Modeling the Effect of the Heliospheric Magnetic Field on Cosmic Ray Muon Shadows
MINOS+ Collaboration, :, P. Adamson +75
Shadows cast in the cosmic ray (CR) muon sky by the Sun were located using muon data from the MINOS far detector in Northern Minnesota. The shadows were observed independently acro…
Fabrication of thin planar radiopure foils with 82Se for the SuperNEMO Demonstrator
X. Aguerre, A. Barabash, A. Basharina-Freshville +72
The SuperNEMO Demonstrator, designed to search for double beta decay using enriched 82Se, has been assembled in the Modane Underground Laboratory under the French Alps. Thin foils…
Calorimeter commissioning of the SuperNEMO Demonstrator
X. Aguerre, A. Barabash, A. Basharina-Freshville +77
The SuperNEMO experiment is searching for neutrinoless double beta decay of \textsuperscript{82}Se, with the unique combination of a tracking detector and a segmented calorimeter.…
The Impact of Helium Exposure on the PMTs of the SuperNEMO Experiment
SuperNEMO Collaboration, X. Aguerre, A. S. Barabash +76
The performance of Hamamatsu 8" photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) of the type used in the SuperNEMO neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment (R5912-MOD), is investigated as a function…
Monte Carlo method for constructing confidence intervals with unconstrained and constrained nuisance parameters in the NOvA experiment
M. A. Acero, B. Acharya, P. Adamson +218
Measuring observables to constrain models using maximum-likelihood estimation is fundamental to many physics experiments. Wilks' theorem provides a simple way to construct confiden…
