Search for ν_μ-> ν_τoscillations in appearance mode in the OPERA experiment

Umut Kose

摘要:

在地下格兰萨索实验室(LNGS)的OPERA实验的目的是执行直接出现模式的μ中微子到τ中微子通道中的中微子振荡的第一次检测。探测器是混合型的,由乳胶/铅靶和电子探测器组成。它被放置在距离中微子源730公里的CNGS中微子束中。2008年、2009年和2010年成功进行了CNGS中微子探测。在简要描述了束流和实验装置之后,我们报告了CERN CNGS ν_μ束中对应于1.89 \times 10^{19} p. o.t.的事件样本的事件分析,该事件产生了第一个候选ν_τ CC相互作用的观察。详细描述了该候选事件的拓扑结构和运动学。解释背景来源,并评估候选人的重要性。

英文摘要:

The OPERA experiment in the underground Gran Sasso Laboratory (LNGS) has been designed to perform the first detection of neutrino oscillations in direct appearance mode in the muon neutrino to tau neutrino channel. The detector is hybrid, being made of an emulsion/lead target and of electronic detectors. It is placed in the CNGS neutrino beam 730 km away from the neutrino source. Runs with CNGS neutrinos were successfully carried out in 2008, 2009, and 2010. After a brief description of the beam and the experimental setup, we report on event analysis of a sample of events corresponding to 1.89\times 10^{19} p.o.t. in the CERN CNGS ν_μ beam that yielded the observation of a first candidate ν_τ CC interaction. The topology and kinematics of this candidate event are described in detail. The background sources are explained and the significance of the candidate is assessed.
