Constraining the Neutral Current Pi0 Background for MicroBooNE's Single-Photon Search
Creators: name: Mogan, Andrew
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) are an important technology in the field of experimental neutrino physics due to their exceptional calorimetric and position resolution capabilities. The MicroBooNE experiment is utilizing LArTPC technology to investigate the MiniBooNE low-energy excess, which could be either electron-like or photon-like in nature. On the photon-like side, MicroBooNE is searching for single-photon events, the most common of which result from neutral current (NC) $\Delta$ radiative decays. However, this search is complicated by the significantly more common neutrino-induced NC resonant $\pi^0$ production process. To constrain this background, a modified version of the single-photon analysis framework is used to select two-photon events, which are characteristic of the NC $\pi^0$ topology. The selected sample is then used to constrain the systematic uncertainty on the NC $\Delta$ radiative decay measurement.

description: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has announced it will regulate mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants, with proposed regulations to be issued in 2003. The feasibility and cost of achieving mercury emission reductions is thus a subject of considerable current interest. To assess mercury control options, the Integrated Environmental Control Model (IECM) developed for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory (DOE/NETL) has been expanded to include performance and cost models for a variety of mercury control options. These preliminary models are based on a review of recent mercury information collection request (ICR) data, and on the results of pilot plant studies and other data sources employing carbon injection with and without flue gas humidification. Illustrative results using the IECM show that the feasibility and cost of achieving different levels of mercury reduction depend strongly on the fuel type and power plant configuration. In most cases, the presence of a flue gas desulfurization (FGD) unit or a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system can have a significant (beneficial) impact on mercury removal efficiency and cost. However, because of limitations on the scale and coverage of available data, there is considerable uncertainty in current estimates of mercury control costs and capabilities. Current models and estimates will be refined as new data become available from on- going programs.
TRIMS: Testing Molecular Effects in Tritium Beta Decay
Creators: name: Parno, Diana
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The beta decay of molecular tritium (T$_2$) allows sensitive, kinematic probes of the neutrino mass scale, but analysis of the beta spectrum must account for electronic, vibrational and rotational excitations of the final-state molecule. While the final-state spectrum cannot be measured directly, experiments can access the probability that the daughter molecule dissociates following beta decay. Precise theoretical calculations are discordant with historical measurements of this probability. We present results from the Tritium Recoil Ion Mass Spectrometer (TRIMS), a novel time-of-flight mass spectrometer designed to avoid known and suspected biases in the earlier measurements. Our measurements of beta decay in T$_2$ and HT agree closely with theoretical expectations, supporting the spectral analysis presently used by the KATRIN and Project 8 neutrino-mass experiments. This work has been supported by the US DOE Office of Science, Nuclear Physics.

$B\rightarrow K^{*}l^+ l^-$: Zeroes of angular observables as test of standard model
Creators: name: Kumar, Girish

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We calculate the zeroes of angular observables $P_4^{'}$ and $P_5^{'}$ of 4 - body angular distribution of $B\rightarrow K^{*} (\rightarrow K π) l^+ l^-$ where LHCb, in its analysis of form factor independent angular observables, has found deviations from standard model predictions in one of the $q^2$ bins. In the large recoil region, we obtain relations between the zeroes of $P_4^{'}$, $P_5^{'}$ and the zero of forward-backward asymmetry of lepton pair. These relations, in the considered region, are independent of hadronic uncertainties and depend only on Wilson coefficients. We also construct a new observable, $\mathcal{O}_T^{L,R}$, whose zero in the standard model coincides with the zero of forward-backward asymmetry but in presence of new physics contributions will show different behavior. Moreover, the profile of the new observable, even within the standard model, is very different from the forward backward asymmetry. We point out that precise measurements of these zeroes in near future would provide crucial test of the standard model and would be useful in distinguishing between different possible new physics contributions to Wilson coefficients.

