Special Particle Physics Seminar

"Search for Non-standard Interactions with the MINOS Experiment"

Presented by Zeynep Isvan, University of Pittsburgh

Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 3:30 pm — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

MINOS searches for neutrino oscillations using the disappearance of muon neutrinos between two detectors, over a baseline of 735 km. We recently reported the most precise measurement of neutrino oscillations in the atmospheric sector and the first tagged measurement of antineutrino oscillations. NuMI can be configured to deliver a neutrino or an antineutrino beam, while the MINOS detectors can distinguish the charge sign of muons on an event-by-event basis using their magnetic field. We use these properties to constrain non-standard matter interactions which could occur during propagation through the Earth's crust to the far detector.
