Supernova / Acceleration Probe: A Satellite Experiment to Study the Nature of the Dark Energy
SNAP Collaboration, G. Aldering, W. Althouse +109
The Supernova / Acceleration Probe (SNAP) is a proposed space-based experiment designed to study the dark energy and alternative explanations of the acceleration of the Universe's…
First measurement of electron neutrino appearance in NOvA
P. Adamson, C. Ader, M. Andrews +257
We report results from the first search for transitions by the NOvA experiment. In an exposure equivalent to protons-on-target in the upgraded Nu…
Liquid scintillator production for the NOvA experiment
S. Mufson, B. Baugh, C. Bower +8
The NOvA collaboration blended and delivered 8.8 kt (2.72M gal) of liquid scintillator as the active detector medium to its near and far detectors. The composition of this scintill…
First measurement of muon-neutrino disappearance in NOvA
P. Adamson, C. Ader, M. Andrews +257
This paper reports the first measurement using the NOvA detectors of disappearance in a beam. The analysis uses a 14 kton-equivalent exposure of $2.74 \times 10^{20…
A Search for Lorentz Invariance and CPT Violation with the MINOS Far Detector
MINOS Collaboration, P. Adamson, D. J. Auty +130
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…
Measurement of the Cosmic-Ray Antiproton to Proton Abundance Ratio between 4 and 50 GeV
A. S. Beach, J. J. Beatty, A. Bhattacharyya +13
We present a new measurement of the antiproton to proton abundance ratio, pbar/p, in the cosmic radiation. The HEAT-pbar instrument, a balloon borne magnet spectrometer with precis…
New Measurement of the Cosmic-Ray Positron Fraction from 5 to 15 GeV
J. J. Beatty, A. Bhattacharyya, C. Bower +12
We present a new measurement of the cosmic-ray positron fraction at energies between 5 and 15 GeV with the balloon-borne HEAT-pbar instrument in the spring of 2000. The data presen…
