Abstract:

We report the results of a search for νμ disappearance by the Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search. The experiment uses two detectors separated by 734 km to observe a beam of neutrinos created by the Neutrinos at the Main Injector facility at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The data were collected in the first 282 days of beam operations and correspond to an exposure of 1.27×1020 protons on target. Based on measurements in the Near Detector, in the absence of neutrino oscillations we expected 336±14 νμ charged-current interactions at the Far Detector but observed 215. This deficit of events corresponds to a significance of 5.2 standard deviations. The deficit is energy dependent and is consistent with two-flavor neutrino oscillations according to |Δm2|=2.74-0.26+0.44×10-3eV2/c4 and sin 22θ>0.87 at 68% confidence level. © 2008 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

The TRIP-t front end board (TFB) will read out Geiger-mode multi-pixel Avalanche Photo-Diodes (GM-APD) in several T2K detector systems. We report the first tests of the TFB electronics with GM-APD. Measurements of GM-APD charge spectra, energy and time resolution have been performed. Individual channel voltage trimming circuit functionality has also been tested. These results indicate very good performance of the TFB prototype with both 400 and 100 pixels GMAPD from Hamamatsu photonics. © Copyright owned by the author(s).
