Use of Coulomb scattering for determining neutrino energies with MACRO
نویسنده
چکیده
An estimate of the energy of neutrino-induced muons in MACRO is provided by a multiple Coulomb scattering measurement. The MACRO original upward-muon data sample has been subdivided according to the reconstructed muon energy. Data in each subset are then compared with expected fluxes from atmospheric neutrinos. The results are interpreted in terms of neutrino oscillations.

New MACRO results on atmospheric neutrino oscillations
The final results of the MACRO experiment on atmospheric neutrino oscillations are presented and discussed. The data concern different event topologies with average neutrino energies of ∼ 3 and ∼ 50 GeV. Multiple Coulomb Scattering of the high energy muons in absorbers was used to estimate the neutrino energy of each event. The angular distributions, the L/Eν distribution, the particle ratios a...

متن کاملMACRO results on atmospheric neutrinos
We discuss the final results of the MACRO experiment on atmospheric neutrino oscillations. The data concern event topologies with average neutrino energies of ∼ 3 and ∼ 50 GeV. Multiple Coulomb Scattering of the high energy muons was used to estimate the neutrino energy event by event. The angular distributions, the L/Eν distribution, the particle ratios and the absolute fluxes all favor νμ → ν...
متن کاملAtmospheric Neutrino Oscillations in Macro
In this paper we first give a short overview of the MACRO detector which was operational at the Gran Sasso Laboratory from 1989 till the end of 2000. Then we present and discuss the results on atmospheric muon neutrino oscillations, concerning medium (∼ 4 GeV) and high (∼ 50 GeV) energy data. Using the Multiple Coulomb Scattering of muons inside the lower part of the detector, estimates of neut...
متن کاملAtmospheric neutrino oscillations with MACRO
We present the latest results on the study of atmospheric neutrino oscillations with the MACRO detector at Gran Sasso. Two sub-samples of events have been analysed, both in terms of absolute flux and zenith angle distribution: high energy events (with 〈Eν〉 ≃ 50 GeV) and low energy events (with 〈Eν〉 ≃ 4 GeV). The high energy sample has been used also to check the νμ ↔ νsterile oscillation hypoth...
