Abstract: Abstract The CYGNO experiment aims to build a large ( $$\mathcal {O}(10)$$ O ( 10 ) m $$^3$$ 3 ) directional detector for rare event searches, such as nuclear recoils (NRs) induced by dark matter (DM), such as weakly interactive massive particles (WIMPs). The detector concept comprises a time projection chamber (TPC), filled with a He:CF $$_4$$ 4 60/40 scintillating gas mixture at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, equipped with an amplification stage made of a stack of three gas electron multipliers (GEMs) which are coupled to an optical readout. The latter consists in scientific CMOS (sCMOS) cameras and photomultipliers tubes (PMTs). The maximisation of the light yield of the amplification stage plays a major role in the determination of the energy threshold of the experiment. In this paper, we simulate the effect of the addition of a strong electric field below the last GEM plane on the GEM field structure and we experimentally test it by means of a 10 $$\times $$ × 10 cm $$^2$$ 2 readout area prototype. The experimental measurements analyse stacks of different GEMs and helium concentrations in the gas mixture combined with this extra electric field, studying their performances in terms of light yield, energy resolution and intrinsic diffusion. It is found that the use of this additional electric field permits large light yield increases without degrading intrinsic characteristics of the amplification stage with respect to the regular use of GEMs.

2. A 50 l Cygno prototype overground characterization

Abstract: Abstract The nature of dark matter is still unknown and an experimental program to look for dark matter particles in our Galaxy should extend its sensitivity to light particles in the GeV mass range and exploit the directional information of the DM particle motion (Vahsen et al. in CYGNUS: feasibility of a nuclear recoil observatory with directional sensitivity to dark matter and neutrinos, arXiv:2008.12587 , 2020). The Cygno project is studying a gaseous time projection chamber operated at atmospheric pressure with a Gas Electron Multiplier (Sauli in Nucl Instrum Meth A 386:531, https://doi.org/10.1016/S0168-9002(96)01172-2 , 1997) amplification and with an optical readout as a promising technology for light dark matter and directional searches. In this paper we describe the operation of a 50 l prototype named LIME (Long Imaging ModulE) in an overground location at Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (LNF) of INFN. This prototype employs the technology under study for the 1 cubic meter Cygno demonstrator to be installed at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) (Amaro et al. in Instruments 2022, 6(1), https://www.mdpi.com/2410-390X/6/1/6 , 2022). We report the characterization of LIME with photon sources in the energy range from few keV to several tens of keV to understand the performance of the energy reconstruction of the emitted electron. We achieved a low energy threshold of few keV and an energy resolution over the whole energy range of 10–20%, while operating the detector for several weeks continuously with very high operational efficiency. The energy spectrum of the reconstructed electrons is then reported and will be the basis to identify radio-contaminants of the LIME materials to be removed for future Cygno detectors.

3. SN1987A neutrino burst: limits on flavor conversion

Author: Pedro Dedin Neto, Marcos V. dos Santos, Pedro Cunha de Holanda, and Ernesto Kemp
Subjects: Astrophysics, QB460-466, Nuclear and particle physics. Atomic energy. Radioactivity, QC770-798
Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we revisit the SN1987A neutrino data to see its constraints on flavor conversion. We are motivated by the fact that most works that analyze this data consider a specific conversion mechanism, such as the MSW (Mikheyev–Smirnov–Wolfenstein) effect, although flavor conversion is still an open question in supernovae due to the presence of neutrino–neutrino interactions. In our analysis, instead of considering a specific conversion mechanism, we let the electron antineutrino survival probability $$P_{{\overline{e}}{\overline{e}}}$$ P e ¯ e ¯ be a free parameter. We fit the data from Kamiokande-II, Baksan, and IMB detected spectrum with two classes of models: time-integrated and time-dependent. For the time-integrated model, it is not possible to put limits above $$1\sigma $$ 1 σ (68% confidence level) on the survival probability. The same happens for the time-dependent model when cooling is the only mechanism of antineutrino emission. However, for models considering an accretion phase, $$P_{{\overline{e}}{\overline{e}}}\sim 0$$ P e ¯ e ¯ ∼ 0 is strongly rejected, showing a preference for the existence of an accretion component in the detected antineutrino flux, and a preference for normal mass ordering when only the MSW is present.

Abstract: The Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) are a choice for the next generation of large neutrino detectors due to their optimal performance in particle tracking and calorimetry. The detection of Argon scintillation light plays a crucial role in the event reconstruction as well as the time reference for non-beam physics such as supernovae neutrino detection and baryon number violation studies. In this contribution, we present the current R&D work on the ARAPUCA (Argon R&D Advanced Program at UNICAMP), a light trap device to enhance Ar scintillation light collection and thus the overall performance of LArTPCs. The ARAPUCA working principle is based on a suitable combination of dichroic filters and wavelength shifters to achieve a high efficiency in light collection. We discuss the operational principles, the last results of laboratory tests and the application of the ARAPUCA as the alternative photon detection system in the protoDUNE detector.

