Signals for tau neutrino events in a beam dump experiment

Ways of detecting tau neutrinos emerging from a beam dump are studied. Key signatures are elaborated and contrasted with background arising from muon and electron neutrino interactions. Expected event rates are given for various neutrino spectra. 16 references.

Future Search for Grand Unified Theory Magnetic Monopoles

After a brief discussion of the theoretical notation, we discuss the present experimental limits and experimental techniques in the search for very massive magnetic monopoles. We attempt to survey possible future experiments and the limits of the experimental techniques with emphasis on the type of R and D that will be useful in these searches.

Neutrino-oscillation search with cosmic-ray neutrinos

It is shown that a sensitive search for neutrino oscillations involving more flavors than just nu/sub e/ and nu/sub ..mu../ is provided by measurement of the ratio of the total interaction rates of upward- and downward-going cosmic-ray neutrinos within a massive (approx. 10 kiloton) detector. Assuming mixing between all pairs of nu/sub e/, nu/sub ..mu../ and nu/sub tau/, the experiment is capable of observing time-averaging probabilities < P/sub e tau/>/sub t/ of magnitude set by mixing strengt… more

Prospects for Future Experiments to Search for Nucleon Decay

We review the status of theoretical expectations and experimental searches for nucleon decay, and predict the sensitivities which could be reached by future experiments. For the immediate future, we concur with the conclusions of the 1982 Summer Workshop on Proton Decay Experiments: all detectors now in operation or construction will be relatively insensitive to some potentially important decay modes. Next-generation experiments must therefore be designed to search for these modes, and should b… more

The Potential for Neutrino Physics at Muon Colliders and Dedicated High Current Muon Storage Rings

Conceptual design studies are underway for both muon colliders and high-current non-colliding muon storage rings that have the potential to become the first true neutrino factories. Muon decays in long straight sections of the storage rings would produce uniquely intense and precisely characterized two-component neutrino beams--muon neutrinos plus electron antineutrinos from negative muon decays and electron neutrinos plus muon antineutrinos from positive muons. This article presents a long-ter… more

Report of the APS Neutrino Study Reactor Working Group

The worldwide program to understand neutrino oscillations and determine the neutrino mixing parameters, CP violating effects, and mass hierarchy will require a broad combination of measurements. The group believes that a key element of this future neutrino program is a multi-detector neutrino experiment (with baselines of {approx} 200 m and {approx} 1.5 km) with a sensitivity of sin{sup 2} 2{theta}{sub 13} = 0.01. In addition to oscillation physics, the reactor experiment may provide interestin… more

White paper report on using nuclear reactors to search for a value of theta13

There has been superb progress in understanding the neutrino sector of elementary particle physics in the past few years. It is now widely recognized that the possibility exists for a rich program of measuring CP violation and matter effects in future accelerator {nu} experiments, which has led to intense efforts to consider new programs at neutrino superbeams, off-axis detectors, neutrino factories and beta beams. However, the possibility of measuring CP violation can be fulfilled only if the … more
