Abstract
Abstract: The NOMAD experiment is a short base-line search for νμ − ντ oscillations in the CERN neutrino beam. The ντ's are searched for through their charged current interactions followed by the observation of the resulting τ− through its electronic, muonic or hadronic decays. These decays are recognized using kinematical criteria necessitating the use of a light target which enables the reconstruction of individual particles produced in the neutrino interactions. This paper describes the various components of the NOMAD detector: the target and muon drift chambers, the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters, the preshower and transition radiation detectors and the veto and trigger scintillation counters. The beam and data acquisition system are also described. The quality of the reconstruction and individual particles is demonstrated through the ability of NOMAD to observe Ks0's, Λ0's and π0's. Finally, the observation of τ− through its electronic decay being one of the most promising channels in the search, the identification of electrons in NOMAD is discussed.

neutrino beam. The ντ's are searched for through their charged current interactions followed by the observation of the resulting τ− through its electronic, muonic or hadronic decays. These decays are recognized using kinematical criteria necessitating the use of a light target which enables the reconstruction of individual particles produced in the neutrino interactions. This paper describes the various components of the NOMAD detector: the target and muon drift chambers, the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters, the preshower and transition radiation detectors and the veto and trigger scintillation counters. The beam and data acquisition system are also described. The quality of the reconstruction and individual particles is demonstrated through the ability of NOMAD to observe Ks0's, Λ0's and π0's. Finally, the observation of τ− through its electronic decay being one of the most promising channels in the search, the identification of electrons in NOMAD is discussed.</div></front></TEI><istex><corpusName>elsevier</corpusName><keywords><teeft><json:string>nomad</json:string><json:string>muon</json:string><json:string>neutrino</json:string><json:string>module</json:string><json:string>ecal</json:string><json:string>instr</json:string><json:string>meth</json:string><json:string>pion</json:string><json:string>hadron</json:string><json:string>electromagnetic</json:string><json:string>drift

The ντ's are searched for through their charged current interactions followed by the observation of the resulting τ− through its electronic, muonic or hadronic decays. These decays are recognized using kinematical criteria necessitating the use of a light target which enables the reconstruction of individual particles produced in the neutrino interactions. This paper describes the various components of the NOMAD detector: the target and muon drift chambers, the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters, the preshower and transition radiation detectors and the veto and trigger scintillation counters. The beam and data acquisition system are also described. The quality of the reconstruction and individual particles is demonstrated through the ability of NOMAD to observe Ks0's, Λ0's and π0's. Finally, the observation of τ− through its electronic decay being one of the most promising channels in the search, the identification of electrons in NOMAD is discussed.</abstract><qualityIndicators><refBibsNative>true</refBibsNative><abstractWordCount>161</abstractWordCount><abstractCharCount>1082</abstractCharCount><keywordCount>1</keywordCount><score>8.932</score><pdfWordCount>10536</pdfWordCount><pdfCharCount>67448</pdfCharCount><pdfVersion>1.2</pdfVersion><pdfPageCount>33</pdfPageCount><pdfPageSize>545 x 749 pts</pdfPageSize></qualityIndicators><title>The NOMAD experiment at the CERN SPS</title><pii><json:string>S0168-9002(97)01079-6</json:string></pii><corporate><json:item><name>NOMAD Collaboration</name></json:item></corporate><genre><json:string>research-article</json:string></genre><host><title>Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A</title><language><json:string>unknown</json:string></language><publicationDate>1998</publicationDate><issn><json:string>0168-9002</json:string></issn><pii><json:string>S0168-9002(00)X0101-5</json:string></pii><volume>404</volume><issue>1</issue><pages><first>96</first><last>128</last></pages><genre><json:string>journal</json:string></genre></host><namedEntities><unitex><date><json:string>1992</json:string><json:string>1997</json:string><json:string>6174</json:string><json:string>1993</json:string><json:string>1998</json:string><json:string>1584</json:string><json:string>1995</json:string><json:string>1996</json:string></date><geogName></geogName><orgName><json:string>National Science Foundation</json:string><json:string>NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTS</json:string><json:string>Department of Energy</json:string><json:string>PHVSICS RESEARCH ELSEVIER Nuclear Instruments and Methods</json:string><json:string>French Minis</json:string><json:string>Institut National</json:string><json:string>Department of Industry, Science and Technology</json:string><json:string>Russian Foundation for Fundamental Research under grant 96-02-18562</json:string><json:string>ARC</json:string><json:string>Australian Research Council</json:string><json:string>“Fends National Suisse</json:string><json:string>Istituto Nazionale</json:string><json:string>BMBF</json:string><json:string>Institute for Nuclear Research of Russian Academy of Sciences</json:string></orgName><orgName_funder><json:string>French Minis</json:string><json:string>Institut National</json:string><json:string>Department of Industry, Science and Technology</json:string><json:string>Russian Foundation for Fundamental Research under grant 96-02-18562</json:string><json:string>ARC</json:string><json:string>Australian Research Council</json:string><json:string>“Fends National Suisse</json:string><json:string>Istituto Nazionale</json:string><json:string>BMBF</json:string><json:string>Institute for Nuclear Research of Russian Academy of Sciences</json:string></orgName_funder><orgName_provider></orgName_provider><persName><json:string>G.F.

