T2K Beam Misalignment Monte Carlo Studies at the Near Detector
نویسندگان
چکیده
The T2K neutrino oscillation experiment is scheduled to begin commissioning in 2009. The experiment uses a simulation of the neutrino beam to produce predictions of the relationship between observed events in the near (control) detector and the far detector, Super-Kamiokande. This correction is affected by the alignment of the proton beam on the target. We report on the results of a simulation-based study of special studies with the near neutrino detectors which could be used to measure this alignment in situ.

Latest results from T2K and T2K Phase II
T2K is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment using a νμ beam produced at the J-PARC facility. Neutrinos are detected at a Near Detector complex (ND280) and at the Far Detector (Super-Kamiokande). The most recent oscillation results presented by T2K are described in these proceedings. With these data T2K has produced the first constraints on δCP, excluding CP conserving values at 2σ an...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Determination of Full Energy Peak Efficiency for HPGe Detector and Self-Absorption Correction of Environmental Samples
The Monte Carlo method was used to determine full energy efficiency of a high-purity germanium (HPGe) coaxial detector within an energy range of 53.2-2614 keV. Also, measurement was carried out for a standard Marinelli beaker of 600cm3, which was placed into the reference material of mixed gamma. The plot of the experimentally derived effic...

متن کاملSmall photon field dosimetry using EBT2 Gafchromic film and Monte Carlo simulation
Background: Small photon fields are increasingly used in modern radiotherapy especially in intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) treatments. Accurate beam profile and central axis depth doses measurements of such beams are complicated due to the electron disequilibrium. Hence the EBT2 (external beam therapy) Gafchromic film was used for dosimetry of sm...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo Study for Photoneutron Dose Estimations around the High-Energy Linacs
Background: High-energy linear accelerator (linac) is a valuable tool and the most commonly device for external beam radiation treatments in cancer patients. In the linac head, high-energy photons with energies above the threshold of interaction produce photoneutrons. These photoneutrons deliver the extra dose to the patients in the planning treatment and increase the risk of secondary cancer.O...
