Particle Physics at the European Spallation Source
H. Abele, A. Alekou, A. Algora +176
Presently under construction in Lund, Sweden, the European Spallation Source (ESS) will be the world's brightest neutron source. As such, it has the potential for a particle physic…
Momentum reconstruction of charged particles using multiple Coulomb scatterings in a nuclear emulsion detector
Takahiro Odagawa, Yosuke Suzuki, Tsutomu Fukuda +6
This paper describes a new method for momentum reconstruction of charged particles using multiple Coulomb scatterings in a nuclear emulsion detector with a layered structure of nuc…
Bubble Chamber Detectors with Light Nuclear Targets: A Snowmass 2021 White Paper
Luis Alvarez-Ruso, Joshua L. Barrow, Leo Bellantoni +29
Neutrino cross sections are a critical ingredient in experiments that depend on neutrino scattering to reconstruct event kinematics and infer neutrino characteristics, like NOvA an…
Design and performance of a scintillation tracker for track matching in nuclear-emulsion-based neutrino interaction measurement
Takahiro Odagawa, Tsutomu Fukuda, Ayami Hiramoto +7
Precise measurement of neutrino-nucleus interactions with an accelerator neutrino beam is highly important for current and future neutrino oscillation experiments. To measure muon-…
Automatic track recognition for large-angle minimum ionizing particles in nuclear emulsions
T. Fukuda, S. Fukunaga, H. Ishida +9
We previously developed an automatic track scanning system which enables the detection of large-angle nuclear fragments in the nuclear emulsion films of the OPERA experiment. As a…
Study of hadron interactions in a lead-emulsion target
Hirokazu Ishida, Tsutomu Fukuda, Takafumi Kajiwara +11
Topological and kinematical characteristics of hadron interactions have been studied using a lead-emulsion target exposed to 2, 4 and 10 GeV/c hadron beams. A total length of 60 m…
Determination of the muon charge sign with the dipolar spectrometers of the OPERA experiment
OPERA Collaboration, N. Agafonova, A. Aleksandrov +141
The OPERA long-baseline neutrino-oscillation experiment has observed the direct appearance of in the CNGS beam. Two large muon magnetic spectrometers are used to identi…
Automatic scanning of nuclear emulsions with wide-angle acceptance for nuclear fragment detection
T. Fukuda, S. Fukunaga, H. Ishida +6
Nuclear emulsion, a tracking detector with sub-micron position resolution, has played a successful role in the field of particle physics and the analysis speed has been substantial…
Momentum measurement by the Multiple Coulomb Scattering method in the OPERA lead emulsion target
The OPERA Collaboration
A new method of momentum measurement of charged particles through Multiple Coulomb Scattering (MCS) in the OPERA lead emulsion target is presented. It is based on precise measureme…
