Sudden stratospheric warmings seen in MINOS deep underground muon data (2009)

Osprey, S., Barnett, J., Smith, J., Adamson, P., Andreopoulos, C., Arms, K. E., ...

The rate of high energy cosmic ray muons as measured underground is shown to be strongly correlated with upper-air temperatures during short-term atmospheric (10-day) events. The effects are seen by...

Search for Active Neutrino Disappearance Using Neutral-Current Interactions in the MINOS Long-Baseline Experiment (2008)

Adamson, P., Andreopoulos, C., Arms, K. E., Armstrong, R., Auty, D. J., Ayres, D. S., ...

We report the first detailed comparisons of the rates and spectra of neutral-current neutrino interactions at two widely separated locations. A depletion in the rate at the far site would indicate...

Measurement of neutrino oscillations with the MINOS detectors in the NuMI beam (2008)

Adamson, P., Andreopoulos, C., Arms, K. E., Armstrong, R., Auty, D. J., Ayres, D. S., ...

This Letter reports new results from the MINOS experiment based on a two-year exposure to muon neutrinos from the Fermilab NuMI beam. Our data are consistent with quantum-mechanical oscillations of...

Letter of Interest: Neutrino Oscillation Experiments (2007)

Beyond Minos And, Y-c. Chen, D. Ayres, E. Berger, T. Fields, M. Goodman, ...

uer, P. Nienaber, A. Para, S. Parke, R. Plunkett, X. Qi R. Raja, A. Romanino, A. Russell, P. Shanahan, P. Spentzouris, R. Stefanski M. H. Shaevitz, W. Smart, N. Tobien, A. Tollestrup, A. Van...

First Observations of Separated Atmospheric Muon Neutrino and Muon Anti-Neutrino Events in the MINOS Detector (2007)

Adamson, P., Alexopoulos, T., J. Alner, G., Anderson, K., Andreopoulos, C., ...

The complete 5.4 kton MINOS far detector has been taking data since the beginning of August 2003 at a depth of 2070 meters water-equivalent in the Soudan mine, Minnesota. This paper presents the...

Charge-Separated Atmospheric Neutrino-Induced Muons in the MINOS Far Detector (2007)

Adamson, P., Andreopoulos, C., E. Arms, K., Armstrong, R., J. Auty, D., Avvakumov, S., ...

We found 140 neutrino-induced muons in 854.24 live days in the MINOS far detector. We looked for evidence of neutrino disappearance in this data set by computing the ratio of the number of low...

Observation of muon neutrino disappearance with the MINOS detectors and the NuMI neutrino beam. (2007)

G. Michael, D., Adamson, P., Alexopoulos, T., J. Alner, G., Anderson, K., ...

This letter reports results from the MINOS experiment based on its initial exposure to neutrinos from the Fermilab NuMI beam. The rate and energy spectra of charged current muon neutrino interactions...

Beam-Based Alignment of the NuMI Target Station Components at FNAL (2006)

Zwaska, R., Bishai, M., Childress, S., Drake, G., Escobar, C., Gouffon, P., ...

The Neutrinos at the Main Injector (NuMI) facility is a conventional horn-focused neutrino beam which produces muon neutrinos from a beam of mesons directed into a long evacuated decay volume. The...

On unidirectional flight of a free flapping wing (2006)

Vandenberghe, N, Childress, S, Zhang, J

We study the dynamics of a rigid, symmetric wing that is flapped vertically in a fluid. The motion of the wing in the horizontal direction is not constrained. Above a critical flapping frequency,...

Beam Test of a Segmented Foil SEM Grid (2005)

Kopp, S., Indurthy, D., Pavlovich, Z., Proga, M., Zwaska, R., Childress, S., ...

A prototype Secondary-electron Emission Monitor (SEM) was installed in the 8 GeV proton transport line for the MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab. The SEM is a segmented grid made with 5 um Ti foils,...

Segmented Foil SEM Grids at Fermilab (2005)

Kopp, S., Indurthy, D., Pavlovich, Z., Proga, M., Zwaska, R., Baller, B., ...

We present recent beam data from a new design of a profile monitor for proton beams at Fermilab. The monitors, consisting of grids of segmented Ti foils 5micrometers thick, are secondary-electron...

Symmetry breaking leads to forward flapping flight (2004)

Vandenberghe, N, Zhang, Jie; U0044327, Childress, S

Flapping flight is ubiquitous in Nature, yet cilia and flagella, not wings, prevail in the world of micro-organisms. This paper addresses this dichotomy. We investigate experimentally the dynamics of...
