Chapter 1Introduction

Ochoa Ricoux, Juan Pedro

Pages: 1 –3

[Neutrinos are unique subatomic particles. The fact that they display extraordinary properties that are unmatched by any other particle makes the field of neutrino physics full of both challenges and opportunities. For instance, due to their extremely low interaction rate, neutrinos have the...

Chapter 2Neutrino Physics

Ochoa Ricoux, Juan Pedro

Pages: 5 –37

[Neutrinos are truly fascinating particles that, due to their extraordinary properties, have played and continue to play a crucial role in our understanding of the universe. In the first part of this chapter we review the basic properties of neutrinos from a historical perspective until the...

Chapter 3The MINOS Experiment

Ochoa Ricoux, Juan Pedro

Pages: 39 –66

[Several of the open questions discussed at the end of the last chapter can be addressed in the MINOS experiment. MINOS is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment that samples a beam consisting primarily of muon neutrinos in two locations. An overview of MINOS is given first, followed by...

Chapter 4Measuring \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\theta_{13}$$\end{document} in MINOS

Ochoa Ricoux, Juan Pedro

Pages: 67 –83

[In Chap. 2 we saw that searching for a nonzero θ13 is one of the main priorities in the field of neutrino physics. In this chapter, after reviewing the motivation for θ13 in the first part of Sect. 4.1 we explain how MINOS can access this mixing angle by searching for νe appearance, together...

Chapter 5A Novel Approach for Selecting \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\nu_e$$\end{document} CC Events

Ochoa Ricoux, Juan Pedro

Pages: 85 –115

[ The philosophy of our approach together with a description of the basic preselection cuts employed in the analysis are first laid down. The technical characteristics of the new selection method are then reviewed, followed by its optimization and performance.]

Chapter 6Measuring the Backgrounds in the Near Detector

Ochoa Ricoux, Juan Pedro

Pages: 117 –142

[This chapter describes the data-driven methods used to determine the backgrounds to sufficient accuracy, which as mentioned earlier is one of the pillars on which the analysis rests. We begin with some data-MC comparisons that motivate the use of the Near Detector to directly measure the...

Chapter 7Predicting the Far Detector Rates

Ochoa Ricoux, Juan Pedro

Pages: 143 –161

[Now that the Near Detector background rates have been measured it is necessary to convert them into Far Detector rates. The extraction of the Far-Near conversions from the MC used to predict (extrapolate) the NC and vμ CC components, as well as the details on the prediction of the beam ve and...

Chapter 8Systematic Errors and θ13 Sensitivity

Ochoa Ricoux, Juan Pedro

Pages: 163 –194

[This chapter begins with an estimation of all the systematic uncertainties affecting the background and signal predictions. These are divided into uncertainties in the physics models and in the detector models, and are addressed respectively in Sects. 8.1.2 and 8.1.3. The contributions from each...

Chapter 9Far Detector Data Analysis and νe Appearance Results

Ochoa Ricoux, Juan Pedro

Pages: 195 –220

[At this point all the predictions are finalized and the systematic errors estimated. The Far Detector data is ready to be analyzed, but before doing that it is useful to test the decomposition and the extrapolation processes in a sample that is devoid of a significant amount of signal events, in...

Chapter 10Pushing the Neutrino Frontier

Ochoa Ricoux, Juan Pedro

Pages: 221 –240

[The question of what comes after the results just shown immediately comes to mind. Accordingly, this chapter begins by reviewing the prospects for future ve appearance analyses. While those prospects are found to be very encouraging, we find that it is beneficial for the experiment to focus in...
