A Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) physics program of three LAr-TPC detectors located along the Booster Beam (BNB) at Fermilab is presented. This new SBN Program will deliver a rich and compelling opportunity, including ability to resolve class experimental anomalies in neutrino perform most sensitive search date for sterile neutrinos eV mass-scale through both appearance disappearance oscillation channels. Using data sets 6.6e20 protons on target (P.O.T.) LAr1-ND ICARUS T600 plus 13.2e20...
The neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF features a white source produced by spallation through 20GeV/c protons impinging on lead target. facility, aiming primarily at the measurement of neutron-induced reaction cross sections, was operating CERN between 2001 and 2004, then underwent major upgrade in 2008. This paper presents detail all characteristics new beam currently available configurations, which correspond to two different collimation systems choices moderator. discussed include...
Abstract The ICARUS liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) neutrino detector has been taking physics data since 2022 as part of the Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) Program. This paper details equalization response to charge in (TPC), well data-driven tuning simulation ionization signals and electronics noise. procedure removes non-uniformities TPC space time. work leverages copious number cosmic ray muons available at surface. signal shape applies a novel that tunes match what is...
The ICARUS collaboration employed the 760-ton T600 detector in a successful 3-year physics run at underground LNGS laboratory, performing sensitive search for LSND-like anomalous νe appearance CERN Neutrino to Gran Sasso beam, which contributed constraints on allowed neutrino oscillation parameters narrow region around 1 eV2. After significant overhaul CERN, has been installed Fermilab. In 2020 cryogenic commissioning began with cool down, liquid argon filling and recirculation. then started...
The CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to collide proton beams of unprecedented energy, in order extend the frontiers high-energy particle physics. During first very successful running period 2010--2013, LHC was routinely storing protons at 3.5--4 TeV with a total beam energy up 146 MJ, and even higher stored energies are foreseen future. This puts extraordinary demands on control losses. An un-controlled loss tiny fraction could cause superconducting magnet undergo transition into...
Fast neutrons from cosmic-ray muons are an important background to underground low-energy experiments. The estimate of such a is often hampered by the difficulty measuring and calculating neutron production with sufficient accuracy. Indeed substantial disagreement exists between different analytical calculations performed so far, while data reported experiments not always consistent. We discuss new unified approach yield, energy spectrum, multiplicity, angular distribution cosmic using Monte...
A high-resolution measurement of the neutron-induced fission cross section $^{234}\mathrm{U}$ and $^{237}\mathrm{Np}$ has been performed at CERN Neutron Time-of-Flight facility. The sections have determined in a wide energy range from 1 eV to GeV using evaluated $^{235}\mathrm{U}$ as reference. In these measurements determination for resonances could be improved, whereas previous discrepancies were confirmed. New cross-section data are provided high neutron energies that go beyond limits...

Purpose: The calculation of patient‐specific dose distribution can be achieved by Monte Carlo simulations or analytical methods. In this study, fluka code has been considered for use in nuclear medicine dosimetry. Up to now, mainly dedicated other fields, namely high energy physics, radiation protection, and hadrontherapy. When first employing a dosimetry, its results concerning electron transport at energies typical applications need verified. This is commonly means representative parameter...
