Neutral Current Π 0 Interactions at Miniboone

MiniBooNE, the Mini Booster Neutrino Experiment at Fermilab, will search for the appearance of electron neutrinos in a beam of muon neutrinos, and in the process will accumulate more neutrino interactions in the 0 − 2 GeV energy range than all past experiments. This work presents preliminary results from the neutral current π 0 analysis at MiniBooNE, with comparisons of the NUANCE, NEUGEN, and ...

Analysis of γ-ray production in neutral-current neutrino-oxygen interactions at energies above 200 MeV.

It has long been recognized that the observation of γ rays originating from nuclear deexcitation can be exploited to identify neutral-current neutrino-nucleus interactions in water-Cherenkov detectors. We report the results of a calculation of the neutrino- and antineutrino-induced γ-ray production cross section for the oxygen target. Our analysis is focused on the kinematical region of neutrin...

Direct evidence for neutrino flavor transformation from neutral-current interactions in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory.

Observations of neutral-current nu interactions on deuterium in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory are reported. Using the neutral current (NC), elastic scattering, and charged current reactions and assuming the standard 8B shape, the nu(e) component of the 8B solar flux is phis(e) = 1.76(+0.05)(-0.05)(stat)(+0.09)(-0.09)(syst) x 10(6) cm(-2) s(-1) for a kinetic energy threshold of 5 MeV. The non...

Solar neutrino interactions: Using charged currents at SNO to tell neutral currents at Super-Kamiokande

In the presence of flavor oscillations, muon and tau neutrinos can contribute to the Super-Kamiokande (SK) solar neutrino signal through the neutral current process νμ,τ e − → νμ,τ e. We show how to separate the νe and νμ,τ event rates in SK in a model independent way, by using the rate of the charged current process νe d → p p e from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) experiment, with an a...
