  10. 118. $\nu$PRISM: A new way of probing neutrino interactions
    Dr Mark Scott (TRIUMF)
    25/08/2014, 14:30
    In both neutrino interaction and neutrino oscillation measurements the rate of events you observe directly depends on the energy of the incident neutrino. Unfortunately this energy cannot be measured directly, and experiments rely instead on the outgoing lepton and observed nucleons. To translate these observables into a neutrino energy we must assume knowledge of the neutrino interaction and...

  12. 90. The search for CLF violation in the MEG & MEG II experiments
    Francesco Tenchini (I)
    25/08/2014, 14:30
    Within the scope of the Standard Model, the $\mu\to e+\gamma$ decay is forbidden by lepton flavor conservation. Several lepton flavor violating extensions of the Standard Model however predict a measurable $\mu\to e+\gamma$ branching ratio. The MEG experiment at PSI presently holds the current best experimental limit for this decay ($5.7\times10^{-13}$ at 90% CL) and is currently being...

    Moritz Kiehn (Heidelberg University)
    25/08/2014, 15:00
    The Mu3e experiment searches for the lepton flavor violating decay μ$\,\to\,$eee aiming for a sensitivity of better than 1 in 10$^{16}$ decays, a four order of magnitude improvement over the previous search by the SINDRUM experiment. This sensitivity is achieved by a novel experimental design based on thin monolithic active silicon pixel detectors and scintillating fibres and tiles. In this...

    Xiao Luo (Boston University)
    26/08/2014, 11:00
    The goal of the MuSun experiment at PSI is to measure the rate of muon capture on the deuteron with a precision of 1.5%. This rate will be used to fix the low-energy constant that describes the two-nucleon weak axial current in Chiral perturbation theory. It will therefore calibrate evaluations of solar proton-proton fusion and neutrino-deuteron scattering(SNO experiment). MuSun forms part of...

    Raquel Castillo (IFAE)
    26/08/2014, 11:00
    Understanding neutrino interaction cross section with nuclei has become a limiting factor for running and future neutrino oscillations experiments. As part of the effort of improving oscillation results, the near detector of the T2K experiment (ND280) has performed several measurements of neutrino cross-sections with nuclei at neutrino energies from ~500 MeV to few GeV. Most recent results on...

  34. 128. Status of muon neutrino cross section measurements with the T2K on-axis detectors
    Mr Kento Suzuki (Kyoto University)
    26/08/2014, 11:25
    The Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K) experiment is designed to measure neutrino oscillation parameters. It uses an almost pure muon neutrino ($\nu_\mu$) beam that originates at J-PARC. INGRID consists with 14 independent modules (7 vertical and 7 horizontal modules) , each of which are composed of iron plates and scintillator planes. The modules make up a cross-shape with center on beam-axis. It...

  35. 51. The MUSE Experiment: Studying the Proton Radius Puzzle with $\mu p$ Elastic Scattering
    Katherine MESICK (Rutgers University)
    26/08/2014, 11:30
    The Proton Radius Puzzle refers to the disagreement between the proton charge radius as determined from muonic hydrogen and the radius determined from atomic hydrogen level transitions and $ep$ elastic scattering form factor data. The discrepancy of $\sim 7\sigma$ is not yet explained, and though numerous resolutions have been proposed there is no generally accepted resolution to the...

    Davide Sgalaberna (Eidgenoessische Tech. Hochschule Zuerich (CH))
    26/08/2014, 11:50
    The largest source of uncertainty on the initial neutrino flux in modern accelerator neutrino experiments is the poor knowledge on the production of hadrons that decay into neutrinos. T2K is a long baseline neutrino experiment that aims to precisely measure the parameters of the PMNS matrix via the $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_e$ appearance and $\nu_{\mu}$ disappearance as well as to look for the...