Abstract: Liquid scintillators are a common choice for neutrino physics experiments, but their capabilities to perform background rejection by scintillation pulse shape discrimination is generally limited in large detectors. This paper describes a novel approach for a pulse shape based event classification developed in the context of the Double Chooz reactor antineutrino experiment. Unlike previous implementations, this method uses the Fourier power spectra of the scintillation pulse shapes to obtain event-wise information. A classification variable built from spectral information was able to achieve an unprecedented performance, despite the lack of optimization at the detector design level. Several examples of event classification are provided, ranging from differentiation between the detector volumes and an efficient rejection of instrumental light noise, to some sensitivity to the particle type, such as stopping muons, ortho-positronium formation, alpha particles as well as electrons and positrons. In combination with other techniques the method is expected to allow for a versatile and more efficient background rejection in the future, especially if detector optimization is taken into account at the design level., 27 pages, 14 figures

Abstract: The Neutrinos Angra Experiment has completed a major step by finishing the commissioning of the detector and the data acquisition system at the experimental site located in the Angra dos Reis nuclear power plant. The experiment, consisting of a water-based detector and associated electronics, was designed with the goal of detecting the electron antineutrinos produced by the nuclear reactor. The detection is possible due to the Inverse Beta Decay, where the final products in the water are photons in the UV-to-visible range of the spectrum. The assembled detector comprises three active volumes filled with water: (i) a cubic detector (Target) for electron antineutrinos, covered by 32 8-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), (ii) a lateral layer surrounding the Target (Lateral veto) equipped with 4 PMTs and (iii) a third volume covering the top of both (Top veto), also equipped with 4 PMTs. In the present document the main features of the detector assembly as well as the integration of the readout electronics on-site are reported. Finally, some operational characteristics are shown based on analysis of the first measurements performed with the fully working detector.

Abstract: The last decade was remarkable for neutrino physics. In particular, the phenomenon of neutrino flavor oscillations has been firmly established by a series of independent measurements. All parameters of the neutrino mixing are now known and we have elements to plan a judicious exploration of new scenarios that are opened by these recent advances. With precise measurements, we can test the 3-neutrino paradigm, neutrino mass hierarchy and CP asymmetry in the lepton sector. The future long-baseline experiments are considered to be a fundamental tool to deepen our knowledge of electroweak interactions. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment -- DUNE will detect a broad-band neutrino beam from Fermilab in an underground massive Liquid Argon Time-Projection Chamber at an L/E of about $10^3$ km / GeV to reach good sensitivity for CP-phase measurements and the determination of the mass hierarchy. The dimensions and the depth of the Far Detector also create an excellent opportunity to look for rare signals like proton decay to study violation of baryonic number, as well as supernova neutrino bursts, broadening the scope of the experiment to astrophysics and associated impacts in cosmology. In this presentation, we will discuss the physics motivations and the main experimental features of the DUNE project required to reach its scientific goals., To appear in the proceedings of STARS 2017 symposium (https://indico.cern.ch/event/542644/)

Abstract: A study on cosmic muons has been performed for the two identical near and far neutrino detectors of the Double Chooz experiment, placed at $\sim$120 and $\sim$300 m.w.e. underground respectively, including the corresponding simulations using the MUSIC simulation package. This characterization has allowed to measure the muon flux reaching both detectors to be (3.64 $\pm$ 0.04) $\times$ 10$^{-4}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ for the near detector and (7.00 $\pm$ 0.05) $\times$ 10$^{-5}$ cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ for the far one. The seasonal modulation of the signal has also been studied observing a positive correlation with the atmospheric temperature, leading to an effective temperature coefficient of $\alpha_{T}$ = 0.212 $\pm$ 0.024 and 0.355 $\pm$ 0.019 for the near and far detectors respectively. These measurements, in good agreement with expectations based on theoretical models, represent one of the first measurements of this coefficient in shallow depth installations., Comment: 20 pages, 11 figures

Abstract: We report a first measurement for ultrahigh energy cosmic rays of the correlation between the depth of shower maximum and the signal in the water Cherenkov stations of air-showers registered simultaneously by the fluorescence and the surface detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory. Such a correlation measurement is a unique feature of a hybrid air-shower observatory with sensitivity to both the electromagnetic and muonic components. It allows an accurate determination of the spread of primary masses in the cosmic-ray flux. Up till now, constraints on the spread of primary masses have been dominated by systematic uncertainties. The present correlation measurement is not affected by systematics in the measurement of the depth of shower maximum or the signal in the water Cherenkov stations. The analysis relies on general characteristics of air showers and is thus robust also with respect to uncertainties in hadronic event generators. The observed correlation in the energy range around the ‘ankle’ at lg⁡(E/eV)=18.5–19.0 differs significantly from expectations for pure primary cosmic-ray compositions. A light composition made up of proton and helium only is equally inconsistent with observations. The data are explained well by a mixed composition including nuclei with mass A>4. Scenarios such as the proton dip model, with almost pure compositions, are thus disfavored as the sole explanation of the ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray flux at Earth., 0, SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Abstract: The Auger Engineering Radio Array (AERA) is part of the Pierre Auger Observatory and is used to detect the radio emission of cosmic-ray air showers. These observations are compared to the data of the surface detector stations of the Observatory, which provide well-calibrated information on the cosmic-ray energies and arrival directions. The response of the radio stations in the 30-80 MHz regime has been thoroughly calibrated to enable the reconstruction of the incoming electric field. For the latter, the energy deposit per area is determined from the radio pulses at each observer position and is interpolated using a two-dimensional function that takes into account signal asymmetries due to interference between the geomagnetic and charge-excess emission components. The spatial integral over the signal distribution gives a direct measurement of the energy transferred from the primary cosmic ray into radio emission in the AERA frequency range. We measure 15.8 MeV of radiation energy for a 1 EeV air shower arriving perpendicularly to the geomagnetic field. This radiation energy - corrected for geometrical effects - is used as a cosmic-ray energy estimator. Performing an absolute energy calibration against the surface-detector information, we observe that this radio-energy estimator scales quadratically with the cosmic-ray energy as expected for coherent emission. We find an energy resolution of the radio reconstruction of 22% for the data set and 17% for a high-quality subset containing only events with at least five radio stations with signal., La lista completa de autores que integran el documento puede consultarse en el archivo, Instituto de Física La Plata

