Identifying muons for neutrino oscillation and cross section experiments
Neutrinos (v) are interesting for many reasons; they are the only fundamental fermions which are electrically neutral; their mass is orders of magnitude smaller than the lightest charged lepton, the electron; and their solely weak interactions make them an excellent probe of the weak nuclear force. …

Phenomenology of long baseline neutrino oscillation Beta Beam experiments and their related technologies
… goal of the future experimental program in neutrino oscillation physics is to determine the size of the unknown mixing angle, $\theta_{13}$, whether CP-violation is present in the leptonic sector and the sign of the atmospheric mass squared splitting. If $\theta_{13}$ is not found by …

JLab E12-14-012 (e,e'p) cross section measurements for Ar and Ti
… improve the accuracy on the measurements of the neutrino oscillation parameters. One of the main source of uncertainty for neutrino oscillation experiments is due to the lack of a comprehensive theoretical description of neutrino-nucleus interactions. The US Deep Underground Neutrino Oscillation …

Development and calibration of NuLat, A new type of neutrino detector
Over the past 20 years, the detection of neutrino oscillation has reported a lot of important results. The oscillation phenomenon itself has been well proved by various experiments. Some oscillation parameters has been measured and now in the area of precise determination. On the other hand, some …

A Study of Muon Neutrino Disappearance in the MINOS Detectors and the NuMI Beam
… evidence that the proper description of neutrino involves two representations related by the PMNS matrix characterized by either distinct mass or flavor. The parameters of this mixing matrix, three angles and a phase, as well as the mass differences between the three mass eigenstates must …

Measuring theta?? via muon neutrino to electron neutrino oscillations in the MINOS experiment
One of the primary goals in neutrino physics at the present moment is to make a measurement of the neutrino oscillation parameter B13 . This parameter, in addition to being unknown, could potentially allow for the introduction of CP violation into the lepton sector. The MINOS long-baseline neutrino …

Collider phenomenology of heavy neutrinos
The existence of the neutrino mass has been established by the neutrino oscillation experiments. The so-called seesaw extension of the Standard Model is probably the simplest idea to naturally explain the existence of tiny neutrino mass through the lepton number violating Majorana mass term. There …
