How to do a nue->numu measurement in a MINOS-like Detector
Magnetized steel-scintillator tracking calorimeter detector has been considered as a candidate of detectors to study νe → νμ oscillation (“golden”) channel in a Neutrino Factory. The MINOS detector is based on the technology and has been observing atmospheric neutrinos since 2003, as well as beam neutrinos since 2005. The performance of muon neutrino detection by the MINOS detector is discussed...
متن کاملTesting of Hamamatsu R5900-00-M64 Multi-Pixel PMTs for MINOS
The MINOS long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment is comprised of three calorimeters, a Near Detector at FNAL, a Far Detector at the Soudan mine in northern Minnesota, and a Calibration Detector in a test beam at CERN. The light produced in the interactions of neutrinos in the Near Detector at FNAL will be routed by optical fibres onto the pixels of Hamamatsu R5900-00-M64 multi-anode phot...
متن کاملOff – axis Beams and Detector Clusters : Resolving Neutrino Parameter Degeneracies
There are three parameter degeneracies inherent in the three–neutrino analysis of long–baseline neutrino experiments. We develop a systematic method for determining whether or not a set of measurements in neutrino oscillation appearance experiments with approximately monoenergetic beams can completely resolve these ambiguities. We then use this method to identify experimental scenarios in which...
متن کاملMINOS and CPT violating neutrinos
We review the status of CPT violation in the neutrino sector. Apart from LSND, current data favors three flavors of light stable neutrinos and antineutrinos, with both halves of the spectrum having one smaller mass splitting and one larger mass splitting. Oscillation data for the smaller splitting is consistent with CPT . For the larger splitting, current data favor an antineutrino mass-squared...

متن کاملThe Magnetized Steel and Scintillator Calorimeters of the Minos Experiment
The Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) experiment uses an acceleratorproduced neutrino beam to perform precision measurements of the neutrino oscillation parameters in the “atmospheric neutrino” sector associated with muon neutrino disappearance. This long-baseline experiment measures neutrino interactions in Fermilab’s NuMI neutrino beam with a near detector at Fermilab and agai...
