Dark noise calibration of the Super-Kamiokande outer detector
… calculating the single photoelectron gain in the Super-Kamiokande outer detector has been streamlined. The original technique used optic fibers to expose the detector's photomultiplier tubes to known amounts of light in order to determine the signal response to one photoelectron. This process was …

Measurement of Tau Neutrino Appearance and Charged-current Tau Neutrino Cross Section with Atmospheric Neutrinos in Super-Kamiokande
<p>Super-Kamiokande is a 50 kiloton water-Cherenkov detector in Japan, which has been collecting atmospheric neutrino data for more than 20 years. Tau neutrino appearance is expected in atmospheric neutrinos due to neutrino oscillations. The wide span of neutrino energies and neutrino path lengths …

A measurement of the atmospheric neutrino flux and oscillation parameters at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
… with the oscillation parameters observed by the Super Kamiokande and Minos experiments, and places 2-D limits of [delta]m2 23 = 1:8+7:1 ??1:1 103 eV2 at the 68% confidence level, and sin2(2[theta]23) > 0:33 at the 90% confidence level. In addition, the flux of atmospheric neutrinos is measured in …

Sensitivity Models for [Beta]+/EC Discovery in Large-Volume Scintillation Detectors
… scintillation detector modeled on the Super-Kamiokande experiment, fully implementing this detector in RAT/Geant4. This allows us to extract authentic spectra for the experimental signature of the [Beta]+/EC decay in 124Xe, paving the way for future sensitivity studies. We also consider …

Neutrino Oscillations: Eighty Years In Review
… these include the Homestake experiment, SNO, Kamiokande and Super-Kamiokande, MINOS, and Double-Chooz. We also include relevant derivations, most particularly of the quantum mechanics of neutrino oscillations as treated in the wave packet formalism.</p> <p>We have amassed here the principle …

Measurement of the muon anti-neutrino charged current double differential cross section with no pions in the final state on water using the pi-zero detector at T2K
… travel 295 km before being detected again at the Super-Kamiokande (Super-K) water-Cherenkov detector. In addition to measuring the flux of neutrinos in the T2K beamline en route to Super-K, other physics analyses are performed at ND280. This thesis describes one such measurement where the …

A study of neutral pion production from charged-current muon-neutrino interactions in the T2K near detector (Tracker + ECal)
… 280 m from the beam origin and a far detector, Super-Kamiokande, 295 km from the beam origin. The primary systematic uncertainties dominating the oscillation analyses for T2K are related to the neutrino beam flux, cross-section and final state interaction uncertainties. Within this thesis, a …

Particle physics in the sky and astrophysics underground : connecting the universe's largest and smallest scales
… high energy upward-going muons using the Super-Kamiokande detector, and comparing the observed flux to the expected background. We use our results to to set an upper limit on the diffuse neutrino flux from astrophysical sources. In addition to using particles to do astronomy, we can also …