Abstract: We measure the energy emitted by extensive air showers in the form of radio emission in the frequency range from 30 to 80 MHz. Exploiting the accurate energy scale of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we obtain a radiation energy of 15.8±0.7(stat)±6.7(syst) MeV for cosmic rays with an energy of 1 EeV arriving perpendicularly to a geomagnetic field of 0.24 G, scaling quadratically with the cosmic-ray energy. A comparison with predictions from state-of-the-art first-principles calculations shows agreement with our measurement. The radiation energy provides direct access to the calorimetric energy in the electromagnetic cascade of extensive air showers. Comparison with our result thus allows the direct calibration of any cosmic-ray radio detector against the well-established energy scale of the Pierre Auger Observatory., La lista completa de autores que integran el documento puede consultarse en el archivo, Instituto de Física La Plata

Abstract: We present the first hybrid measurement of the average muon number in air showers at ultrahigh energies, initiated by cosmic rays with zenith angles between 62° and 80°. The measurement is based on 174 hybrid events recorded simultaneously with the surface detector array and the fluorescence detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory. The muon number for each shower is derived by scaling a simulated reference profile of the lateral muon density distribution at the ground until it fits the data. A 1019eV shower with a zenith angle of 67°, which arrives at the surface detector array at an altitude of 1450 m above sea level, contains on average (2.68±0.04±0.48(sys))×107 muons with energies larger than 0.3 GeV. The logarithmic gain dlnNμ/dlnE of muons with increasing energy between 4×1018eV and 5×1019eV is measured to be (1.029±0.024±0.030(sys))., La lista completa de autores que integran el documento puede consultarse en el archivo, Instituto de Física La Plata

Abstract: We analyze the distribution of arrival directions of ultra-high energy cosmic rays recorded at the Pierre Auger Observatory in 10 years of operation. The data set, about three times larger than that used in earlier studies, includes arrival directions with zenith angles up to $80^\circ$, thus covering from $-90^\circ$ to $+45^\circ$ in declination. After updating the fraction of events correlating with the active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the V��ron-Cetty and V��ron catalog, we subject the arrival directions of the data with energies in excess of 40 EeV to different tests for anisotropy. We search for localized excess fluxes and for self-clustering of event directions at angular scales up to $30^\circ$ and for different threshold energies between 40~EeV and 80~EeV. We then look for correlations of cosmic rays with celestial structures both in the Galaxy (the Galactic Center and Galactic Plane) and in the local Universe (the Super-Galactic Plane). We also examine their correlation with different populations of nearby extragalactic objects: galaxies in the 2MRS catalog, AGNs detected by Swift-BAT, radio galaxies with jets and the Centaurus~A galaxy. None of the tests shows a statistically significant evidence of anisotropy. The strongest departures from isotropy (post-trial probability ${\sim}1.4$\%) are obtained for cosmic rays with $E>58$~EeV in rather large windows around Swift AGNs closer than 130~Mpc and brighter than $10^{44}$~erg/s (18$^\circ$ radius) and around the direction of Centaurus~A (15$^\circ$ radius)., Replaced with published version.

Abstract: The Double Chooz experiment measures the neutrino mixing angle θ13 by detecting reactor ν¯e via inverse beta decay. The positron-neutron space and time coincidence allows for a sizable background rejection, nonetheless liquid scintillator detectors would profit from a positron/electron discrimination, if feasible in large detector, to suppress the remaining background. Standard particle identification, based on particle dependent time profile of photon emission in liquid scintillator, can not be used given the identical mass of the two particles. However, the positron annihilation is sometimes delayed by the ortho-positronium (o-Ps) metastable state formation, which induces a pulse shape distortion that could be used for positron identification. In this paper we report on the first observation of positronium formation in a large liquid scintillator detector based on pulse shape analysis of single events. The o-Ps formation fraction and its lifetime were measured, finding the values of 44% ± 12% (sys.) ± 5% (stat.) and 3.68ns ± 0.17ns (sys.) ± 0.15ns (stat.) respectively, in agreement with the results obtained with a dedicated positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy setup., National Science Foundation (U.S.), United States.

Abstract: The Double Chooz experiment presents improved measurements of the neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ using the data collected in 467.90 live days from a detector positioned at an average distance of 1050 m from two reactor cores at the Chooz nuclear power plant. Several novel techniques have been developed to achieve significant reductions of the backgrounds and systematic uncertainties with respect to previous publications, whereas the efficiency of the $\bar\nu_{e}$ signal has increased. The value of $\theta_{13}$ is measured to be $\sin^{2}2\theta_{13} = 0.090 ^{+0.032}_{-0.029}$ from a fit to the observed energy spectrum. Deviations from the reactor $\bar\nu_{e}$ prediction observed above a prompt signal energy of 4 MeV and possible explanations are also reported. A consistent value of $\theta_{13}$ is obtained from a fit to the observed rate as a function of the reactor power independently of the spectrum shape and background estimation, demonstrating the robustness of the $\theta_{13}$ measurement despite the observed distortion., Comment: 44 pages, 25 figures. Figures 21 and 22 have been replaced (statistical error bars for bins above 8 MeV have become smaller). No other changes in the results of the paper; an Erratum submitted to JHEP

