Comparisons and challenges of modern neutrino scattering experiments (TENSIONS2016 report)

Over the last decade, there has been enormous effort to measure neutrino interaction cross sections important to oscillation experiments. However, a number of results from modern experiments appear to be in tension with each other, despite purporting to measure the same processes. The TENSIONS2016 workshop was held at University of Pittsburgh July 24–31, 2016 and was sponsored by the Pittsburgh Particle Physics, Astronomy, and Cosmology Center (PITT PACC). The focus was on bringing experts from three experimental collaborations together to compare results in detail and try to find the source of tension by clarifying and comparing signal definitions and the analysis strategies used for each measurement. A set of comparisons between the measurements using a

Accelerator/Experiment Operations - FY 2018

This Technical Memorandum summarizes the Fermilab accelerator and experiment operations for FY 2018. It is one of a series of annual publications intended to gather information in one place. In this case, the information concerns the FY 2018 NOvA and MINERvA experiments using the Main Injector Neutrino Beam (NuMI), the MicroBooNE experiment, LArIAT experiment, and Meson Test Beam activities in the 120 GeV external switchyard beam (SY120).

NuSTEC 1 1Neutrino Scattering Theory Experiment Collaboration http://nustec.fnal.gov. White Paper: Status and challenges of neutrino–nucleus scattering

The precise measurement of neutrino properties is among the highest priorities in fundamental particle physics, involving many experiments worldwide. Since the experiments rely on the interactions of neutrinos with bound nucleons inside atomic nuclei, the planned advances in the scope and precision of these experiments require a commensurate effort in the understanding and modeling of the hadronic and nuclear physics of these interactions, which is incorporated as a nuclear model in neutrino event generators. Lastly, this model is essential to every phase of experimental analyses and its theoretical uncertainties play an important role in interpreting every result.

Accelerator/Experiment Operations: FY17

This Technical Memorandum summarizes the Fermilab accelerator and experiment operations for FY 2017. It is one of a series of annual publications intended to gather information in one place. In this case, the information concerns the FY 2017 NOvA, MINOS+ and MINERvA experiments using the Main Injector Neutrino Beam (NuMI), the MicroBooNE experiment and the activities in the SciBooNE Hall using the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB), and the SeaQuest experiment, LArIAT experiment and Meson Test Beam activities in the 120 GeV external switchyard beam (SY120).

First observation of low energy electron neutrinos in a liquid argon time projection chamber

Liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) produce remarkable fidelity in the observation of neutrino interactions. Here, the superior capabilities of such detectors to reconstruct the spatial and calorimetric information of neutrino events have made them the detectors of choice in a number of experiments, specifically those looking to observe electron neutrino ($\nu_e$) appearance. The LArTPC promises excellent background rejection capabilities, especially in this "golden" channel for both short and long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. We present the first experimental observation of electron neutrinos and anti-neutrinos in the ArgoNeut LArTPC, in the energy range relevant to DUNE and the Fermilab Short Baseline Neutrino Program. Additionally, we present a demonstration of separation of electrons from gammas using neutrino data.
