Muon backgrounds at Super-Kamiokande, KamLAND, and CHOOZ are calculated using $\mathtt{M}\mathtt{U}\mathtt{S}\mathtt{I}\mathtt{C}$. A modified version of the Gaisser sea-level muon distribution a well-tested Monte Carlo integration method introduced. Average energy, flux, rate tabulated. Plots average energy angular distributions given. Implications for tracker design in future experiments discussed.
The international Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment (MICE), which is under construction at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL), will demonstrate principle of ionization cooling as a technique for reduction phase-space volume occupied by muon beam. channels are required Neutrino Factory and Collider. MICE evaluate in detail performance single lattice cell Feasibility Study 2 channel. Beam has been constructed ISIS synchrotron RAL, Step I, it characterized using beam-instrumentation...
MEMPHYS (MEgaton Mass PHYSics) is a proposed large-scale water Cherenkov experiment to be performed deep underground. It dedicated nucleon decay searches, neutrinos from supernovae, solar and atmospheric neutrinos, as well future Super-Beam or Beta-Beam measure the CP violating phase in leptonic sector mass hierarchy. A full simulation of detector has been evaluate its performance for beam physics. The results are given terms ``migration matrices'' reconstructed versus true neutrino energy,...
A generation of neutrino experiments have established that neutrinos mix and probably mass. The mixing phenomenon points to processes beyond those the Standard Model, possibly at Grand Unification energy scale. extensive sequence will be required measure precisely all parameters matrix, culminating with discovery study leptonic CP violation. As a first step, extensions conventional pion/kaon decay beams, such as off-axis beams or low-energy super-beams, been considered. These could yield...
We present the results obtained by "Triple Gauge Couplings" working group during LEP2 Workshop (1994-1995). The report concentrates on measurement of $WWγ$ and $WWZ$ couplings in $e^-e^+\to W^-W^+$ or, more generally, four-fermion production at LEP2. In addition detection new interactions bosonic sector via other channels is discussed.
A water Čerenkov detector project, of megaton scale, to be installed in the Fréjus underground site and dedicated nucleon decay, neutrinos from supernovae, solar atmospheric neutrinos, as well a super-beam and/or beta-beam coming CERN, is presented compared with competitor projects Japan USA. The performances European project are discussed, including possibility measure mixing angle $θ_{13}$ CP-violating phase $δ$.

Muon tomography is a potential non-invasive technique for internal structure scanning. It has already interesting applications in geophysics and can be used archaeological purposes. based on the measurement of muon flux after crossing studied. Differences mean density these structures imply differences detected rate given direction. Based this principle, Monte Carlo simulations represent useful tool to provide model expected angular distribution depending composition studied object, being...
