Experience From OPERA

The OPERA experiment aims at observing the ν τ appearance from the CNGS ν µ beam. The ν τ CC interactions are identified by reconstructing the τ decay topology using an Emulsion Cloud Chamber (ECC). OPERA is the first experiment to use emulsion at an industrial scale. It could therefore serve as a model for a future neutrino detector for the so called silver channel of a neutrino factory.

In-hive Pesticide Exposome: Assessing risks to migratory honey bees from in-hive pesticide contamination in the Eastern United States

This study measured part of the in-hive pesticide exposome by analyzing residues from live in-hive bees, stored pollen, and wax in migratory colonies over time and compared exposure to colony health. We summarized the pesticide burden using three different additive methods: (1) the hazard quotient (HQ), an estimate of pesticide exposure risk, (2) the total number of pesticide residues, and (3) ...

The OPERA Experiment

OPERA(Oscillation Project with EmulsiontRacking Apparatus) is a new detector concept, iron(lead)emulsion for a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. This experiment would perform an appearance search for υμ−υτ oscillation in the parameter region indicated by the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. OPERA can run at the Gran Sasso Laboratory in the proposed NGS (Neutrino to Gran Sasso) Beam fr...