Abstract: Spherical harmonic moments are well-suited for capturing anisotropy at any scale in the flux of cosmic rays. An unambiguous measurement of the full set of spherical harmonic coefficients requires full-sky coverage. This can be achieved by combining data from observatories located in both the northern and southern hemispheres. To this end, a joint analysis using data recorded at the Telescope Array and the Pierre Auger Observatory above 1019 eV is presented in this work. The resulting multipolar expansion of the flux of cosmic rays allows us to perform a series of anisotropy searches, and in particular to report on the angular power spectrum of cosmic rays above 1019 eV. No significant deviation from isotropic expectations is found throughout the analyses performed. Upper limits on the amplitudes of the dipole and quadrupole moments are derived as a function of the direction in the sky, varying between 7% and 13% for the dipole and between 7% and 10% for a symmetric quadrupole., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: The importance of an adequate CNGS beam monitor at the Gran Sasso Laboratory has been stressed in many papers. Since the number of internal $\nu_\mu$ CC and NC interactions in the various detectors will not allow to collect statistics rapidly, one should also be able to detect the $\nu_\mu$ CC interactions in the upstream rock. In this study we have investigated the performances of the LVD detector as a monitor for the CNGS neutrino beam. Thanks to its wide area ($13 \times 11 m^2$ orthogonal to the beam direction) LVD can detect about 120 muons per day originated by $\nu_\mu$ CC interactions in the rock. The LVD total mass is $\sim2 kt$. This allows to get 30 more CNGS events per day as internal $(NC + CC)$ $\nu_\mu$ interactions, for a total of $\sim 150$ events per day. A 3% statistical error can be reached in 7 days. Taking into account the time characteristics of the CNGS beam, the cosmic muon background can be reduced to a negligible level, of the order of 1.5 events per day., Comment: 15 pages, 11 figures, submitted to Nucl.

Abstract: We have studied the phase transition from hadronic to quark matter inside neutron stars, we calculate the rate and emissivity for all the relevant weak interaction processes and solve the Boltzmann transport equation, considering the effect of strong interactions in the perturbative regime to the order of QCD coupling constant [Formula: see text]. We find that the neutrino and antineutrino emissivity is around of 10[Formula: see text] erg.

Abstract: We present a search for Lorentz violation with 8249 candidate electron antineutrino events taken by the Double Chooz experiment in 227.9 live days of running. This analysis, featuring a search for a sidereal time dependence of the events, is the first test of Lorentz invariance using a reactor-based antineutrino source. No sidereal variation is present in the data and the disappearance results are consistent with sidereal time independent oscillations. Under the Standard-Model Extension (SME), we set the first limits on fourteen Lorentz violating coefficients associated with transitions between electron and tau flavor, and set two competitive limits associated with transitions between electron and muon flavor., Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures; (new version after referee's comments)

Abstract: The neutrino telescopes of the present generation, depending on their specific features, can reconstruct the neutrino spectra from a galactic burst. Since the optical counterpart could be not available, it is desirable to have at hand alternative methods to estimate the distance of the supernova explosion using only the neutrino data. In this work we present preliminary results on the method we are proposing to estimate the distance from a galactic supernova based only on the spectral shape of the neutrino burst and assumptions on the gravitational binding energy released an a typical supernova explosion due to stellar collapses., Comment: Proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Strong Electromagnetic Fields and Neutron Stars (SMFNS 2011) Instituto de Cibern\'etica, Matem\'atica y F\'isica (ICIMAF) Sociedad Cubana de F\'isica (SCF) Varadero, Cuba, 5-7 May 2011

Abstract: The southern Pierre Auger Observatory has been detecting cosmic rays above 1018eV since 2004, exploiting a hybrid air shower detection technique, with 1660 water Cherenkov detectors together with 24 air fluorescence telescopes on a 3000 km2 site. As low energy enhancements to the observatory, 3 additional telescopes with elevated fields of view were built (HEAT). The detector density was increased in the HEAT fields of view by a factor of four in an area of about 25 km2. This setup enables unbiased hybrid data taking above 1017eV. The infilled area is also being equipped with large underground scintillator muon detectors (AMIGA). Finally, a prototype array of radio antenna stations (AERA), working from 30 to 80 MHz, has been installed in a part of the infill. Properties and status of AMIGA, HEAT, and AERA are presented.

Abstract: In this work we analyze the effect of smoothing maps containing arrival directions of cosmic rays with a gaussian kernel and kernels of the mexican hat wavelets of orders 1, 2 and 3. The analysis is performed by calculating the amplification of the signal-to-noise ratio for several anisotropy patterns (noise) and different number of events coming from a simulated source (signal) for an ideal detector capable of observing the full sky with equal probability. We extend this analysis for a virtual detector located within the array of detectors of the Pierre Auger Observatory, considering an acceptance law., 9 pages, 8 figures.

