Directional Sensitivity of the NEWSdm Experiment to Cosmic Ray Boosted Dark Matter

N. Y. Agafonova, A. Alexandrov, A. M. Anokhina +54

We present a study of a directional search for Dark Matter boosted forward when scattered by cosmic-ray nuclei, using a module of the NEWSdm experiment. The boosted Dark Matter flu…

First observation of a tau neutrino charged current interaction with charm production in the Opera experiment

N. Agafonova, A. Alexandrov, A. Anokhina +124

An event topology with two secondary vertices compatible with the decay of short-lived particles was found in the analysis of neutrino interactions in the Opera target. The observe…

NEWS: Nuclear Emulsions for WIMP Search

A. Aleksandrov, A. Anokhina, T. Asada +56

Nowadays there is compelling evidence for the existence of dark matter in the Universe. A general consensus has been expressed on the need for a directional sensitive detector to c…

Discovery of tau neutrino appearance in the CNGS neutrino beam with the OPERA experiment

OPERA Collaboration, N. Agafonova, A. Aleksandrov +139

The OPERA experiment was designed to search for oscillations in appearance mode, i.e. by detecting the -leptons produced in charged current interacti…

Limits on muon-neutrino to tau-neutrino oscillations induced by a sterile neutrino state obtained by OPERA at the CNGS beam

OPERA Collaboration, N. Agafonova, A. Aleksandrov +128

The OPERA experiment, exposed to the CERN to Gran Sasso beam, collected data from 2008 to 2012. Four oscillated Charged Current interaction candidates have been detecte…