description: We investigate degenerate cross-diffusion equations with a rank-deficient diffusion matrix that are considered to model populations which move as to avoid spatial crowding and have recently been found to arise in a mean-field limit of interacting stochastic particle systems. To date, their analysis in multiple space dimensions has been confined to the purely convective case with equal mobility coefficients. In this article, we introduce a normal form for an entropic class of such equations which reveals their structure of a symmetric hyperbolic-parabolic system. Due to the state-dependence of the range and kernel of the singular diffusive matrix, our way of rewriting the equations is different from that classically used for symmetric second-order systems with a nullspace invariance property. By means of this change of variables, we solve the Cauchy problem for short times and positive initial data in H^s(mathbbT^d) for s>d/2+1.

description: Due to the explosive growth of the Internet and  increasing demand for multimedia information on the Web, streaming video over the Internet has received tremendous attention from academia and industry. Transmission of real-time video typically has bandwidth, delay, and loss requirements. However, the current best-effort Internet does not offer any quality of service (QoS) guarantees to streaming video. Furthermore, for  video multicast, it is difficult to achieve both efficiency and flexibility. Thus, Internet streaming video poses many challenges. In this article we cover six key areas of streaming video. Specifically, we cover video compression, application-layer QoS control, continuous media distribution services, streaming servers, media synchronization mechanisms, and protocols for streaming media. For  each area, we address the particular issues and  review major approaches and mechanisms. We also discuss the tradeoffs of the approaches and  point out future research directions

Daya Bay neutrino oscillation progress based on neutron captured on hydrogen
Creators: name: Jinjing Li
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment is the first experiment that measured a nonzero value for the $\theta_{13}$ neutrino mixing angle in 2012. Antineutrinos from six 2.9 GWth reactors are detected in eight functionally identical antineutrino detectors deployed in two near ($\sim 500$ m) and one far (1648 m) underground experimental halls. The near-far arrangement of antineutrino detectors allows for a relative measurement by comparing the observed antineutrino rates at various baselines. In 2014, the Daya Bay experiment reported an independent measurement of the nonzero neutrino oscillation parameter $\theta_{13}$, utilizing the data set of neutron captured on hydrogen (nH) with distinct systematic uncertainties from the data set of neutrons captured on gadolinium, and has been improving this measurement since then. In this poster, I shall show the latest progress of the Daya Bay nH neutrino oscillation analysis with improved statistics and systematic control.

description: Many US firms are improving their individual competitiveness by offshoring manufacturing
operations, services and, increasingly, knowledge work. Although research to date has
maintained that these practices are beneficial to the offshoring firm and national economies, by
reducing costs and expanding markets, little is known about the longer term effect of offshoring
on the rate of innovation of home economies. This paper suggests that offshoring practices have
adverse effects on innovation at the national home base. The analysis uses patents in the rare
earth element industry, a high tech area which is among those that have evolved the furthest
towards outsourcing and relocation away from the US and to developing countries. Looking at
the rare earth industry can provide insights in identifying potential long term impacts of
offshoring on innovation because many other US industries are likely to adopt similar offshoring
strategies.

description: This paper introduces lax orthogonal algebraic weak factorisation systems on 2-categories and describes a method of constructing them. This method rests in the notion of simple 2-monad, that is a generalisation of the simple reflections studied by Cassidy, Hébert and Kelly. Each simple 2-monad on a finitely complete 2-category gives rise to a lax orthogonal algebraic weak factorisation system, and an example of a simple 2-monad is given by completion under a class of colimits. The notions of KZ lifting operation, lax natural lifting operation and lax orthogonality between morphisms are studied.