Abstract: The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory consists of 1600 water-Cherenkov detectors, for the study of extensive airshowers (EAS) generated by ultra-high-energy cosmic rays. We describe the trigger hierarchy, from the identification of candidates howers at the level of a single detector, amongst a large background (mainly random single cosmic ray muons), up to the selection of real events and the rejection of random coincidences. Such trigger makes the surface detector array fully efficient for the detection of EAS with energy above 3 x 1018 eV, for all zenith angles between 03 and 603, independently of the position of the impact point and of the mass of the primary particle. In the serange of energies and angles, the exposure of the surface array can be determined purely on the basis of the geometrical acceptance., La lista completa de autores puede consultarse en el documento o en la página web de la revista., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: Data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory through 31 August 2007 showed evidence for anisotropy in the arrival directions of cosmic rays above the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuz'min energy threshold, 6 x 10(19) eV. The anisotropy was measured by the fraction of arrival directions that are less than 3.1 degrees from the position of an active galactic nucleus within 75 Mpc (using the Veron-Cetty and Veron 12th catalog). An updated measurement of this fraction is reported here using the arrival directions of cosmic rays recorded above the same energy threshold through 31 December 2009. The number of arrival directions has increased from 27 to 69, allowing a more precise measurement. The correlating fraction is (38(-6)(+7))%, compared with 21% expected for isotropic cosmic rays. This is down from the early estimate of (69-(+11)(13))%. The enlarged set of arrival directions is examined also in relation to other populations of nearby extragalactic objects: galaxies in the 2 Microns All Sky Survey and active galactic nuclei detected in hard X-rays by the Swift Burst Alert Telescope. A celestial region around the position of the radiogalaxy Cen A has the largest excess of arrival directions relative to isotropic expectations. The 2-point autocorrelation function is shown for the enlarged set of arrival directions and compared to the isotropic expectation., We are very grateful to the following agencies and organizations for financial support: Comision Nacional de Energia Atomica, Fundacion Antorchas, Gobierno De La Provincia de Mendoza, Municipalidad de Malargue, NDM Holdings and Valle Las Lenas, in gratitude for their continuing cooperation over land access, Argentina; the Australian Research Council; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPq), Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (FINEP), Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ), Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP), Ministerio de Ciencia e Tecnologia (MCT), Brazil; AVCR AV0Z10100502 and AV0Z10100522, GAAV KJB300100801 and KJB100100904, MSMT-CR LA08016, LC527, 1M06002, and MSM0021620859, Czech Republic; Centre de Calcul IN2P3/CNRS, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Conseil Regional Ile-de-France, Departement Physique Nucleaire et Corpusculaire (PNC-IN2P3/CNRS), Departement Sciences de l'Univers (SDU-1NSU/CNRS), France; Bundesministerium fur Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), Finanzministerium Baden-Wurttemberg, Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft Deutscher Forschungszentren (HGF), Ministerium fur Wissenschaft und Forschung, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Ministerium fur Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica (INAF), Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Universita e della Ricerca (MIUR), Italy; Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia (CONACYT), Mexico; Ministerie van Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap, Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), Stichting voor Fundamenteel Onderzoek der Materie (FOM), Netherlands; Ministry of Science and Higher Education, Grant Nos. 1 P03 D 014 30 and N N202 207238, Poland; Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia, Portugal; Ministry for Higher Education, Science, and Technology, Slovenian Research Agency, Slovenia; Comunidad de Madrid, Consejeria de Educacion de la Comunidad de Castilla La Mancha, FEDER funds, Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion and Consolider-Ingenio 2010 (CPAN), Generalitat Valenciana, Junta de Andalucia, Xunta de Galicia, Spain; Science and Technology Facilities Council, United Kingdom; Department of Energy, Contract Nos.

Abstract: Data collected by the Pierre Auger Observatory provide evidence for anisotropy in the arrival directions of the cosmic rays with the ighest-energies, which are correlated with the positions of relatively nearby active galactic nuclei (AGN) [Pierre Auger Collaboration, Science 318 (2007) 938]. The correlation has maximum significance for cosmic rays with energy greater than ~6 x 1019 eV and AGN at a distance less than ~75 Mpc. We have confirmed the anisotropy at a confidence level of more than 99% through a test with parameters specified a priori, using an independent data set. The observed correlation is compatible with the hypothesis that cosmic rays with the highest-energies originate from extra-galactic sources close enough so that their flux is not significantly attenuated by interaction with the cosmic background radiation (the Greisen–Zatsepin–Kuz’min effect). The angular scale of the correlation observed is a few degrees, which suggests a predominantly light composition unless the magnetic fields are very weak outside the thin disk of our galaxy. Our present data do not identify AGN as the sources of cosmic rays unambiguously, and other candidate sources which are distributed as nearby AGN are not ruled out. We discuss the prospect of unequivocal identification of individual sources of the highest-energy cosmic rays within a few years of continued operation of the Pierre Auger Observatory., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: The CERN Neutrino to Gran Sasso (CNGS) project aims to produce a high energy, wide band $\nu_{\mu}$ beam at CERN and send it toward the INFN Gran Sasso National Laboratory (LNGS), 732 km away. Its main goal is the observation of the $\nu_{\tau}$ appearance, through neutrino flavour oscillation. The beam started its operation in August 2006 for about 12 days: a total amount of $7.6~10^{17}$ protons were delivered to the target. The LVD detector, installed in hall A of the LNGS and mainly dedicated to the study of supernova neutrinos, was fully operating during the whole CNGS running time. A total number of 569 events were detected in coincidence with the beam spill time. This is in good agreement with the expected number of events from Montecarlo simulations., Comment: Accepted for publication by the European Physical Journal C ; 7 pages, 11 figures

Abstract: We present the status and plans of the Angra Project, a new nuclear reactor neutrino oscillation experiment, proposed to be built in Brazil at the Angra dos Reis nuclear reactor complex. This experiment is aimed to measure theta_13, the last unknown of the three neutrino mixing angles. Combining a high luminosity design, very low background from cosmic rays and careful control of systematic errors at the 1% level, we propose a high sensitivity multi-detector experiment, able to reach a sensitivity to antineutrino disappearance down to sin^2(2*theta_13) = 0.006 in a three years running period, improving present limits constrained by the CHOOZ experiment by more than an order of magnitude., Comment: 2 pages, 1 figure, talk presented by J.C.

