categorizamos los eventos seleccionados en tres grupos de acuerdo con el número de piones en el estado final. Estas tres categorías permiten un mejor ajuste de la señal del canal de oscilación (Corriente Cargada Quasielástica) y el principal ruído en oscilaciones (Corriente Cargada de 1 Pión Cargado). Actuales y futuros experimentos de neutrinos están limitados por las incertezas en las secciones eficaces de neutrinos. Los modelos actuales de sección eficaz están en tension con los datos experimentales en algunos rangos energéticos. Esto hace que sea critico estudiar secciones eficaces de neutrino--nucleo en todos los canales de interacción posibles. La producción the un solo pión en interacciones de neutrino muónico de corriente cargada es uno de los principales canales en tensión con los modelos. Como segunda contribución, presentamos el cálculo de producción the un solo pión en interacciones de neutrino muónico de corriente cargada usando un enfoque indepenediente del modelo explorando la capacidad total del detector ND280 para establecer las distribuciones cinemáticas del evento. La mejore del conocimiento de las interacciones, y en concreto del canal de producción de un sólo pión, permitirá la reducción de las incertidumbres sistemáticas en el análisis de oscilaciones.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) facility at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) produces an intense muon neutrino beam used by the Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS), a neutrino oscillation experiment, and the Main INjector ExpeRiment [nu]-A, (MINER[nu]A), a neutrino interaction experiment. Absolute neutrino cross sections are determined via [mathematical equation], where the numerator is the measured number of neutrino interactions in the MINOS Detector and the denominator is the flux of incident neutrinos. Many past neutrino experiments have measured relative cross sections due to a lack of precise measurements of the incident neutrino flux, normalizing to better established reaction processes, such as quasielastic neutrino-nucleon scattering. But recent measurements of neutrino interactions on nuclear targets have brought to light questions about our understanding of nuclear effects in neutrino interactions. In this thesis the [nu subscript mu] inclusive charged current cross section on iron is measured using the MINOS Detector. The MINOS detector consists of alternating planes of steel and scintillator. The MINOS detector is optimized to measure muons produced in charged current [nu subscript mu] interactions. Along with muons, these interactions produce hadronic showers. The neutrino energy is measured from the total energy the particles deposit in the detector. The incident neutrino flux is measured using the muons produced alongside the neutrinos in meson decay. Three ionization chamber monitors located in the downstream portion of the NuMI beamline are used to measure the muon flux and thereby infer the neutrino flux by relation to the underlying pion and kaon meson flux. This thesis describes the muon flux instrumentation in the NuMI beam, its operation over the two year duration of this measurement, and the techniques used to derive the neutrino flux.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results from the analysis of charged current pion-less (CC 0-pion) muon neutrino events in argon collected by the ArgoNeuT experiment on the NuMI beam at Fermilab are presented and compared with predictions from Monte Carlo simulations. A novel analysis method, based on the reconstruction of exclusive topologies, fully exploiting the Liquid argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC) technique capabilities, is used to analyze the events, characterized by the presence at the vertex of a leading muon track eventually accompanied by one or more highly ionizing tracks, and study nuclear effects in neutrino interactions on argon nuclei. Multiple protons accompanying the leading muon are visible in the ArgoNeuT events, and measured with a proton reconstruction threshold of 21 MeV kinetic energy. As a result, measurements of (anti- )neutrino CC 0-pion inclusive and exclusive cross sections on argon nuclei are reported. Prospects for future, larger mass LAr TPC detectors are discussed.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NO[nu]A is a long base-line neutrino oscillation experiment. It will study the oscillations between muon and electron neutrinos through the Earth. NO[nu]A consists of two detectors separated by 810 km. Each detector will measure the electron neutrino content of the neutrino (NuMI) beam. Differences between the measurements will reveal details about the oscillation channel. The NO[nu]A collaboration built a prototype detector on the surface at Fermilab in order to develop calibration, simulation, and reconstruction tools, using real data. This 220 ton detector is 110 mrad off the NuMI beam axis. This off-axis location allows the observation of neutrino interactions with energies around 2 GeV, where neutrinos come predominantly from charged kaon decays. During the period between October 2011 and April 2012, the prototype detector collected neutrino data from 1.67 × 1020 protons on target delivered by the NuMI beam. This analysis selected a number of candidate charged current muon neutrino events from the prototype data, which is 30% lower than predicted by the NO[nu]A Monte Carlo simulation. The analysis suggests that the discrepancy comes from an over estimation of the neutrino flux in the Monte Carlo simulation, and in particular, from neutrinos generated in charged kaon decays. The ratio of measured divided by the simulated flux of muon neutrinos coming from charged kaon decays is: 0.70+0.108 -0.094. The NO[nu]A collaboration may use the findings of this analysis to introduce a more accurate prediction of the neutrino flux produced by the NuMI beam in future Monte Carlo simulations.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The MINERvA Experiment (Main Injector Experiment v A interaction) [1] is a highly segmented detector of neutrinos, able to record events with high precision (over than thirteen million event in a four year run), using the NuMI Beam (Neutrino Main Injector) at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory [2]. This thesis presents a measurement of the Charged Current Quasi-Elastic Like1 v[mu] interaction on polystyrene scintillator (CH) in the MINERvA experiment with neutrino energies between 1.5 and 10 GeV. We use data taken between2 March 2010 and April 2012. The interactions were selected by requiring a negative muon, a reconstructed and identified proton, no michel electrons in the final state (in order to get rid of soft pions decaying) and a low calorimetric recoil energy away from the interaction vertex. The analysis is performed on 66,214 quasi-elastic like event candidates in the detectors tracker region with an estimated purity of 74%. The final measurement reported is a double differential cross sections in terms of the muon longitudinal and transversal momentum observables.