The ντ's are searched for through their charged current interactions followed by the observation of the resulting τ− through its electronic, muonic or hadronic decays. These decays are recognized using kinematical criteria necessitating the use of a light target which enables the reconstruction of individual particles produced in the neutrino interactions. This paper describes the various components of the NOMAD detector: the target and muon drift chambers, the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters, the preshower and transition radiation detectors and the veto and trigger scintillation counters. The beam and data acquisition system are also described. The quality of the reconstruction and individual particles is demonstrated through the ability of NOMAD to observe Ks0's, Λ0's and π0's. Finally, the observation of τ− through its electronic decay being one of the most promising channels in the search, the identification of electrons in NOMAD is discussed.</p></abstract><textClass><keywords scheme="keyword"><list><head>article-category</head><item><term>High energy physics

The <ce:italic>ν</ce:italic><ce:inf><ce:italic>τ</ce:italic></ce:inf>'s are searched for through their charged current interactions followed by the observation of the resulting <ce:italic>τ</ce:italic><ce:sup>−</ce:sup> through its electronic, muonic or hadronic decays. These decays are recognized using kinematical criteria necessitating the use of a light target which enables the reconstruction of individual particles produced in the neutrino interactions. This paper describes the various components of the NOMAD detector: the target and muon drift chambers, the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters, the preshower and transition radiation detectors and the veto and trigger scintillation counters. The beam and data acquisition system are also described. The quality of the reconstruction and individual particles is demonstrated through the ability of NOMAD to observe K<ce:inf>s</ce:inf><ce:sup>0</ce:sup>'s, <ce:italic>Λ</ce:italic><ce:sup>0</ce:sup>'s and <ce:italic>π</ce:italic><ce:sup>0</ce:sup>'s. Finally, the observation of <ce:italic>τ</ce:italic><ce:sup>−</ce:sup> through its electronic decay being one of the most promising channels in the search, the identification of electrons in NOMAD is discussed.</ce:simple-para></ce:abstract-sec></ce:abstract></head></converted-article></istex:document></istex:metadataXml><mods version="3.6"><titleInfo><title>The NOMAD experiment at the CERN

The ντ's are searched for through their charged current interactions followed by the observation of the resulting τ− through its electronic, muonic or hadronic decays. These decays are recognized using kinematical criteria necessitating the use of a light target which enables the reconstruction of individual particles produced in the neutrino interactions. This paper describes the various components of the NOMAD detector: the target and muon drift chambers, the electromagnetic and hadronic calorimeters, the preshower and transition radiation detectors and the veto and trigger scintillation counters. The beam and data acquisition system are also described. The quality of the reconstruction and individual particles is demonstrated through the ability of NOMAD to observe Ks0's, Λ0's and π0's. Finally, the observation of τ− through its electronic decay being one of the most promising channels in the search, the identification of electrons in NOMAD is discussed.</abstract><subject><genre>article-category</genre><topic>High energy physics systems</topic></subject><relatedItem type="host"><titleInfo><title>Nuclear Inst. and Methods in Physics Research, A</title></titleInfo><titleInfo type="abbreviated"><title>NIMA</title></titleInfo><genre type="journal" authority="ISTEX" authorityURI="https://publication-type.data.istex.fr" valueURI="https://publication-type.data.istex.fr/ark:/67375/JMC-0GLKJH51-B">journal</genre><originInfo><publisher>ELSEVIER</publisher><dateIssued encoding="w3cdtf">19980211</dateIssued></originInfo><identifier type="ISSN">0168-9002</identifier><identifier type="PII">S0168-9002(00)X0101-5</identifier><part><date>19980211</date><detail type="volume"><number>404</number><caption>vol.</caption></detail><detail type="issue"><number>1</number><caption>no.</caption></detail><extent unit="issue-pages"><start>1</start><end>184</end></extent><extent unit="pages"><start>96</start><end>128</end></extent></part></relatedItem><identifier type="istex">C8EF36180C5AE36589D485141C5A36113288AB0F</identifier><identifier type="ark">ark:/67375/6H6-8HVS8CZ2-Q</identifier><identifier type="DOI">10.1016/S0168-9002(97)01079-6</identifier><identifier type="PII">S0168-9002(97)01079-6</identifier><recordInfo><recordContentSource authority="ISTEX" authorityURI="https://loaded-corpus.data.istex.fr" valueURI="https://loaded-corpus.data.istex.fr/ark:/67375/XBH-HKKZVM7B-M">elsevier</recordContentSource></recordInfo></mods><json:item><extension>json</extension><original>false</original><mimetype>application/json</mimetype><uri>https://api.istex.fr/document/C8EF36180C5AE36589D485141C5A36113288AB0F/metadata/json</uri></json:item></metadata><serie></serie></istex></record>Pour manipuler ce document sous Unix (Dilib)