  39. 81. Measurement of the hyperfine splitting energy of the ground-state muonic hydrogen
    Katsuhiko ISHIDA (RIKEN)
    26/08/2014, 12:00
    A new measurement is planned to precisely determine the muonic proton hyperfine splitting energy with laser spectroscopy by using the intense pulsed muon beam at RIKEN-RAL or J-PARC. A tunable intense mid infra-red laser will be used to cause the hyperfine transition. With circularly polarized laser at the resonant energy, we expect to create observable muon spin polarization in the...

    Yohei Nakatsugawa (KEK)
    26/08/2014, 14:00
    The charged Lepton Flavor Violation (cLFV) is a clear evidence of the new physics beyond the Standard Model, and $\mu-e$ conversion is considered as one of the most powerful probes to search for cLFV. DeeMe is a new experiment to search for $\mu-e$ conversion at J-PARC Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF). This experiment will be carried out at a brand-new beamline (H Line)...

    Susan Cartwright (Department of Physics)
    26/08/2014, 14:30
    T2K has published oscillation measurements for $\nu_\mu$ disappearance and for $\nu_e$ appearance. Both of these rely on energy measurements in the Super-Kamiokande far detector. In this talk, I shall discuss the Super-K energy measurement, its calibration and its systematics, for both muons and electrons. I shall also briefly discuss energy measurement in the ND280 near detector.

  47. 84. Status of the New Muonium HFS Experiment at J-PARC/MUSE
    Dr Patrick Strasser (KEK)
    26/08/2014, 14:30
    At the J-PARC Muon Science Facility (MUSE), we are now planning a new measurement of the ground state hyperfine structure (HFS) of muonium. High precison measurements of muonium HFS is the most sensitive tool for testing QED theory. Fundamental constants of the muon mass and magnetic moment are currently determined by the previous muonium HFS experiment at LAMPF. The new high intensity muon...

    Phillip Litchfield (U)
    26/08/2014, 15:00
    The AlCap experiment is a joint project between the COMET and Mu2e collaborations. Both experiments intend to look for the lepton-flavour violating conversion $\mu + A \rightarrow e + A$, using tertiary muons from high-power pulsed proton beams. In these experiments the products of ordinary muon capture in the muon stopping target are a important concern, both in terms of hit rates in...

    Current and future high precision neutrino oscillation experiments try to measure outgoing hadrons on top of leading leptons. For example, such hadron measurement allows to perform a better energy-momentum reconstruction of neutrinos. For this purpose, precise simulation of hadron production is necessary. Traditionally, PYTHIA6 is used to simulate the hadronization processes, but the agreement...

    During the last two years, there has been some confusion in the field on how to assess the sensitivity of future neutrino oscillation experiments to the neutrino mass ordering. A factor of two difference to the common approach has been proposed. We resolve the situation by going back to the basic statistical definitions and apply the results to compare future possibilities of experiments...

    An important number of neutrino scattering experiments involve nuclei as targets. Many of these experiments are placed at the intermediate energy regime (from hundreds of MeV to a few GeV) where the quasi-elastic (QE) scattering process is one of the dominant channels in the reaction mechanism. Some examples are MiniBooNE, Miner$\nu$a, NOMAD and T2K experiments. We have analysed elastic...

    The T2K experiment has searched for electron-neutrino disappearance in a electron-neutrino flux at short base-line due to oscillation to sterile neutrinos. The reactor and gallium anomalies, not explinable by the three neutrino framework and compatible with the hypothesis of a new mass eigenstate of $\sim 1eV^2$, are tested with the near detector (ND280) of T2K. At $280$m from the hadron...

    28/08/2014, 14:25
    In an attempt to better utilize the existing accelerator complex, we revisit the idea of using the Debuncher as a storage ring for muons. As it stands now, the accelerator complex providing beam to the New Muon g-2 Experiment will deliver 6x10-6 stored muons/POT. Our initial estimates show that Neutrino cross-sections can be measured to better than 10% using a detector positioned...
