OPERA实验:直接观测$ν_μ\to ν_τ$振荡的途径

The OPERA experiment: on the way to the direct observation of $ν_μ\to ν_τ$ oscillation

M. De Serio

摘要:

OPERA(\emph{O} scillation \emph{P} roject with \emph{E} mulsion t \emph{R} acking \emph{A} peptide)是一项长基线中微子实验,旨在利用\emph{C} ERN \emph{N}中微子到\emph{G} ran \emph{S} asso(CNGS)$ν_μ$束流,首次直接证明大气中的$ν_μ\to ν_τ$振荡。该探测器由一个由铅核乳胶单元制成的模块化目标组成,并辅以电子跟踪器和μ子光谱仪,其目的是通过观察即将到来的τ轻子和随后的衰变,在所有中微子味事件中选择$\rm{ν_τ}$带电电流相互作用。在本文中,探测器,事件分析链和初步结果,从第一个OPERA物理运行的报告。

英文摘要:

OPERA (\emph{O}scillation \emph{P}roject with \emph{E}mulsion t\emph{R}acking \emph{A}pparatus) is a long-baseline neutrino experiment, designed to provide the first direct proof of $ν_μ\to ν_τ$ oscillation in the atmospheric sector using the \emph{C}ERN \emph{N}eutrinos to \emph{G}ran \emph{S}asso (CNGS) $ν_μ$ beam. The detector, consisting of a modular target made of lead - nuclear emulsion units complemented by electronic trackers and muon spectrometers, has been conceived to select $\rm{ν_τ}$ charged current interactions, among all neutrino flavour events, through the observation of the outcoming tau leptons and subsequent decays. In this paper, the detector, the event analysis chain and the preliminary results from the first OPERA physics run are reported.