description: Network graphs have become a popular tool to represent complex systems composed of many interacting subunits; especially in neuroscience, network graphs are increasingly used to represent and analyze functional interactions between neural sources. Interactions are often reconstructed using pairwise bivariate analyses, overlooking their multivariate nature: it is neglected that investigating the effect of one source on a target necessitates to take all other sources as potential nuisance variables into account; also combinations of sources may act jointly on a given target. Bivariate analyses produce networks that may contain spurious interactions, which reduce the interpretability of the network and its graph metrics. A truly multivariate reconstruction, however, is computationally intractable due to combinatorial explosion in the number of potential interactions. Thus, we have to resort to approximative methods to handle the intractability of multivariate interaction reconstruction, and thereby enable the use of networks in neuroscience. Here, we suggest such an approximative approach in the form of an algorithm that extends fast bivariate interaction reconstruction by identifying potentially spurious interactions post-hoc: the algorithm flags potentially spurious edges, which may then be pruned from the network. This produces a statistically conservative network approximation that is guaranteed to contain non-spurious interactions only. We describe the algorithm and present a reference implementation to test its performance. We discuss the algorithm in relation to other approximative multivariate methods and highlight suitable application scenarios. Our approach is a tractable and data-efficient way of reconstructing approximative networks of multivariate interactions. It is preferable if available data are limited or if fully multivariate approaches are computationally infeasible.

description: Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera G.) seeds are rich in nutrients and mainly used for food and medicinal applications. The seeds are an important food item in many countries and are generally considered a low glycemic index food. Starch is a major component of lotus seeds and may amount to over 50% of the dry weight. The quality of lotus seed products is mainly determined their starch properties, such as gelatinization and retrogradation. This review comprehensively summarizes recent developments in isolation, modifications, and applications of lotus seed starch (LS). This survey highlights different properties of native and modified LS in comparison with other starches. Native LS has been found with high amylose content (20–35%), high peak gelatinization temperatures (>70 °C), and pasting temperatures (>75 °C). The high amylose content has contributed to lower swelling power and fast retrogradation of LS. The modification of LS has been done using different methods, including thermal, microwave, high pressure, chemical, and enzymatic processing for functionality improvement. Native and modified LS have promising potential to be a valuable functional ingredient in different food and other applications. Finally, an outlook on the future possibilities for utilization of LS is provided.

description: Emotional disturbances are an inherent aspect of most mental disorders and possibly driven by impaired emotion regulation. The present study examines how exactly affected individuals differ from healthy individuals in regulating their emotions and whether individuals suffering from different mental disorders face similar or distinct difficulty in emotion regulation. We overcome earlier methodological constraints by using a seven-day experience sampling assessing the employment and effectiveness of six regulation strategies real-time in 55 individuals with current major depressive disorder, 52 individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD), and 55 healthy individuals. All participants were female. Both clinical groups employed rumination and suppression more often and acceptance less often than healthy individuals. Depressed individuals ruminated even more often than individuals with BPD. Expressive suppression and rumination showed negative effects on subsequent emotions in all groups. Remarkably, both clinical groups were able to benefit from adaptive regulation strategies if they did select them.

description: The digital divide, however defined, is a stark divide and a challenge for development and
technology professionals. Many groups and governments have recognized this, and the UN
devoted a global conference on this issue, the World Summit on the Information Society.5 It is
actually a manifestation of other underlying divides, spanning economic, social, geographic,
gender, and other divides.6 This note focuses on connectivity for developing countries, especially
Africa, even though there are divides within developed countries. Here, we introduce several
ideas—some of which have also been postulated in variants by others—for how to end much of the
digital divide (at least the connectivity aspect). In particular, we present a proposal, dubbed
FiberAfrica, to bring affordable and sustainable broadband to Africa [details on FiberAfrica begin
on page 13]. We show how for just about $1/person one-time capital costs, the majority of
Africans could avail of (virtually) free data connectivity within walking or cycling distance
Thermodynamics of the hydrogen dominant potassium hydride superconductor at high pressure

