This analysis will make a measurement of the inclusive charged current anti-neutrino cross section on hydrocarbon as a function of muon kinematics. This measurement is being made with an unprecedented 1.8 million data events which have been recorded in the MINERvA detector [1]. The goal of the MINERvA experiment is to make high precision cross section measurements on various nuclei. There were...
Abstract: Water Cherenkov detectors such as Super-Kamiokande are an important detector technology for Neutrino experiments. They consist of large volumes of water surrounded by phototubes that collect Cherenkov radiation created by charged particles. The characteristic Cherenkov ring reveals the particle’s information, like the energy and direction of travel. However, the Cherenkov ring is not...
The DEAP-3600 experiment is a single-phase liquid argon dark matter experiment that uses scintillation light to look for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). In addition to the dark matter search, the detector’s properties including low background and argon medium make it a good candidate for a first observation of 8B solar neutrino charged-current interactions on 40Ar. Solar...
The NEWS-G experiment searches for low-mass dark matter candidates at SNOLAB in Sudbury, Ontario. The direct dark matter search is performed using a spherical proportional counter (SPC) filled with light atomic mass gases. NEWS-G3 is a proposed experiment that employs the same technology as the NEWS-G experiment to search for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEνNS) at a nuclear...
PICO-500 is a large scale bubble chamber WIMP dark matter detector in its early stages of construction underground at SNOLAB. The detector will contain ~250 litres of superheated C$_3$F$_8$ (freon) contained between two quartz jars. The quartz jars will sit inside a pressure vessel filled with mineral oil that will control the pressure of the active freon volume. The entire detector will be...
