Precise neutrino--nucleus interaction measurements in the sub-multi GeV region are important to reduce systematic uncertainty future neutrino oscillation experiments. Furthermore, excess of ${\nu_e}$ interactions, as a possible interpretation existence sterile has been observed such an energy region.

A new experiment, called DeeMe, which is designed to search for μ−e conversions with a sensitivity of O(10−14), in preparation at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC). It utilizes high-quality pulsed proton beam from Rapid Cycling Synchrotron J-PARC.

High-energy physics experiments must usually handle large transfer rates of experimental data. In particular, in recent years, the amount and speed data handled high-energy have significantly increased, because signal waveforms from detectors are often recorded without reduction to maximize flexibility offline analysis. To best exploit available bandwidth such acquisition systems with waveform recording, we developed real-time lossless waveform-compression firmware that is based on a...
The T2K (Tokai-to-Kamioka) is a long baseline neutrino experiment designed to study various parameters that rule oscillations, with an intense beam of muon neutrinos. A near detector complex (ND280) used constrain non-oscillated flux and hence predict the expected number events in far (Super-Kamiokande). difference target material between (water) (scintillator, hydrocarbon) detectors leads main non-canceling systematic uncertainty for oscillation analysis. In order reduce this new water grid...