Abstract: Construction of the first stage of the Pierre Auger Observatory has begun. The aim of the Observatory is to collect unprecedented information about cosmic rays above 10^18 eV. The first phase of the project, the construction and operation of a prototype system, known as the engineering array, has now been completed. It has allowed all of the sub-systems that will be used in the full instrument to be tested under field conditions. In this paper, the properties and performance of these sub-systems are described and their success illustrated with descriptions of some of the events recorded thus far., La lista completa de autores puede verse en el archivo asociado., Facultad de Ciencias Exactas

Abstract: Apresentamos uma atividade experimental de física moderna realizada com um telescópio de múons da radiação cósmica. A montagem do telescópio, feita com cintiladores plásticos, e a eletrônica utilizada são descritas. Utilizando a mecânica clássica e a teoria especial da relatividade, calculamos a intensidade esperada para os múons na superfície da Terra. Medimos uma intensidade vertical de (141 ± 1) múons/(m².s.sr) em Campinas e demonstramos que somente com a dilatação do tempo de vida dos múons, ou a contração do espaço no referencial do múon, podemos explicar os resultados experimentais. We present a modern physics experiment using a cosmic ray muons telescope. The telescope assembly with plastic scintillators and modular electronics is described. The classical mechanics and the special theory of relativity are used to calculate the intensity of múons on the Earth's surface. The vertical intensity measured at Campinas was (141 ± 1) muons/(m².s.sr) and can be explained with the muons lifetime dilatation or length contraction in the muon rest frame.

Abstract: This document describes the conceptual design for the Offline Software and Computing for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). The goals of the experiment include 1) studying neutrino oscillations using a beam of neutrinos sent from Fermilab in Illinois to the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota, 2) studying astrophysical neutrino sources and rare processes and 3) understanding the physics of neutrino interactions in matter. We describe the development of the computing infrastructure needed to achieve the physics goals of the experiment by storing, cataloging, reconstructing, simulating, and analyzing $\sim$ 30 PB of data/year from DUNE and its prototypes. Rather than prescribing particular algorithms, our goal is to provide resources that are flexible and accessible enough to support creative software solutions and advanced algorithms as HEP computing evolves. We describe the physics objectives, organization, use cases, and proposed technical solutions., Comment: 229 pages, 67 figures

Abstract: We present the status and plans of the Angra Project, a new reactor neutrino oscillation experiment, proposed to be built in Brazil at the Angra dos Reis nuclear complex. This experiment is aimed to measure theta13, the last unknown of the three neutrino mixing angles. We propose a high sensitivity multi-detector experiment, able to reach a sensitivity to antineutrino disappearance down to sin² 2theta13 = 0.006 in a three years running period, by combining a high luminosity design, very low background from cosmic rays and careful control of systematic errors. We also intend to explore the possibility to use the neutrino detector for purposes of safeguards and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.

Abstract: The deflection of ultra-high energy cosmic rays depends on the shape of the injection spectrum of the source and the pervasive cosmic magnetic fields. In this work it is applied the wavelet transform on the sphere to search for energy ordered filamentary structures arisen from magnetic bending. These structures, the so-called multiplets, can bring relevant information concerning the intervening magnetic fields., Comment: Extended abstract to be published in Physicae Proceedings, following the XI Young Researchers Meeting, held in Campinas, Brazil in October 2011. 2 pages, 1 figure

46. Ampliando a busca por matéria escura

Author: Keiser Hurtado Montaño, Ivone Freire da Mota e Albuquerque, Ernesto Kemp, and Laerte Sodre Junior
Abstract: Em nossa busca por matéria escura objetivamos testar modelos com auto-interações fortes. Para isto, estimamos o sinal esperado no telescópio Super-Kamiokande (SK) e testamos modelos que expandem a Cold Dark Matter (CDM) para incluir estas auto-interações (Self-interacting dark matter-SIDM). A inclusão destas interações podem resolver as inconsistências de CDM em escalas galácticas. O SK testa modelos de matéria escura em forma indireta, detectando neutrinos provenientes da aniquilação de matéria escura. Testamos modelos SIDM, comparando nossa estimativa com os resultados obtidos do experimento SK, ou seja, comparando nosso número estimado de eventos de múons ascendentes no detector com os da colaboração SK. Dada a auto-interação de matéria escura, o número de neutrinos provenientes do Sol será maior do que para CDM sem colisões. Analisamos os neutrinos provenientes dos canais de aniquilação em W+W- e bb. O sinal obtido nessa análise é consistente com o fundo de múons atmosféricos, portanto, não foi encontrado excesso significativo de múons ascendentes induzidos por neutrinos vindos do Sol. Desta forma nossos resultados excluíram uma região significativa de modelos SIDM. Os canais de aniquilação considerados, incluem neutrinos mais energéticos provenientes do canal W+W- e menos energéticos do canal bb. Dado o baixo limiar de energia do SK, quando comparado ao telescópio IceCube, obtivemos resultados mais restringentes para o canal bb. In our search for dark matter, we aim to test models with strong self-interactions. For this, we estimate the expected signal on the Super-Kamiokande (SK) telescope and test models that expand the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) to include these self-interactions (Self-interacting dark matter-SIDM). The inclusion of these interactions can resolve CDM inconsistencies on galactic scales. SK tests dark matter models in an indirect way, detecting neutrinos from the annihilation of dark matter. We tested SIDM models, comparing our estimate with the results obtained from the SK experiment, that is, comparing our estimated number of upward muon events in the detector with those of the SK collaboration. Given the self-interaction of dark matter, the number of neutrinos from the Sun will be greater than for CDM without collisions. We analyzed the neutrinos from the annihilation channels in W+W- and bb. The signal obtained in this analysis is consistent with the background of atmospheric muons, therefore, no significant excess of ascending muons induced by neutrinos from the Sun was found. Thus, our results excluded a significant region of SIDM models. The channels of annihilation considered, include more energetic neutrinos coming from the channel W+W- and less energetic of the channel bb. Given the low energy threshold of SK, when compared to the IceCube telescope, we obtained more stringent results for the channel bb.

