Position resolution and particle identification with the ATLAS EM calorimeter

Roberto Sacco

In the years between 2000 and 2002 several pre-series and series modules of the ATLAS EM barrel and end-cap calorimeter were exposed to electron, photon and pion beams. The perform…

The primary cosmic ray composition between 10**15 and 10**16 eV from Extensive Air Showers electromagnetic and TeV muon data

TOP Collaboration, MACRO Collaboration

The cosmic ray primary composition in the energy range between 10**15 and 10**16 eV, i.e., around the "knee" of the primary spectrum, has been studied through the combined measurem…

Atmospheric neutrino oscillations from upward throughgoing muon multiple scattering in MACRO

The MACRO Collaboration

The energy of atmospheric neutrinos detected by MACRO was estimated using multiple coulomb scattering of upward throughgoing muons. This analysis allows a test of atmospheric neutr…

The Search for the Sidereal and Solar Diurnal Modulations in the Total MACRO Muon Data Set

The MACRO Collaboration, M. Ambrosio

We have analyzed 44.3M single muons collected by MACRO from 1991 through 2000 in 2,145 live days of operation. We have searched for the solar diurnal, apparent sidereal, and pseudo…

Search for Nucleon Decays induced by GUT Magnetic Monopoles with the MACRO Experiment

The MACRO Collaboration

The interaction of a Grand Unification Magnetic Monopole with a nucleon can lead to a barion-number violating process in which the nucleon decays into a lepton and one or more meso…
