Journal ArticleDOI

Study of the effects induced by lead on the emulsion films of the OPERA experiment

A. M. Anokhina, +182 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study was made in order to choose a lead alloy with good mechanical properties and an appropriate packing technique so as to have a low enough effective radioactivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurement of cosmic-ray reconstruction efficiencies in the MicroBooNE LArTPC using a small external cosmic-ray counter

R. Acciarri, +156 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an external 0.5 m (L) x 0. 5 m (W) muon counter stack was used to determine the cosmic-ray reconstruction efficiency in MicroBooNE.

Search for $\nu_\mu \rightarrow \nu_e$ oscillations with the OPERA experiment in the CNGS beam

N. Agafonova, +162 more
TL;DR: The first result of the search for umu $\rightarrow$ ue oscillations in the OPERA experiment, located at the Gran Sasso Underground Laboratory, is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the Electric Breakdown in Liquid Argon at Centimeter Scale

TL;DR: In this paper, the dependence of electric breakdown discharge properties on electrode geometry and breakdown field in liquid argon near its boiling point was studied and a detailed study of the breakdown volt-ampere characteristics was performed for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI

A steerable UV laser system for the calibration of liquid argon time projection chambers

TL;DR: In this article, a steerable UV mirror immersed in liquid argon is used to point the laser beam at many locations through the TPC, by using these laser tracks along the whole TPC volume one can obtain a 3D drift field map.