description: In the present paper we report comprehensive analysis of the thermodynamic properties of novel hydrogen dominant potassium hydride superconductor (KH$_{6}$). Our computations are conducted within the Eliashberg theory which yields quantitative estimations of the most important thermodynamic properties of superconducting phase. In particular, we observe, that together with the increasing pressure all the thermodynamic properties decrease, e.g. $T_{C} \in \left< 72.91 , 55.50 \right>$ K for $p \in \left< 166 , 300 \right>$ GPa. It is predicted that such decreasing behavior corresponds to the decreasing hydrogen lattice molecularization with increasing pressure value. Futhermore, by calculating the dimensionless thermodynamic ratios, familiar in the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory (BCS), it is proved that KH$_{6}$ material is a strong-coupling superconductor and cannot be quantitatively described within the BCS theory.
Long time supernova simulation and supernova burst search at Super-Kamiokande
Creators: name: Mori, Masamitsu
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: There are several problems facing future supernova detection with neutrinos. On the theoretical side, many simulations concentrate only on the first second of the explosion, although SN1987a revealed supernovae release neutrinos for more than 10s. On the observational side, if a supernova is detected at Super-Kamiokande its entire inner volume and not just its fiducial volume should be used to extract the most information. However, so far there has been no study of the entire inner volume for these events. Two topics will be reported to address these problems. The first describes a long-time (20s) supernova simulation that considers general relativity and neutrino transport in one dimension. The second reports an evaluation of background rates in the entire Super-Kamiokande inner volume. Finally, the results of a search for distant supernova bursts using an expanded fiducial volume and optimized with this new simulation will be reported.

description: This paper presents a new and efficient method, based on stochastic annealing, to identify optimal design configurations from a large number of process alternatives, considering the effects of uncertainty. Case studies of an integrated coal gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plant are presented to illustrate this method. For this case, the new stochastic synthesis framework reduced computational time by 60% compared to an exhaustive search procedure. Greater efficiencies are expected as the number of process configurations increases.
Data acquisition systems to detect accelerator and supernova neutrinos with MicroBooNE and SBND
Creators: name: Crespo-Anadón, José Ignacio
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: MicroBooNE and SBND are liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPC) with 85 ton and 112 ton of active mass, respectively, located along the Booster Neutrino Beamline at Fermilab. Both experiments use the accelerator signals in coincidence with the scintillation light produced when particles interact with the argon to trigger the readouts of the detectors. Furthermore, both experiments aim to detect neutrinos from a galactic core-collapse supernova (SN) and provide a platform for DAQ development to enable SN $\nu$ detection in the future DUNE experiment. Since 2017, MicroBooNE has operated a dedicated DAQ that reads out the detector continuously and uses the Supernova Early Warning System (SNEWS) alert as delayed trigger to overcome the trigger limitations due to its near-surface location. SBND will feature a similar system. The performance of this system has been validated with MicroBooNE Michel electron data of energies similar to those produced by SN $\nu$.

description: Current and future generation neutrino oscillation experiments aim towards a high-precision measurement of the oscillation parameters and that requires an unprecedented understanding of neutrino-nucleus scattering. Charged-current quasielastic–like (CCQE-like) scattering is the process in which the neutrino produces a charged lepton and a single proton in the final state without any additional particles. These interactions are of great importance to both current and upcoming accelerator-based neutrino experiments, including DUNE. MicroBooNE is the first liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) commissioned as part of the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program at Fermilab and its excellent particle reconstruction capabilities allow the detection of neutrino interactions using exclusive final states, such as CCQE-like ones. This poster will present the first measurement of exclusive νμ - 40Ar CCQE-like total and differential cross sections using single proton knock-out interactions recorded by the MicroBooNE LArTPC detector with 4π acceptance.
Latest Results of the Reactor Fuel Evolution Study at Daya Bay

Year: 2020

description: The poster presents the first measurement of the individual ${}^{235}$U and ${}^{239}$Pu antineutrino flux and spectra. The antineutrinos were generated by six nuclear reactors with 2.9 GW thermal power each and detected by eight antineutrino detectors deployed in two near and one far underground experimental halls. The ${}^{235}$U and the ${}^{239}$Pu flux and spectra are obtained by fitting the flux and spectrum evolution as a function of fission fractions. Both flux and spectra measurements of ${}^{235}$U exhibit significant deviations from the prediction of the Hueber-Muller model. What's more, a deviation in the measured positron prompt energy spectrum was found with the comparison to the reactor flux predictions.

