Forward neutron production at the Fermilab Main Injector
(American Physical Society (APS), 2011)We have measured cross sections for forward neutron production from a variety of targets using proton beams from the Fermilab Main Injector. Measurements were performed for proton beam momenta of 58, 84, and 120 GeV/c. ... -
Improved Search for Muon-Neutrino to Electron-Neutrino Oscillations in MINOS
(American Physical Society (APS), 2011)We report the results of a search for νe appearance in a νμ beam in the MINOS long-baseline neutrino experiment. With an improved analysis and an increased exposure of 8.2×1020 protons on the NuMI target at Fermilab, we ... -
Long-Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiments
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2013)A review of accelerator long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments is provided, including all experiments performed to date and the projected sensitivity of those currently in progress. Accelerator experiments have ... -
Measurement of charged pion production yields off the NuMI target
(American Physical Society (APS), 2014)The fixed-target Main Injector Particle Production (MIPP) experiment, Fermilab E907, was designed to measure the production of hadrons from the collisions of hadrons of momenta ranging from 5 to 120 GeV/c on a variety of ... -
Neutrino and antineutrino inclusive charged-current cross section measurements with the MINOS near detector
(American Physical Society (APS), 2010)The energy dependence of the neutrino-iron and antineutrino-iron inclusive charged-current cross sections and their ratio have been measured using a high-statistics sample with the MINOS near detector exposed to the NuMI ... -
New constraints on muon-neutrino to electron-neutrino transitions in MINOS
(American Physical Society (APS), 2010)This paper reports results from a search for νμ→νe transitions by the MINOS experiment based on a 7×1020 protons-on-target exposure. Our observation of 54 candidate νe events in the far detector with a background of ... -
Search for flavor-changing non-standard neutrino interactions by MINOS
(American Physical Society (APS), 2013)We report new constraints on flavor-changing non-standard neutrino interactions from the MINOS experiment, in which neutrino versus antineutrino interactions can be distinguished on an event-by-event basis. We analyzed a ... -
Search for Lorentz Invariance and CPT Violation with the MINOS Far Detector
(American Physical Society (APS), 2010)We searched for a sidereal modulation in the MINOS far detector neutrino rate. Such a signal would be a consequence of Lorentz and CPT violation as described by the standard-model extension framework. It also would be the ... -
Search for sterile neutrino mixing in the MINOS long-baseline experiment
(American Physical Society (APS), 2010)A search for depletion of the combined flux of active neutrino species over a 735 km baseline is reported using neutral-current interaction data recorded by the MINOS detectors in the NuMI neutrino beam. Such a depletion ... -
Search for the disappearance of muon antineutrinos in the NuMI neutrino beam
(American Physical Society (APS), 2011)We report constraints on antineutrino oscillation parameters that were obtained by using the two MINOS detectors to measure the 7% muon antineutrino component of the NuMI neutrino beam. In the Far Detector, we select 130 ...