47. Sinais experimentais de matéria escura supermassiva e fortemente interagente

Author: Leandro José Beraldo e Silva, Ivone Freire da Mota e Albuquerque, Ernesto Kemp, and Laerte Sodre Junior
Abstract: Há várias evidências experimentais da existência de matéria escura no universo. Apesar destas evidências, pouco se sabe sobre sua constituição, sabendo-se apenas que interage gravitacionalmente, mas não eletromagneticamente. Neste projeto, investigamos a possibilidade da matéria escura ser composta por partículas supermassivas e fortemente interagentes (Simpzillas). Para isto determinamos o sinal que deve ser deixado no telescópio IceCube por neutrinos resultantes de aniquilações de matéria escura no Sol. Após determinarmos o espectro de neutrinos no centro do Sol, simulamos sua propagação até a superfície, depois até a Terra e através da Terra até o detector. Comparamos então estes resultados com os fornecidos pelo IceCube. Esta comparação permite testar uma região do espaço de fase massa versus seção de choque previamente não-excluída por outros tipos de experiência que não telescópios de neutrinos. Como resultado, concluímos que partículas supermassivas e fortemente interagentes não podem constituir a matéria escura. There are many experimental evidences for the existence of dark matter in the universe. Despite these evidences, there is no knowledge about its constitution other than the fact that it interacts gravitationally but not electromagnetically. In this project, we investigate the possibility that dark matter is composed of strongly interacting massive particles (Simpzillas). We determine the expected signal in the IceCube telescope from Simpzilla annihilation in the center of the Sun. We first determine the neutrino spectrum in the core of the Sun. We then simulate its propagation through both the Sun and Earth, and finally the rate of neutrinos at the detector. A comparison of these results to the ones published by the IceCube collaboration covers a large region of the yet not excluded regions of the mass versus cross-section phase space. As a result, the possibility of Simpzillas composing the dark matter is ruled out.

Abstract: PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICO FUNDAÇÃO DE APOIO À PESQUISA DO ESTADO DO RIO DE JANEIRO BOLSA NOTA 10 A oportunidade ímpar da construção do primeiro laboratório subterrâneo no Hemisfério Sul precisa ser alicerçada com importantes objetivos científicos, de maneira a competir com os demais laboratórios já existentes ao redor do planeta. Assim, no intuito de auxiliar na solidificação desta ideia, esta tese tem o propósito de verificar o potencial de um detector de neutrinos no futuro laboratório de ANDES para a observação de neutrinos vindos da próxima Supernova Galáctica. A observação de tais partículas é de fundamental importância para a compreensão do mecanismo de explosão de estrelas e para inferir ou desvendar propriedades dos neutrinos. Para tal, simulamos o número de eventos para o decaimento Beta inverso e para o espalhamento elástico v - p que seriam obtidos com a próxima supernova com o detector de ANDES considerando diferentes tipos de cintiladores líquidos, levando em conta o efeito MSW. Mostramos que através do espalhamento elástico v - p é possível reconstruir o fluxo total de todos os sabores de neutrinos, energia média e total liberados por neutrinos não-eletrônicos. Além disso, a comparação da razão dos números de eventos que vem de corrente carregada (depende da oscilação) e de corrente neutra (independente de oscilação), nos permite inferir a hierarquia de massa para alguns casos. Adicionalmente, estudamos a contribuição do laboratório de ANDES para a observação do efeito de matéria da Terra ao compararmos dados com outros detectores do Hemisfério Norte. Finalmente, investigamos a precisão angular para determinar a direção de uma supernova apenas usando o registro de neutrinos, que pode ser o caso de Supernovas que formam buracos negros ou sofram efeito de obscurecimento devido a poeira interestelar. The unique opportunity of construction of the first underground laboratory in the Southern Hemisphere must be grounded with important scientific goals in order to compete with others already existing laboratories around the word. In order to compete with idea as much as possible, this PhD Thesis aims to investigate the potential of a future neutrino detector at the ANDES laboratory to the observation of such particles is of fundamental importance to understanding the mechanism and starbust inferred or unravel properties of neutrinos as mass hierarchy, for example. To this end, we simulate the number of events for inverse beta decay and the elastic scattering of v - p that would be obtained with nearby supernova at the ANDES detector taking into account different types of liquid scintillator ande the phenomenon of MSW effect. We show that through the v - p elastic scattering is possible to reconstruct the total flux of all flavors of neutrinos, total and average energy released by non-electron neutrinos. furthermore, comparison of the ratio of observed and theoretical prediction, the number of the ANDES laboratory to the Northern Hemisphere. Finally, we investigate the angular precision for determining the direction of the supernova only using its neutrinos, which can be the situation when either supernovae collapses forming black holes or obscuration due to interstellar dust.