description: This paper describes a new computer–based model developed for the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to quantify the flows of chemical species in all gaseous, liquid and solid streams entering and leaving a power plant. User–specified parameters allow the model to be tailored to a variety of power plant configurations and site–specific conditions. A unique feature of the model is that all parameters and input data may be characterized probabilistically so that uncertainties can be analyzed rigorously. Illustrative applications are presented to examine the uncertainty in potential air toxic emissions, the effectiveness of current control measures, and areas for future study.

description: This paper considers gray-space spectrum sharing when rotating radars are primary spectrum users, and multiple cells from one or more cellular networks are secondary users. A cellular network may share spectrum to supplement its dedicated spectrum, or provide a broadband hotspot service. A secondary device is allowed to transmit as long as cumulative interference is not harmful to nearby radars, probably because no radar is pointing its directional antenna at the device at this moment. This paper presents mechanisms that would support such sharing, and quantifies performance when spectrum is considered 100% utilized under traditional spectrum management. It is shown that the sharing allows cells to sustain significant mean data rates. For example, if 5% of a cellular network's cells need more capacity than dedicated spectrum can provide, a cell can get almost 1.2 bps/Hz on average from shared spectrum. By evaluating quality of service, it is found that shared spectrum could be used efficiently for applications such as non-interactive video streaming, peer-to-peer file sharing, large file transfers, and web browsing, but not for applications such as real-time transfers of small files, and VoIP.

description: An overview of the current IECM structure appears in Figure 1-1. Briefly, the IECM was
designed to permit the systematic evaluation of environmental control options for pulverized
coal-fired (PC) power plants. Of special interest was the ability to compare the performance and
cost of advanced pollution control systems to “conventional” technologies for the control of
particulate, SO2 and NOx. Of importance also was the ability to consider pre-combustion,
combustion and post-combustion control methods employed alone or in combination to meet
tough air pollution emission standards. Finally, the ability to conduct probabilistic analyses is a
unique capability of the IECM. Key results are characterized as distribution functions rather than
as single deterministic values.
In this report we document the analytical basis for several model enhancements and also
document updates to various process technology models described in Reference (1). Chapter 2
begins with a summary of refinements to the base power plant model representing conventional
technology. Chapters 3 through 7 describe several improvements for advanced post-combustion
control methods, including new models of byproduct recovery systems. Finally, Chapters 8 to 10
present several new models for pre-combustion control methods employing advanced coal
beneficiation techniques. Illustrative examples of model applications are contained within the
various chapters. An additional Case study illustrating the use of the IECM for probabilistic
analyses and process evaluations appears in the Appendix

the synthesis challenges that come with these materials, there's a pressing need to find
efficient ways to study and predict their properties. Machine learning (ML) offers a promising
way in this direction. In our research, five distinct machine learning or deep learning models
were trained on a dataset derived from DFT to study and predict the bandgap of MHPs. The
models evaluated were Support Vector Regression (SVR-rbf), Random Forest (RF), Recurrent
Neural Network (RNN), Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and Bayesian Neural Network
(BNN). We used feature engineering to identify the atomic number of A, B, and X site atoms
and the cell volume as the most important features for predicting the bandgap, followed by
the hyperparameters tuning to optimize models. Performance evaluation of the models,
based on Mean Squared Error (MSE) and computing time, revealed that the RF model
outperformed others in both accuracy and efficiency. Notably, The RF model's predictions
were in excellent agreement with experimental data. The findings from the study emphasize
the viability of ML models, particularly the RF model, in predicting properties of MHPs using
select features. The results of this study also provide insights into the capabilities and
limitations of other ML models for materials science research. The research establishes the RF
model's efficacy in predicting bandgap for MHPs, laying a foundation for future research in
this area.

