Nuclear model effects in Charged Current neutrino–nucleus quasielastic scattering
The quasielastic scattering of muon neutrinos on oxygen 16 and carbon 12 targets is studied for neutrino energies between 200 MeV and 1 GeV, using the relativistic Fermi gas and a relativistic shell model. Final state interactions are included within the distorted wave impulse approximation. The different models are then employed to compute the inclusive charged–current quasielastic cross secti...
متن کاملThe Extended-Track Event Reconstruction for MiniBooNE
The Booster Neutrino Experiment (MiniBooNE) searches for νμ → νe oscillations using the ∼1 GeV neutrino beam produced by the FNAL Booster synchrotron. The array of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) lining the MiniBooNE detector records Cherenkov and scintillation photons from the charged particles produced in neutrino interactions. We describe a maximum likelihood fitting algorithm used to reconstru...
متن کامل30TH INTERNATIONAL COSMIC RAY CONFERENCE MINOS Observations of Shadowing in the Muon Flux Underground
A high significance observation of two muon signals, the shadow of the sun and moon, have been seen by the 5.4 kt MINOS Far Detector, at a depth of 2070 mwe. The distribution of angular separation of muons near the moon was well described by a Gaussian, which was used to determine the angular resolution (0.34◦ ± 0.07◦) and pointing (0.3◦ ± 0.05◦) of the detector. Introduction & Motivation The M...
متن کاملRamifications of intranuclear re-scattering in MINOS
MINOS will measure the composition of a νμ beam at two locations, 735 km apart, in an effort confirm the (atmospheric) neutrino oscillation hypothesis and measure the mixing parameters ∆m223 and sin 2 (2θ23). Oscillations will be manifested as a difference in the rate and energy spectrum of νμ−CC interactions measured in the two detectors. Because most interactions observed in MINOS are inelast...
متن کاملCC1π to CCQE cross sections ratio at accelerator energies
MiniBooNE and K2K collaborations have recently reported the ratio for the νμ induced charge current 1π + production cross section to the charged current induced quasielastic lepton production cross section i.e. R(E) = σ CC1π+ σCCQE . In this paper we study, theoretically, in a local density approximation the effect of nuclear medium in charged current quasielastic(CCQE) and charged current one ...
متن کاملHow 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...
