NESTOR - First physics results from 4000m below sea level

by Leonidas Resvanis (Univ. of Athens / NESTOR Institute for Astroparticle Physics)

Tuesday 16 Dec 2003, 16:30 → 17:30 Europe/Zurich

500/1-001 - Main Auditorium (CERN)

Following the successful deployment last March of a NESTOR floor, equipped with twelve large size (15 inch) photo-multipliers at a depth of 4000 m, connected by an umbilical electro-optical cable to shore, we report on the operation, detector performance, data taking, track reconstruction and angular distribution measurements. Features of the chosen detector layout and of the deployment site will be discussed.

Organiser(s): Rolf Landua / EP Division

Note: Tea & coffee will be served at 16:00 hrs.