description: There is growing international interest in carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology to reduce carbon dioxide emissions linked to global climate change. CCS is especially attractive for electric power plants burning coal and other fossil fuels, which are a major source of global CO2 emissions. This paper describes the performance and cost of CO2 capture technologies for large-scale electric power plants including pulverized coal (PC), natural gas combined cycle (NGCC), and integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plants. Different types of capture technologies, including pre-combustion, post-combustion, and oxyfuel combustion capture systems are discussed, along with the outlook for new or improved technology. Future cost for power plants with CO2 capture are estimated using both a “bottom-up” approach based on engineering analysis and a “top-down” approach based on historical experience curves. The limitations of such projections are discussed along with needs for future research, development and demonstration of CCS technology. The most urgent need at this time is financing for several full-scale demonstrations of CCS at coal-based power plants.

description: Physical interactions between particles are the result of the exchange of gauge bosons. Human interactions are mediated by the exchange of messages, goods, money, promises, hostilities, etc. While in the physical world interactions and their associated forces have immediate dynamical consequences (Newton's law) the situation is not clear for human interactions. Here we study the acceleration between humans who interact through the exchange of messages, goods and hostilities in a massive multiplayer online game. For this game we have complete information about all interactions (exchange events) between about 1/2 million players, and about their trajectories (positions) in a metric space of the game universe at any point in time. We derive the interaction potentials for communication, trade and attacks and show that they are harmonic in nature. Individuals who exchange messages and trade goods generally attract each other and start to separate immediately after exchange events stop. The interaction potential for attacks mirrors the usual "hit-and-run" tactics of aggressive players. By measuring interaction intensities as a function of distance, velocity and acceleration, we show that "forces" between players are directly related to the number of exchange events. The power-law of the likelihood for interactions vs. distance is in accordance with previous real world empirical work. We show that the obtained potentials can be understood with a simple model assuming an exchange-driven force in combination with a distance dependent exchange rate.

Updated Event Selection for the PROSPECT Experiment
Creators: name: Xiaobin Lu
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: PROSPECT aims to measure highly enriched $^{235}$U reactor anti-neutrino energy spectrum with high precision and to model-independently search for eV$^2$ sterile neutrino oscillations. PROSPECT is an optical segmented detector filled with $\sim$4 ton $^6$Li-loaded liquid scintillator and deployed at $\sim$7m from compact reactor core in HFIR(High Flux Isotope Reactor). In order to detect reactor anti-neutrinos via IBD (Inverse Beta Decay) processes, we developed an analysis framework based on the liquid scintillator PSD (Pulse Shape Discrimination) particle-identification and the temporal-spatial correlations in the IBD processes. Additional cosmogenic veto cuts mitigate high on-surface cosmogenic backgrounds. Previously we reported $^{235}$U anti-neutrino spectrum and sterile neutrino oscillation result based on $\sim$ 30 days' reactor on data-taking. Here we describe improvements to the IBD event selection applied to a larger data set with approximately twice the IBD statistics.

description: The debate over “network neutrality” has recently emerged as the single most important
communications policy issue—at least within the United States—that is now being debated around the
world. The resolution of this debate may greatly influence what applications and content are available to
Internet users, which business models are successful for service providers, which modes of social
communication develop, and which technical designs are effective. As applications move to become
Internet Protocol (IP)-based, the reverberations will also reach those sectors that build on or compete with
the Internet, including the telephone, television, radio, and electronic commerce sectors. The magnitude
of this issue demands careful consideration by policymakers. The papers in this special issue can serve as
a valuable basis for such consideration.

