Because of the ambiguity between $delta_{CP}$ and neutrino mass hierarchy, experiments have to be designed in such a way as to measure these parameters independent of each other. Long baseline experiments like DUNE is exclusively designed to measure $delta_{CP}$ in regions without hierarchy ambiguity and atmospheric neutrino experiments like INO are designed to measure hierarchy without $delta_{CP}$ ambiguity. However atmospheric neutrinos are not usually used to probe $delta_{CP}$. Here we present that, sub--GeV energy atmospheric neutrinos can be used to probe $delta_{CP}$ irrespective of mass hierarchy. We show that when the events are binned as a function of $(E^{rm{obs}}_l,costheta^{rm{obs}}_l)$, the observed energy and direction of the final state leptons in charged current interactions of $nu$ and $overline{nu}$, a consistent distinction between various $delta_{CP}$ values is obtained. Since there is no sensitivity to the mass ordering/hierarchy, $delta_{CP}$ can be measured without hierarchy ambiguity at these energies. Sensitivity studies with ideal as well as realistic cases are discussed.","PeriodicalId":322602,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 21st international workshop on neutrinos from accelerators — PoS(NuFact2019)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129145909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sterile neutrino, as a hypothetical particle, is coined to resolve the anomalies. Although the obscurity of nuclear reactions in reactors should be explained, the sterile neutrino, as a possible solution, has attracted intensive discussions. Especially the role of sterile neutrinos has been importantly discussed in the astrophysics as well as the neutrino physics. In this proceeding, we review how the sterile neutrino affects two astrophysical environments; one is big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) and the other is supernova (SN) neutrino process.","PeriodicalId":322602,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 21st international workshop on neutrinos from accelerators — PoS(NuFact2019)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129297859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This goal was successfully reached by observing a high purity sample of ν τ charged current (CC) interaction candidate events. Additionally, it was possible to isolate samples of ν e and ν µ CC candidates, as well as neutral current candidate events. These four samples were used to put additional constraints on parameters of both the standard neutrino mixing model and the 3 + 1 sterile model. This poster will review the methodology of measuring neutrino in-teractions using the OPERA apparatus and give an overview of all results on neutrino oscillations produced by the experiment. In particular, a joint analysis of ν τ and ν e samples will be shown which excludes a significant fraction of the sterile neutrino phase space allowed by MiniBooNE appearance analysis.","PeriodicalId":322602,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 21st international workshop on neutrinos from accelerators — PoS(NuFact2019)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127920628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The predictions are made using a model of the experiment, constructed from a set of models and simulations tuned to data to predict the neutrino flux reaching the detectors, and describe neutrino interactions as well as the detectors response. Using data corresponding to an exposure of 1.49$times 10^{21}$ proton on targets (POT) in neutrino mode, and 1.63 $times 10^{21}$ POT in anti-neutrino mode, T2K excluded conservation of CP symmetry in neutrino oscillation at the 2$sigma$ level. An excess of observed events compared to the predictions in one of the samples has a strong contribution to this result, and it was found that the p-value to observe such an excess in 1 of the 5 analysis samples was between 5.8% and 11.3% depending on the values of the oscillation parameters assumed.","PeriodicalId":322602,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 21st international workshop on neutrinos from accelerators — PoS(NuFact2019)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126805465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Especially in studying magnetic systems; higher momentum muons can be employed in non-invasive analysis of materials, such as bulk-sensitive elemental analysis with negative muons, or muon radiography techniques. EMuS uses up to 25 kW proton beam hitting on a graphite target to produce the muon beam with a conventional magnet side collection target station and an advanced forward superconducting solenoid capture target station, so called as “Baby scheme\" and “Baseline scheme\" respectively. Extremely high radiation produced from the target has to be shielded in order to safeguard the magnet system and the surrounding environment for proper functioning and operation. Therefore, a proper shielding of magnet and environment becomes a key factor of its successful design.
