Description
Neutrino Scattering Physics
MicroBooNE is a liquid argon time projection chamber in the Booster Neutrino Beam at Fermilab. The large event rate and 3 mm wire spacing of the detector provide high-statistics, precise-resolution imaging of neutrino interactions leading to low-threshold, high-efficiency event reconstruction with full angular coverage. As such, this is an ideal place to probe neutrino-argon interactions in...
In 2016, NA61/SHINE, a fixed target experiment at the CERN SPS, recorded interactions of 60 GeV/$c$ $\pi^+$ with thin carbon and beryllium targets. Three analyses were performed to measure total cross sections and doubly differential cross sections of produced hadrons. A total cross section analysis was used to determine the total production and total inelastic cross sections for the two...
Standard-Model predicted coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering is interesting for measuring neutrino properties but is not yet detected for reactor neutrinos. For this measurement, we will use an array of NaI[Tl] crystals which show advantages for high light yields as a low threshold detector. The Hanbit reactor site in Korea provides 2.8 GW of thermal power and neutrino flux at...
Elastic neutrino-electron scattering provides an important tool for normalizing neutrino flux in modern experiments. This process is subject to large radiative corrections. We determine the Fermi effective theory performing the one-loop matching to the Standard model at the electroweak scale with subsequent running down to low energies. Based on this theory, we analytically evaluate virtual...
Neutral Current Quasi Elastic interactions (NCQE) of atmospheric neutrinos with 16O is a source of irreducible background for Supernova Relic Neutrinos (SRN) searches in water Cherenkov detectors like Super Kamiokande.
To get a better understanding of this background, T2K measures NCQE cross section via gamma rays emitted by 16O de-exciting after its interaction with a neutrino. However,...
