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…

Observation of nu_tau appearance in the CNGS beam with the OPERA experiment

OPERA Collaboration, N. Agafonova, A. Aleksandrov +145

The OPERA experiment is searching for nu_mu -> nu_tau oscillations in appearance mode i.e. via the direct detection of tau leptons in nu_tau charged current interactions. The evide…

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…

Measurement of TeV atmospheric muon charge ratio with the full OPERA data

N. Agafonova, A. Anokhina, S. Aoki +134

The OPERA detector, designed to search for oscillations in the CNGS beam, is located in the underground Gran Sasso laboratory, a privileged location to study TeV-scal…
