    Full text link
    Abstract: We report here a measurement of form factors of K±μ3 decay by the NA48/2 experiment at CERN. Using a sample of 3.4×106 events we provide preliminary form factor values according to various parametrizations. The slope of the scalar form factor is in agreement with other measurements and theory predictions

    Preliminary results on KL->pi e nu(gamma) decays collected by the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS are reported. Using a sample of 6.8 X 10^6 reconstructed events BR(Ke3) = 0.4010+-0.0028+-0.0035 was obtained. From the branching ratio the value of |Vus|= 0.2187+-0.0028 was extracted. The same data sample has provided also a high precision measurement of the slope lambda+ of the form factor of the Ke3 decay. Investigating the Ke3gamma decay, from a sample of 18977 reconstructed events, BR(Ke3gamma)/BR(Ke3) = (0.964+-0.008+0.012-0.011)% was determined.Preliminary results on KL->pi e nu(gamma) decays collected by the NA48 detector at the CERN SPS are reported.

    NA48 results on kaon and hyperon decays relevant to |VusV_{us}|

    Full text link
    New results from the NA48 experiment on kaon and hyperon decays relevant to Vus|V_us| are reported here. For charged kaons we present measurements of BR(K±π0e±ν)BR(K^{\pm} \rightarrow \pi^{0} e^{\pm}\nu) and BR(K±π0μ±ν)BR(K^{\pm} \rightarrow \pi^{0}\mu^{\pm}\nu). On neutral kaon decays we report the measurements of BR(KLπ+π)BR(K_{L} \rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{-}) and of KLπ±μνK_{L} \rightarrow \pi^{\pm}\mu^{\mp}\nu form factors slopes. For hyperons we present results on the BR(Ξ0Σ+eνˉe)BR(\Xi^{0} \rightarrow \Sigma^{+} e^{-}\bar{\nu}_e).New results from the NA48 experiment on kaon and hyperon decays relevant to |V_us| are reported here.

    A study of nuclear effects in ν\nu interactions with the NOMAD detector

    No full text
    Nuclear effects in \numucc interactions with carbon nuclei have been studied by using backward going protons and π\pi^-. Detailed analyses of the momentum distributions and of the production rates, have been carried out in order to understand the mechanism producing these particles. The backward proton data have been compared with the predictions of the reinteraction and the short range correlation models.Nuclear effects in \numucc interactions with carbon nuclei have been studied by using backward going protons and π\pi^-.

    GEANT4 simulation of a 3D Compton imaging device

    No full text
    A 3D brain imaging device based on Compton scattering is investigated with a GEANT4 Monte-Carlo simulation. The proposed device relies on a novel 3D imaging technique which, contrary to other approaches like Compton cameras, does not require any backprojection procedure. We study the attainable sensitivity in the detection of density variations as a function of the beam energy, the depth inside the object and size and density of the inclusions. At midbrain position a resolution of about 2 mm and a contrast of 12% are obtained. In addition the simulation indicates that a complete brain scan at 600 keV beam energy would result in an effective dose of about 1 mSv

    PEPSI: A Monte Carlo generator for polarized leptoproduction

    No full text
    We describe PEPSI (Polarized Electron Proton Scattering Interactions), a Monte Carlo program for polarized deep inelastic leptoproduction mediated by electromagnetic interaction, and explain how to use it. The code is a modification of the LEPTO 4.3 Lund Monte Carlo for unpolarized scattering. The hard virtual gamma-parton scattering is generated according to the polarization-dependent QCD cross-section of the first order in αS. PEPSI requires the standard polarization-independent JETSET routines to simulate the fragmentation into final hadrons
