  1. 572. Status of Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiments

    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    The current generation of long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments employ an off-axis $\nu_\mu$ (or $\bar{\nu}_\mu$) beam produced by the decay of pions created when a proton beam strikes a target. The beam is monitored at detector facilities near the production point before travelling hundreds of kilometres to a far detector. Aiming the beam centre slightly away from the far...

    T2K is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment in Japan, that targets the measurement of the mixing angle between the first and the third neutrino mass eigenstates ($\theta_{13}$) by looking for the appearance of electron neutrinos ($\nu_e$) in a beam of muon neutrinos ($\nu_\mu$), as well as a precision measurement for the mass difference between the the second and the third...

  3. 718. Constraining Oscillation Analysis Inputs at the T2K Near Detector

    Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)
    The T2K long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment is composed of a near detector at 280m and a far detector at Super-Kamiokande located 295 km from the neutrino beam in Tokai. The main oscillation analyses are performed using fits to the data collected at the far detector. These analyses depend on our ability to predict the event rates and energy spectra at the far detector, which...

  4. 640. Deep Core and PINGU - Studying Neutrinos in the Ice
    Ken Clark (University of Toronto)

    Particle Physics / Physique des particules (PPD)
    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    IceCube and its low energy extension DeepCore have been deployed at the South Pole and taking data since early 2010. Originally designed to search for high energy (on the order of PeV) events, IceCube has recently published the detection of the highest energy events ever recorded. At the same time, enhancements to the detector have been installed to focus on lower energy events. With a...

  5. 477. Experimental test of the unitarity of the leptonic mixing (PMNS) matrix

    Particle Physics / Physique des particules (PPD)
    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    In the past decade, a remarkable progress has been made in the neutrino oscillation determining the lepton mixing (PMNS) angles, except for the CP violating phase delta_CP. The next step is to determine this remaining phase and then over-constraining the PMNS matrix to test its unitarity. Testing the unitarity is an effective way to search for physics beyond the standard model, as is...
