Supernova Relic Neutrino Search with Neutron Tagging at Super-Kamiokande-IV
A search for Supernova Relic Neutrinos ν̄e’s is first conducted via inverse-beta-decay by tagging neutron capture on hydrogen at Super-Kamiokande-IV. The neutron tagging efficiency is determined to be (17.74 ± 0.04stat. ± 1.05sys.)%, while the corresponding accidental background probability is (1.06 ± 0.01stat. ± 0.18sys.)%. Using 960 days of data, we obtain 13 inverse-beta-decay candidates in t...
متن کاملSearch for magnetic monopoles with nuclear track detectors
This paper describes an experimental search for GUT magnetic monopoles in the MACRO experiment using the nuclear track subdetector CR39. After discussing the working principle, the charge resolution and the calibration of the detector, the experimental procedure for searching for magnetic monopoles is described. Since no candidates were found, the upper flux limits obtained by the MACRO CR39 us...
متن کاملOn search for eV hidden sector photons in Super-Kamiokande and CAST experiments
If light hidden sector photons (γs) exist, they could be produced through kinetic mixing with solar photons in the eV energy range. We propose to search for this hypothetical γ-flux with the Super-Kamiokande and/or upgraded CAST detectors. The proposed experiments are sensitive to the γ − γ mixing strength as small as 10 & χ & 10 for the γ mass region 10 . mγ′ . 10 −1 eV and, in the case of non...
متن کاملSolar Neutrino Results from Super-Kamiokande
Super-Kamiokande has measured the solar neutrino flux using elastic neutrino-electron scattering in water. The measured flux is 2.32 ± 0.03(stat) −0.07(syst)×10 /(cms) based on the energy range of 5 to 20 MeV for the recoiling electron. The time-dependence and energy spectrum of the recoiling electrons were studied to search for two-neutrino oscillation signatures. The absence of either signifi...
متن کاملar X iv : 0 90 7 . 15 94 v 1 [ as tr o - ph . H E ] 9 J ul 2 00 9 Search for Astrophysical Neutrino Point Sources at Super - Kamiokande
It has been hypothesized that large fluxes of neutrinos may be created in astrophysical “cosmic accelerators.” The primary background for a search for astrophysical neutrinos comes from atmospheric neutrinos, which do not exhibit the pointlike directional clustering that characterizes a distant astrophysical signal. We perform a search for neutrino point sources using the upward-going muon data...
