First observation of a tau neutrino charged current interaction with charm production in the Opera experiment

N. Agafonova, A. Alexandrov, A. Anokhina +124

An event topology with two secondary vertices compatible with the decay of short-lived particles was found in the analysis of neutrino interactions in the Opera target. The observe…

Evidence for appearance in the CNGS neutrino beam with the OPERA experiment

N. Agafonova, A. Aleksandrov, A. Anokhina +168

The OPERA experiment is designed to search for oscillations in appearance mode i.e. through the direct observation of the lepton in charged c…

Final results on neutrino oscillation parameters from the OPERA experiment in the CNGS beam

OPERA Collaboration, N. Agafonova, A. Alexandrov +124

The OPERA experiment has conclusively observed the appearance of tau neutrinos in the muon neutrino CNGS beam. Exploiting the OPERA detector capabilities, it was possible to isolat…

Updated constraints on sterile neutrino mixing in the OPERA experiment using a new identification method

N. Agafonova, A. Alexandrov, A. Anokhina +123

This paper describes a new identification method specifically designed to improve the low-energy () identification efficiency attained by enlargin…

Determination of a time-shift in the OPERA set-up using high energy horizontal muons in the LVD and OPERA detectors

N. Yu. Agafonova, P. Antonioli, V. V. Ashikhmin +87

The purpose of this work is to report the measurement of a time-shift in the OPERA set-up in a totally independent way from Time Of Flight (TOF) measurements of CNGS neutrino event…

Procedure for short-lived particle detection in the OPERA experiment and its application to charm decays

N. Agafonova, A. Anokhina, S. Aoki +135

The OPERA experiment, designed to perform the first observation of oscillations in appearance mode through the detection of the leptons produced in $Î…
