The OPERA neutrino oscillation experiment has been designed to prove the appearance of ντ in a nearly pure νμbeam (CNGS) produced at CERN and detected underground Hall C Gran Sasso Laboratory, 730 km away from source. In OPERA, τ leptons resulting interaction ντare target units called bricks made nuclear emulsion films interleaved with lead plates. contains 150000 such bricks, for total mass 1.25 kton, arranged into walls plastic scintillator strips. detector is split two identical...
NA61/SHINE (SPS Heavy Ion and Neutrino Experiment) is a multi-purpose experimental facility to study hadron production in hadron-proton, hadron-nucleus nucleus-nucleus collisions at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. It recorded first physics data with beams 2009 ion (secondary 7Be beams) 2011. has greatly profited from long development of proton sources accelerator chain as well H2 beamline North Area. The latter recently been modified also serve fragment separator needed produce Be for...
We report test beam studies of 11% the production ATLAS Tile Calorimeter modules. The modules were equipped with front-end electronics and all calibration systems planned for final detector. used muon, electron hadron beams ranging in energy from 3 to 350 GeV. Two independent showed that light yield calorimeter was ∼70pe/GeV, exceeding design goal by 40%. Electron provided a at electromagnetic scale. Over 200 cells variation response 2.4%. linearity also measured. Muon an intercalibration...

Abstract Relativistic electron-positron plasmas are ubiquitous in extreme astrophysical environments such as black-hole and neutron-star magnetospheres, where accretion-powered jets pulsar winds expected to be enriched with pairs. Their role the dynamics of is many cases believed fundamental, but their behavior differs significantly from typical electron-ion due matter-antimatter symmetry charged components. So far, our experimental inability produce large yields positrons quasi-neutral...
This document summarizes the work of Accelerator Working Group (AWG) International Scoping Study (ISS) a Future Neutrino Factory and Superbeam Facility. The main goal activity was to reach consensus on baseline design for complex, including proton driver parameters, choice target, front-end design, acceleration system decay ring geometry. Another explore commonality, if any, between those or Beta Beam facility. In general, requirements either latter facilities are less stringent than...
The next generation neutrino observatory proposed by the LBNO collaboration will address fundamental questions in particle and astroparticle physics. experiment consists of a far detector, its first stage 20 kt LAr double phase TPC magnetised iron calorimeter, situated at 2300 km from CERN near detector based on highpressure argon gas TPC. long baseline provides unique opportunity to study flavour oscillations over their 1st 2nd oscillation maxima exploring L/E behaviour, distinguishing...
In June 2012, an Expression of Interest for a long-baseline experiment (LBNO) has been submitted to the CERN SPSC. LBNO considers three types neutrino detector technologies: double-phase liquid argon (LAr) TPC and magnetised iron as far detectors. For near detector, high-pressure gas embedded in calorimeter magnet is baseline design. A mandatory milestone concrete prototyping effort towards envisioned large-scale detectors, accompanying campaign measurements aimed at assessing associated...
