Dr Michele Pozzato (Bologna University - INFN)3/19/11, 5:00 PMExperimentOrdinaryOPERA is a long baseline hybrid experiment located in the Gran Sasso underground laboratory designed to study the nu_mu -> nu_tau neutrino oscillations. OPERA is the first experiment searching for nu_tau appearance from a pure high energy nu_mu beam (CNGS) produced at CERN and travelling a distance of 730 km to the OPERA detector. Tau leptons produced in charged current interactions...Go to contribution page

Dr Mark Hartz (University of Toronto/York University)3/19/11, 5:20 PMExperimentOrdinaryT2K is a long baseline high intensity neutrino oscillation experiment employing an off-axis design to search for the as yet unseen appearance of nu_e neutrinos in a nu_mu beam. The neutrino beam originates at the J-PARC facility in Tokai, Japan and the Super-Kamiokande (SK) detector, located 295 km away, measures the composition of the oscillated beam. The SK data is searched for an excess...Go to contribution page

Dr Sanjib Kumar Agarwalla (IFIC, CSIC and University of Valencia)3/19/11, 5:40 PMExperimentOrdinaryA stopped pion source provides neutrino beams with energy of a few tens of MeV from pion and muon decay-at-rest. A rich physics program can be accomplished with such a neutrino source. In this talk, I will discuss the role of such a neutrino facility to test LSND and to study CP violation in active neutrinos. I will also mention its applications in electroweak precision physics and new...Go to contribution page

Dr Pau Novella Garijo (CIEMAT)3/19/11, 6:00 PMExperimentOrdinaryThe Double Chooz experiment is meant to search for the neutrino mixing angle theta13 taking advantage of the neutrinos generated at the nuclear power plant of Chooz. Double Chooz relies on neutrino flux measurements at two different locations, the so-called far an near detectors, although the first phase runs only with the far detector. The commissioning of the far detector started in January...Go to contribution page

Dr Yusuke Koshio (LNGS, INFN)3/19/11, 6:20 PMExperimentOrdinaryThe recent solar neutrino measurements in Borexino will be discussed. This presentation will be the first time for newly releasing the results in Borexino. The first realtime 7Be solar neutrino measurement succeeded in Borexino in 2008. After that, due to the precise detector calibration in 2009, the uncertainty of the 7Be flux measurement will be at 5% level. This result is important, at...Go to contribution page

Dr Gabriel Perdue (The University of Rochester)3/19/11, 7:00 PMExperimentOrdinaryMINERvA (Main INjEctoR nu-A) is a new few-GeV neutrino cross section experiment that began taking data in the FNAL NuMI beam-line in the Fall of 2009. MINERvA employs a fine-grained detector capable of complete kinematic characterization of neutrino interactions. We employ a three ton active target region composed of plastic scintillator with additional carbon, iron, and lead targets...Go to contribution page

Dr Mattias Blennow (Max-Planck-Institut für Physik)3/19/11, 7:20 PMTheoryOrdinaryWe discuss the effects of extra dimensions on the running of neutrino parameters and possible accelerator observables of neutrinos propagating in extra dimensions. Emphasis will be put on determining which patterns of mixing would be viable at the high-energy scale and how a particular neutrino mass model could affect the observability.Go to contribution page

Prof. Mitchell Soderberg (Syracuse University)3/19/11, 7:40 PMExperimentOrdinaryThe Argon Neutrino Teststand, or ArgoNeuT, project at Fermilab operated a 175 liter Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) detector in the NuMI neutrino beam from Sept. 2009 through Feb. 2010. During this time 1.35x10E20 Protons on Target were collected, predominantly in the antineutrino configuration of the NuMI beam. In this talk preliminary attempts to reconstruct and analyze the...Go to contribution page

Prof. Ara Ioannisian (Yerevan Physics Institute)3/19/11, 8:00 PMTheoryOrdinaryWe calculate the transition radiation process $\nu \to \nu \gamma$ at the border of two different mediums. The neutrinos are taken to be with only standard-model couplings. The medium fulfills the dual purpose of inducing an effective neutrino-photon vertex and of modifying the photon dispersion relation. We find that the probability of transition radiation is larger by three orders of...Go to contribution page
