Neutrino and Charm Physics with CHORUS Francesca Spada NIKHEF Annual Scientific Meeting - 13/12/2001 CHORUS Emulsion PhysicsMeasurement principles Neutrino interactions take place in a target/detector of nuclear emulsions direct observation of short lived particle decays 770 Kg of nuclear emulsions divided in 4 stacks perpendicular to the beam Very high spatial resolution (~1μm) with 300 tridimensional hits/mm Suitable to detect the decay signature: Interaction vertex Short t or charm path ~ 1 mm A kink as decay topology Oscillation physics: search for nt appearance in a pure nm beam nm energy well above t production threshold An electronic detector reconstructs the kinematics and allows trace-back to the interaction vertex in emulsion CHORUS was exposed during 4 years to the WBB from SPS at CERN 5 . 1019 POTs leading to 840,000 nμ CC interactions in emulsion Eprotons = 450 GeV Intense nμ beam with En ~ 27 GeV Prompt nt unavoidable but negligible (~0.1 bg events expected in total) The CHORUS detectorHybrid emulsion/electronic tracking Emulsion data acquisitionThe Nagoya Track Selector CCD image: 120×150 μm Focal depth: 3 μm Emulsion data acquisitionThe Nikhef/CERN scanning facility CHORUS Oscillation PhysicsResults and perspectives Non-Emulsion physics with CHORUSNIKHEF activities Deep inelastic scattering - Measurement of structure functions (R. Oldeman, ‘98 data) Charm production in the calorimeter (C. v/d Poel, R. van Dantzig) DIS Workig Group ? finalize data for publication 4-Target data - Study neutrino cross section in different materials (R. Oldeman, I. Hristova, R. van Dantzig, M. de Jong) CHORUS Phase II Scanning speed increased from 0.01 frames/sec in 1994 to 10,000 in 2000 Automatic scanning of a large emulsion volume is now feasible! New predictions/locations (mainly 0μ) to increase by 80 Kevents the current sample of ~164 Kevents (scan-back started) For each (old and new) located event ? full event analysis in the ver
