Observation of an anomalous number of dimuon events in a high energy neutrino beam.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A search for long-lived neutral particles ( N0's) with masses above 2.2 GeV/c(2) that decay into at least one muon has been performed using an instrumented decay channel at the NuTeV experiment at Fermilab. Data were examined for particles decaying into the final states mumu, mu(e), and mu(pi). Three mumu events were observed over an expected standard model background of 0.069+/-0.010 events; no events were observed in the other modes.

A search for long-lived neutral particles (N 0) which decay into at least one muon has been performed using an instrumented decay channel at the E815 (NuTeV) experiment at Fermilab. The decay channel was composed of helium bags interspersed with drift chambers, and was used in conjunction with the NuTeV neutrino detector to search for N 0 decays. The data were examined for particles decaying in...
متن کاملSame sign dimuon search for heavy majorana mass neutrinos at the CMS experiment at Cern and design studies of a quartz plate calorimeter prototype
This paper consists of two studies: the results of a search for heavy Majorana neutrinos (N) using an event signature defined by two like-sign charged muons and two jets, and the results from studies of a prototype quartz plate calorimeter. The data in the Majorana search correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.0fb−1 of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV collected with the CM...
متن کاملUPR-0780-T, hep-ph/980xxxx Neutrino Anti-Neutrino Transitions
We consider transitions between neutrinos and anti-neutrinos in laboratory experiments in five scenarios. These include the case in which the helicity flips, producing an anti-neutrino with normal weak interactions, and helicity preserving oscillations into an SU(2) singlet state which only interacts by mixing or new interactions. The ratio of μ and μ events for a high energy νμ beam from pion ...