$B_{s,d}-\bar{B}_{s,d}$ mixings and $B_{s,d}\to\ell^+\ell^-$ decays within the Manohar-Wise model

description: In this paper, we perform a complete one-loop computation of the short-distance Wilson coefficients for $B_{s,d}-\bar{B}_{s,d}$ mixings and $B_{s,d}\to\ell^+\ell^-$ decays in the Manohar-Wise model, which extends the SM scalar sector by a colour-octet and weak-doublet scalar. Based on these calculations, combined constraints on the model parameters are derived from the current flavour data, including the $B_{s,d}-{\bar{B}}_{s,d}$ mixings, $B_{s,d}\toμ^+μ^-$, $B\to X_sγ$, $B\to K^{\ast}γ$, $B\toργ$, and $Z\to b \bar{b}$ decays. The future sensitivity to the model is also explored in the observables achievable with $50~{\rm fb}^{-1}$ of LHCb and $50~{\rm ab}^{-1}$ of Belle-II data. We find that the Manohar-Wise model could explain the current data, especially when the couplings of the charged colour-octet scalars to quarks are complex, with the resulting $χ^2_{\rm min}$ being significantly smaller than that of the SM. Finally, we investigate correlations among the two isospin asymmetries $Δ(K^*γ)$ and $Δ(ργ)$, as well as the averaged time-integrated branching ratios $\bar{\mathcal B}(B_{s,d}\to μ^+μ^-)$; some of them are found to be quite strong and could, therefore, provide further insights into the model, once more precise experimental measurements and theoretical predictions for these observables are available in the future.

Upgrade of Honda atmospheric neutrino flux calculation with implementing recent hadron interaction measurements

description: We will present the strategy to refurbish a simulation code ATMNC developed by M. Honda which provides an accurate atmospheric neutrino (atm-$\nu$) flux prediction and has greatly contributed to the neutrino experimental physics including Super-Kamiokande (SK). The dominant uncertainty of the Honda's calculation arises from insufficient understanding of the hadron interactions inside air showers. Many precise measurements for hadron production using accelerator beams have been performed or planned. Our goal is to incorporate these accelerator-data-driven modifications into ATMNC. This allows the systematic uncertainty of atm-$\nu$ oscillation analysis to be evaluated based on the accelerator measurements. In addition, the accelerator measurements provide kaon production data that plays important role in high energy flux. In this poster, we will show how the accelerator data are integrate into ATMNC, and evaluate the impact on the flux and its uncertainty.
Preparing to Observe the Next Galactic Supernova with IceCube

Year: 2020

description: The next Galactic supernova will be a historic opportunity for multi-messenger astronomy. A core collapse will produce a neutrino burst visible up to half a day before electromagnetic radiation from the explosion, providing an early warning for optical follow-up and valuable insight about the proto-neutron star. Since local supernovae are exceedingly rare, it is critical that neutrino detectors provide prompt alerts after the arrival of a burst. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is currently the world's largest neutrino detector and is operating with >99% uptime, making it a crucial component of the worldwide network of detectors known as the SuperNova Early Warning System (SNEWS). We will discuss the sensitivity of IceCube to supernovae near the Milky Way and describe the "data challenges" used to ensure the readiness of the detector. We will also discuss the coordination of IceCube alerts with other neutrino detectors in SNEWS.
Spallation Studies in Super Kamiokande
Creators: name: Locke, Scott
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Super-Kamiokande (SK) observes about 2 muons a second at a depth of 1 km. A fraction of these muons shower, and sometimes create radioactive isotopes (spallation) which live from microseconds to seconds. This is the dominant background to neutrinos between 6 and 20 MeV, with oxygen spallation mostly caused by neutrons and pions. Detection of neutrons produced by muons serves both as an effective tag as well as an independent position measurement of spallation production. Recently, techniques utilizing these neutrons has been developed, along with improvements to former spallation tagging methods. These have reduced deadtime by ~55% (~45%) where neutron data is available (unavailable), increased signal by ~11%, and reduced relative error by ~6% for the SK-IV solar neutrino sample. SK Gadolinium phase will also improve the neutron detection efficiency and muon time correlation. These techniques may prove critical for Hyper-Kamiokande.
