Scalable DAQ system operating the CHIPS-5 neutrino detector
Belén Alonso Rancurel, Son Cao, Thomas J. Carroll +57
The CHIPS R&D project focuses on development of low-cost water Cherenkov neutrino detectors through novel design strategies and resourceful engineering. This work presents an end-t…
The Design and Construction of the Chips Water Cherenkov Neutrino Detector
B. Alonso Rancurel, N. Angelides, G. Augustoni +64
CHIPS (CHerenkov detectors In mine PitS) was a prototype large-scale water Cherenkov detector located in northern Minnesota. The main aim of the R&D project was to demonstrate that…
Supernova neutrino detection in NOvA
NOvA Collaboration, M. A. Acero, P. Adamson +199
The NOvA long-baseline neutrino experiment uses a pair of large, segmented, liquid-scintillator calorimeters to study neutrino oscillations, using GeV-scale neutrinos from the Ferm…
Studies of helium poisoning of a Hamamatsu R5900-00-M16 photomultiplier
Rustem Ospanov, Michael Kordosky, Karol Lang +4
We report results from studies of the helium poisoning of a 16-anode photomultiplier tube R5900-00-M16 manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics. A tube was immersed in pure helium for a…
Observation of seasonal variation of atmospheric multiple-muon events in the NOvA Near Detector
M. A. Acero, P. Adamson, L. Aliaga +188
Using two years of data from the NOvA Near Detector at Fermilab, we report a seasonal variation of cosmic ray induced multiple-muon event rates which has an opposite phase to the s…
Measuring the Attenuation Length of Water in the CHIPS-M Water Cherenkov Detector
F. Amat, P. Bizouard, J. Bryant +18
The water at the proposed site of the CHIPS water Cherenkov detector has been studied to measure its attenuation length for Cherenkov light as a function of filtering time. A scale…
LArIAT: Liquid Argon In A Testbeam
J. Paley, D. Gastler, E. Kearns +64
Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) are ideal detectors for precision neutrino physics. These detectors, when located deep underground, can also be used for measurement…
CHerenkov detectors In mine PitS (CHIPS) Letter of Intent to FNAL
P. Adamson, S. V. Cao, J. A. B. Coelho +32
This Letter of Intent outlines a proposal to build a large, yet cost-effective, 100 kton fiducial mass water Cherenkov detector that will initially run in the NuMI beam line. The C…
Comparisons of the MINOS Near and Far Detector Readout Systems at a Test Beam
A. Cabrera, P. Adamson, M. Barker +28
MINOS is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment that uses two detectors separated by 734 km. The readout systems used for the two detectors are different and have to be in…
The magnetized steel and scintillator calorimeters of the MINOS experiment
MINOS Collaboration, D. G. Michael
The Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) experiment uses an accelerator-produced neutrino beam to perform precision measurements of the neutrino oscillation parameters…
