Measurement of the muon beam direction and muon flux for the T2K neutrino experiment
K. Suzuki, S. Aoki, A. Ariga +30
The Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K) neutrino experiment measures neutrino oscillations by using an almost pure muon neutrino beam produced at the J-PARC accelerator facility. The T2K muon m…
Xenon purity analysis for EXO-200 via mass spectrometry
A. Dobi, C. Hall, S. Slutsky +73
We describe purity measurements of the natural and enriched xenon stockpiles used by the EXO-200 double beta decay experiment based on a mass spectrometry technique. The sensitivit…
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…
A magnetically-driven piston pump for ultra-clean applications
F. LePort, R. Neilson, P. S. Barbeau +77
A magnetically driven piston pump for xenon gas recirculation is presented. The pump is designed to satisfy extreme purity and containment requirements, as is appropriate for the r…
The LAGUNA design study- towards giant liquid based underground detectors for neutrino physics and astrophysics and proton decay searches
LAGUNA Collaboration, D. Angus, A. Ariga +121
The feasibility of a next generation neutrino observatory in Europe is being considered within the LAGUNA design study. To accommodate giant neutrino detectors and shield them from…
A prototype liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber for the study of UV laser multi-photonic ionization
B. Rossi, I. Badhress, A. Ereditato +15
This paper describes the design, realization and operation of a prototype liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LAr TPC) detector dedicated to the development of a novel online mon…
Emulsion sheet doublets as interface trackers for the OPERA experiment
A. Ariga
New methods for efficient and unambiguous interconnection between electronic counters and target units based on nuclear photographic emulsion films have been developed. The applica…
Track reconstruction in the emulsion-lead target of the OPERA experiment using the ESS microscope
L. Arrabito, C. Bozza, S. Buontempo +44
The OPERA experiment, designed to conclusively prove the existence of oscillations in the atmospheric sector, makes use of a massive lead-nuclear emulsion target t…
A linear RFQ ion trap for the Enriched Xenon Observatory
B. Flatt, M. Green, J. Wodin +39
The design, construction, and performance of a linear radio-frequency ion trap (RFQ) intended for use in the Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO) are described. EXO aims to detect the…
Hardware performance of a scanning system for high speed analysis of nuclear emulsions
L. Arrabito, E. Barbuto, C. Bozza +45
The use of nuclear emulsions in very large physics experiments is now possible thanks to the recent improvements in the industrial production of emulsions and to the development of…
