Neutrino-induced muons observed with MINOS
نویسنده
چکیده
The Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) experiment’s Far Detector has been operational since July 2003, taking cosmic ray and atmospheric neutrino data from its location in the Soudan Mine Underground Lab. Numerous neutrino-induced muons have been observed. The detector’s magnetic field allows the first determination by a large underground detector of muon charge and thus neutrino versus anti-neutrino on an event by event basis.

Testing Flavor Changing Neutrino Interactions in Long Baseline Experiments
We have investigated the possibility of discerning mass from flavor changing neutrino interactions induced νμ → ντ oscillations in the long baseline neutrino experiments K2K and MINOS. We have found that for virtually any value of the flavor conserving parameter ǫ it will be possible to, independently, distinguish these two mechanisms at K2K, if the flavor changing parameter ǫ is in the range ǫ...
متن کاملAtmospheric neutrino induced muons in the MACRO detector
A measurement of the flux of neutrino-induced muons using the MACRO detector is presented. Different event topologies, corresponding to different neutrino parent energies can be detected. The upward throughgoing muon sample is the larger event sample. For this sample, produced by neutrinos having an average energy around 100 GeV, the ratio of the number of observed to expected events integrated...
متن کاملInitial Results for Electron-Neutrino Appearance in MINOS
MINOS is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment designed to make precision measurements of the neutrino mixing parameters associated with the atmospheric neutrino mass splitting. Using a neutrino beam from the Main Injector (NuMI) facility at Fermilab, it compares the neutrino energy spectrum for neutrino interactions observed in two large detectors located at Fermilab and in the Souda...
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillation Studies with MINOS
The MINOS experiment observes the νμ beam produced by the Main Injector accelerator at two detector stations, one 1 km and the other 735 km from the neutrino production target. From the disappearance of neutrinos in flight between the two detectors, we measure the neutrino oscillation parameters ∆m 23 and sin(2θ23) and update our previously published result. Additionally, we have searched for e...
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillation Results from MINOS and MiniBooNE
After a brief introduction to neutrino oscillations and a review of the world knowledge of neutrino oscillation parameters, we introduce two current neutrino oscillation experiments, MINOS and MiniBooNE. MINOS makes precise measurements of the oscillation parameters |∆m 32 |and sin(2θ23). MiniBooNE tests neutrino oscillations in the parameter region reported by the LSND experiment, which would ...