49. Indirect probes of superymmetry breaking with meutrino telescopes

Author: Jairo Cavalcante de Souza, Ivone Freire da Mota e Albuquerque, Philippe Gouffon, Ernesto Kemp, Arthur Kos Antunes Maciel, and Marina Nielsen
Abstract: O principal objetivo deste trabalho é propor testes para alguns aspectos do modelo padrão supersimétrico mínimo (MSSM), proposto como extensão do modelo padrão de física de partículas. Mais especificamente, testamos cenários de quebra de supersimetria mediada por interações de calibre (gauge). Mostramos como determinar limites para a escala de quebra de supersimetria e formas de detectar indiretamente partículas supersimétricas. Propomos testes a serem realizados por Telescópios de neutrinos como também por telescópios de uorescência atmosférica. Nestes cenários as partículas supersimétricas se originam a partir da interação de neutrinos cosmológicos de altíssimas energias com núcleons no interior da Terra. Determinamos, a partir de simulações Monte Carlo, os sinais a serem detectados nestes telescópios. A detecção indireta destas partículas é baseada em seu decaimento, que pode ocorrer no interior da Terra ou na atmosfera, produzindo um tau mais um gravitino. Propomos aqui como testar estes cenários, tanto com a detecção de taus em telescópios de neutrinos bem como em telescópios de uorescência atmosférica. Como os decaimentos estão ligados a uma janela restrita para a escala de quebra de supersimetria, entre ~105 GeV e 107 GeV, propomos não somente formas de detectar partículas supersimétricas, mas também, como testar a escala de quebra de supersimetria nos cenários considerados. Mostramos aqui que é possível observar sinais provocados por partículas supersimétricas nas duas situações experimentais avaliadas The main goal of this research is to propose probes of aspects of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), assuming gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking scenarios. More specifically, how to determine limits for the supersymmetry breaking energy scale and ways for indirect detection of supersymmetric particles. We propose tests to be carried out both by neutrino telescopes as well as by atmospheric uorescence. Under these scenarios, supersymmetric particles originate from ultrahigh energy cosmological neutrinos interacting with nucleons inside the Earth. Through Monte Carlo simulations, we determine the signatures will be left in these telescopes. The indirect detection of these particles is based in their decay, which can occur inside the Earth or at the atmosphere, producing a tau plus a gravitino. Here we propose how to probe these scenarios, either by detecting taus, generated in the decay, in neutrino telescopes or in atmospheric uorescence telescopes. As these decays are connected to a restrict window for the supersymmetry breaking energy scale, which would be between ~105 GeV and ~107 GeV, we are proposing not only ways of detecting supersymmetric particles as well as how to probe the supersymmetry breaking energy scale in the scenarios considered. We show here that it is possible to observe these signals in two setups evaluated.

50. Bayesian analysis of two problems in Relativistic Astrophysics: neutrinos from gravitational collapse and mass distribution of neutron stars

Author: Rodolfo Valentim da Costa Lima, Jorge Ernesto Horvath, Marcelo Chiapparini, Ernesto Kemp, José Ademir Sales de Lima, and Germán Lugones
Abstract: O evento estraordinário de SN1987A vem sendo investigado há mais de vinte e cinco anos. O fascínio que cerca tal evento astronômico está relacionado com a observação em tempo real da explosão à luz da Física de neutrinos. Detectores espalhados pelo mundo observaram um surto neutrinos que dias mais tarde foi confirmado como sendo a SN1987A. Kamiokande, IMB e Baksan apresentaram os eventos detectados que permitiu o estudo de modelos para a explosão e resfriamento da hipotética estrela de nêutrons remanescente. Até hoje não há um consenso a origem do progenitor e a natureza do objeto compacto remanescente. O trabalho se divide em duas partes: estudo dos neutrinos de SN1987A através de Análise Estatística Bayesiana através de um modelo proposto com duas temperaturas que evidenciam dois surtos de neutrinos. A motivação está na hipótese do segundo surto como resultado da formação de matéria estranha no objeto compacto. A metodologia empregada foi a desenvolvida por um trabalho interessante de Loredo (2002) que permite modelar e testar hipóteses sobre os modelos via Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). A segunda parte do trabalho, a mesma metodologia estatística é usada no estudo da distribuição de massas das estrelas de nêutrons usando a base de dados disponível (http://stellarcollapse.org). A base de dados foi analisada utilizando somente o valor do objeto e seu desvio padrão. Construindo uma função de verossimilhança e utilizando distribuições ``a priori\'\' com hipótese de bimodalidade da distribuição das massas contra uma distribuição unimodal sobre todas as massas dos objetos. O teste BIC indica forte tendência favorável à existência da bimodalidade com valores centrados em 1.37M para objetos de baixa massa e 1.73M para objetos de alta massa e a confirmação da fraca evidência de um terceiro pico esperado em 1.25M. The extraordinary event of supernova has been investigated twenty five years ago. The fascination surrounds such astronomical event is on the real time observation the explosion at light to neutrino Physics. Detectors spread for the world had observed one burst neutrinos that days later it was confirmed as being of SN1987A. Kamiokande, IMB and Baksan had presented the detected events that allowed to the study of models for the explosion and cooling of hypothetical neutron star remain. Until today it does not have a consensus the origin of the progenitor and the nature of the remaining compact object. The work is divided in two parts: study of the neutrinos of SN1987A through Analysis Bayesiana Statistics through a model considered with two temperatures that two evidence bursts of neutrinos. The motivation is in the hypothesis of as burst as resulted of the formation of strange matter in the compact object. The employed methodology was developed for an interesting work of Loredo & Lamb (2002) that it allows shape and to test hypotheses on the models saw Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). The second part of the work, the same methodology statistics is used in the study of the distribution of masses of the neutron stars using the available database http://stellarcollapse.org/. The database was analyzed only using the value of the object and its shunting line standard. Constructing to a a priori function likelihood and using distributions with hypothesis of bimodal distribution of the masses against a unimodal distribution on all the masses of objects. Test BIC indicates fort favorable trend the existence of the bimodality with values centered in 1.37M for objects of low mass and 1.73M for objects of high mass and week evidence of one third peak around 1.25M.
