1 Near Muon Range Detector for the K 2 K Experiment - Construction and Performance -
نویسندگان
چکیده
A muon range detector (MRD) has been constructed as a near detector for the KEK-to-Kamioka long-baseline neutrino experiment (K2K). It monitors the neutrino beam properties at the near site by measuring the energy, angle and production point of muons produced by charged-current neutrino interaction. The detector has been working stably since the start of the K2K experiment.

The T2K neutrino experiment at J-PARC uses a set of near detectors to measure the properties of an unoscillated neutrino beam and neutrino interaction cross-sections. One of the sub-detectors of the near-detector complex, the side muon range detector (SMRD), is described in the paper. The detector is designed to help measure the neutrino energy spectrum, to identify background and to calibrate ...

We describe the construction and performance of a scintillating fiber detector used in the near detector for the K2K (KEK to Kamioka, KEK E362) long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. The detector uses 3.7 m long and 0.692 mm diameter scintillating fiber coupled to image-intensifier tubes (IIT), and a CCD camera readout system. Fiber sheet production and detector construction began in 19...

For neutrino-beam production, 12-GeV protons from the KEK proton synchrotron (PS) are extracted in a 1.1μs spill every 2.2seconds. The proton beam is bent to the Kamioka direction, and hits an aluminum target embedded in the first horn. A pair of horn magnets focuses positively charged particles, mainly positive pions produced in the proton-aluminum interaction. A pion monitor[3] is occasionall...
متن کاملMuon identification in the Belle experiment at KEKB
This paper describes the muon identification method and its performance in the Belle experiment at KEKB. Muon and hadron likelihood are calculated for each track using its range and transverse scattering in the KL-and-muon detector (KLM). We apply a cut on the normalized muon likelihood Lm to identify the track as a muon. Above the detection threshold of 0:6 GeV=c; the measured muon detection e...

The T2K experiment studies oscillations of an off-axis muon neutrino beam between the J-PARC accelerator complex and the Super-Kamiokande detector. Special emphasis is placed on measuring the mixing angle θ13 by observing νe appearance via the sub-dominant νμ → νe oscillation and searching for CP violation in the lepton sector. The experiment includes a sophisticated, off-axis, near detector, t...
