Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study to identify predicted effects of the carbon nucleus environment on neutrino - nucleus interactions with low momentum transfer. A large sample of neutrino interaction data collected by the MINERvA experiment is analyzed to show the distribution of charged hadron energy in a region with low momentum transfer. These distributions reveal a major discrepancy between the data and a popular interaction model with only the simplest Fermi gas nuclear effects. Detailed analysis of systematic uncertainties due to energy scale and resolution can account for only a little of the discrepancy. Two additional nuclear model effects, a suppression/screening effect (RPA), and the addition of a meson exchange current process (MEC), are shown to improve the description of the data.

This book was released on 2008-01-15 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NuInt07, the fifth in a series of international workshops, was held at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, IL. It was the successful continuation of a series of workshops focused solely on the understanding and measurement of low energy neutrino-nucleus interactions. Neutrino cross sections in the few-GeV energy range are an important ingredient for neutrino oscillation experiments as well as being interesting in their own right. Such measurements and their accompanying theoretical calculations had not been updated for decades. The goal of this workshop series has been to remedy this situation by providing an environment where both experimentalists and theorists in nuclear and high energy physics can come together to review and discuss recent progress in neutrino-nucleus measurements and calculations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the interactions of neutrinos with elementary particles are described with impressive precision by the Standard Model, neutrino-nucleus reactions remain less well understood. Improvements in our knowledge of neutrino-nucleus scattering will be an important requirement for the success of future experimental efforts involving neutrinos at both low (~10 MeV) and medium (~1 GeV) energies. In the low energy regime, the planned DUNE experiment will attempt to observe neutrinos from a nearby core-collapse supernova using liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs). Unlike other large neutrino detectors, which are primarily sensitive to electron antineutrinos, DUNE will observe mostly charged current absorptions of electron neutrinos 40Ar in response to a supernova, providing a unique window into the physics of stellar collapse. Despite the importance of low-energy neutrino-nucleus reactions to DUNE's supernova physics goals, prior to the work presented in this thesis, no thorough consideration of the many possible final states generated by neutrino-argon scattering, including those involving the emission of nucleons or heavier nuclear fragments, had yet been attempted in the literature for the energy range of interest for supernova neutrinos. To aid DUNE's supernova physics program, this thesis presents a detailed theoretical model of low-energy neutrino-argon scattering. This model has been implemented within a new event generator called MARLEY (Model of Argon Reaction Low Energy Yields)which may be used to simulate realistic 40Arnu (v e, e−) 40K* events for LArTPC supernova neutrino sensitivity studies. At medium energies, large theoretical uncertainties in predictions of neutrino-induced neutron production present a problem for precision neutrino oscillation experiments, attempts to discover the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background, and searches for proton decay. To constrain the widely-varying predictions of current nuclear models, the Accelerator Neutrino Neutron Interaction Experiment (ANNIE) collaboration plans to make a systematic measurement of neutron production by neutrino interactions in water. Because the ANNIE experimental hall is located only 100m away from the Fermilab Booster Neutrino Beam target, background neutrons correlated in time with the beam could potentially interfere with this proposed measurement. As a first step toward ANNIE's ultimate physics goals, this thesis presents ananalys is of background neutron rates as a function of position within the ANNIE detector. These rates are found to be small enough for the neutron yield measurements to proceed as planned.

This book was released on 2008-05-02 with total page 851 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive textbook on the quantum mechanics of identical particles includes a wealth of valuable experimental data, in particular recent results from direct knockout reactions directly related to the single-particle propagator in many-body theory. The comparison with data is incorporated from the start, making the abstract concept of propagators vivid and accessible. Results of numerical calculations using propagators or Green's functions are also presented. The material has been thoroughly tested in the classroom and the introductory chapters provide a seamless connection with a one-year graduate course in quantum mechanics. While the majority of books on many-body theory deal with the subject from the viewpoint of condensed matter physics, this book emphasizes finite systems as well and should be of considerable interest to researchers in nuclear, atomic, and molecular physics. A unified treatment of many different many-body systems is presented using the approach of self-consistent Green's functions. The second edition contains an extensive presentation of finite temperature propagators and covers the technique to extract the self-energy from experimental data as developed in the dispersive optical model.The coverage proceeds systematically from elementary concepts, such as second quantization and mean-field properties, to a more advanced but self-contained presentation of the physics of atoms, molecules, nuclei, nuclear and neutron matter, electron gas, quantum liquids, atomic Bose-Einstein and fermion condensates, and pairing correlations in finite and infinite systems, including finite temperature.

Book excerpt: The study of neutrino oscillations has necessitated a new generation of neutrino experiments that are exploring neutrino-nuclear scattering processes. We focus in particular on charged-current quasi-elastic scattering, a particularly important channel that has been extensively investigated both in the bubble-chamber era and by current experiments. Recent results have led to theoretical reexamination of this process. We review the standard picture of quasi-elastic scattering as developed in electron scattering, review and discuss experimental results, and discuss additional nuclear effects such as exchange currents and short-range correlations that may play a significant role in neutrino-nucleus scattering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of neutrinos and their interaction with matter has made many important contributions to our present knowledge of physics. This advanced text introduces neutrino physics and presents a theoretical framework for describing relativistic particles. It gives a pedagogical description of the neutrino, its properties, the standard model of electroweak interactions, and neutrino scattering from leptons and nucleons. Focusing on the role of nuclear effects, the discussion extends to various processes of quasielastic, inelastic, and deep inelastic scattering from nucleons and nuclei. Neutrino sources, detection and oscillation, along with the role of neutrinos in astrophysics and motivation for the need of physics beyond the standard model are discussed in detail. This topical book will stimulate new ideas and avenues for research, and will form a valuable resource for advanced students and researchers working in the field of neutrino physics.

Download or read book Weak Interactions in Nuclei written by Barry R. Holstein and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-14 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently a symbiotic relationship between particle and nuclear physics has developed, with techniques and ideas from one field fertilizing developments in the other. This work outlines concepts from modern particle physics important to the current understanding of nuclear physics and reviews experiments involving nuclei which have influenced the present particle physics view of the weak interaction. In his discussion, the author summarizes both past and present activity in the field and identifies areas for future work. Familiarity with quantum mechanics is assumed in the presentation of ideas in this book intended for readers at the graduate level and beyond. A major goal of Weak Interactions in Nuclei is to encourage further activity at the intersection of particle and nuclear physics, two path-breaking areas of study in modern physics.

Download or read book Identification of Nuclear Effects in Neutrino carbon Interactions at Low Three momentum Transfer written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two different nuclear-medium effects are isolated using a low three-momentum transfer subsample of neutrino-carbon scattering data from the MINERvA neutrino experiment. The observed hadronic energy in charged-current [nu][mu] interactions is combined with muon kinematics to permit separation of the quasielastic and [Delta](1232) resonance processes. First, we observe a small cross section at very low energy transfer that matches the expected screening effect of long-range nucleon correlations. Second, additions to the event rate in the kinematic region between the quasielastic and [Delta] resonance processes are needed to describe the data. The data in this kinematic region also have an enhanced population of multiproton final states. Contributions predicted for scattering from a nucleon pair have both properties; the model tested in this analysis is a significant improvement but does not fully describe the data. We present the results as a double-differential cross section to enable further investigation of nuclear models. Improved description of the effects of the nuclear environment are required by current and future neutrino oscillation experiments.
