Experimental study of quasi - elastic neutrino interactions on Ar with a liquid Ar TPC exposed to the WANF neutrino beam
نویسنده
چکیده
We present results from the first exposure of a liquid Ar time projection chamber to a neutrino beam. The data have been collected in 1997 with a 50 liter ICARUS-like chamber located between the CHORUS and NOMAD experiment at the CERN West Area Neutrino Facility. We focus on the analysis of quasi-elastic interactions; despite the limited size of the detector, nuclear effects beyond Fermi motion and Pauli blocking have been observed as perturbations to the pure quasi-elastic kinematics.

Oscillation effects on supernova neutrino rates and spectra and detection of the shock breakout in a liquid Argon TPC
A liquid Argon TPC (ICARUS-like) has the ability to detect clean neutrino bursts from type-II supernova collapses. In a previous paper we have considered three detection channels: elastic scattering on electrons from all neutrino species, νe charged current absorption on Ar with production of excited K and ν̄e charged current absorption on Ar with production of excited Cl. In this paper, we stud...

A liquid Argon TPC (ICARUS-like) has the ability to detect neutrino bursts from type-II supernova collapses, via three processes: elastic scattering by electrons from all neutrino species, and νe charged current absorption on Ar with production of excited K and ν̄e charged current absorption on Ar with production of excited Cl. In this paper we have used new calculations in the random phase appr...

Neutrino oscillations have been established in solar and atmospheric neutrinos, but a third signal from the LSND experiment is incompatible with three Standard Model neutrinos. The MiniBooNE experiment can confirm or refute the LSND oscillation signal with 1 × 10 21 protons on target. While working towards the oscillation result, MiniBooNE will accumulate more than 1 × 10 6 neutrino interaction...

The purpose of the present paper is to study the neutrino properties as they may appear in the low energy neutrinos emitted in triton decay: 3 1 H → 3 2 He + e − + ˜ νe with maximum neutrino energy of 18.6 KeV. The technical challenges to this end can be summarized as building a very large TPC capable of detecting low energy recoils, down to a few 100 eV, within the required low background cons...

We present a model for neutrino-nucleus scattering in the energy region relevant for present and forthcoming neutrino-oscillation experiments. The model is based on the RPA treatment of the nuclear responses in the quasi-elastic and Delta-resonance region. It includes also in a phenomenological way nucleon knock-out. It aims at the description, within a single framework, of several final state ...
