Determination of Neutrino mixing parameters after SNO oscillation evidence

(14 May 2002) An updated analysis of all available neutrino oscillation evidence in Solar experiments (SK day and night spectra, global rates from Homestake, SAGE and GALLEX) including the latest SNO CC and NC data is presented. Assuming that the shape of the SNO CC energy spectrum is undistorted and ...

Application of Hamamatsu MPPC to T2K Neutrino Detectors. (arXiv:0807.3145v1 [physics.ins-det] CROSS LISTED)

A special type of Hamamatsu MPPC, with a sensitive area of 1.3x1.3mm^2containing 667 pixels with 50x50um^2 each, has been developed for the nearneutrino detector in the T2K long baseline neutrino experiment. About 60 000MPPCs will be used in total to

Underwater neutrino telescope looks down to see sky

Astronomers have finished building a telescope called ANTARES under the Mediterranean Sea, it will look THROUGH the Earth at the southern sky.

Neutrino signatures and the neutrino-driven wind in Binary Neutron Star Mergers

http://www.arxiv.org/abs/0806.4380 Luc Dessart, Christian Ott, Adam Burrows, Stefan Rosswog, Eli Livne this http URL We present VULCAN/2D multi-group flux-limited-diffusion radiation hydrodynamics simulations of binary neutron star (BNS) mergers, using the Shen equation of state, covering ~100 ms, and starting from azimuthal-averaged 2D slices obtained from 3D SPH simulations of Rosswog & Price for 1. 4 Msun (baryonic) neutron stars with no initial spins, co-rotating spins, and counter-rotating...

The Ghost Particle is airing tonight on PBS, featuring, of course, the neutrino: In this program, NOVA probes the secret ingredient of the cosmos: swarms of invisible particles that fill every cubic inch of space and just may explain how...

Sources of uncertainties in the s-process in massive stars: convection and reaction rates

http://www.arxiv.org/abs/0805.3607 V. Costa, M.L. Pumo, A. Bonanno, R.A. Zappala' 4 pages, 2 figures, Proceedings of the ''Catania workshop on nuclear and neutrino astrophysics'' Current models of s-nucleosynthesis in massive stars ($Msim15 M_{odot}$ to $sim 30 M_{odot}$) are able to reproduce some main features of the abundance distributions of heavy isotopes in the solar system, at least in the $Asim 60-90$ mass range. The efficiency of the process and the above specified mass range for the s...

Searching for Alien Neutrino Messages

If you were a hyper advanced alien civilization, rather then mucking about with noisy electromagnetic waves, perhaps you would try to make contact with other intelligent life forms by sending your messages via neutrinos. First detected in 1953, neutrinos pass...

Are Aliens Using Neutrinos to Contact Us

Neutrino detectors like the 2,450-meter-deep 'IceCube' that U.S. scientists are currently building in Antarctica might eventually help in the search for extraterrestrial life. [Wired News: Top Stories] [Read More]
