Modelling Tritium Production and Release at High-Energy Proton Accelerators Open
Tritium is a well-known byproduct of particle accelerator operations. To keep levels of tritium below regulatory limits, tritium production is actively monitored and managed at Fermilab. We plan to study tritium production in the targets, …

Measurement of the mean excitation energy of liquid argon Open
The mean excitation energy (I-value) of liquid argon is a critical input for energy estimation in neutrino oscillation experiments. It is measured to be 199 +4 -5 eV using the range of 402.2 MeV protons from the Fermilab Linac. This compar…

Evaluation of the mean excitation energies of gaseous and liquid argon Open
Current and future experiments need to know the stopping power of liquid argon. It is used directly in calibration, where commonly the minimum-ionizing portion of muon tracks is used as a standard candle. Similarly, muon range is used as a…

Astrophysics With Nova Open
The NOvA neutrino experiment, designed to measure electron neutrino appearance in a muon neutrino beam, also has a wide-reaching astrophysics program as a result of its unique size, granularity and position. Unlike previous long-baseline n…

Muon capture on light isotopes in Double Chooz Open
Using the Double Chooz reactor neutrino detector, we have measured the products of µ − capture on 12 C, 13 C, 14 N and 16 O. Over a period of 490 days, we collected 2.3 × 10 6 stopping cosmic µ − , of which 1.8 × 10 5 captured on these nuc…

Cosmic-muon characterization and annual modulation measurement with Double Chooz detectors Open
A study on cosmic muons has been performed for the two identical near and far neutrino detectors of the Double Chooz experiment, placed at ∼120 and ∼300 m.w.e. underground respectively, including the corresponding simulations using the MUS…
