in order to better understand the emc effect, we propose a clean and precise measurement of the flavor dependence of the emc effect using parity-violating deep inelastic scattering on a 48ca target. this measurement will provide an extremely sensitive test for flavor dependence in the modification of nuclear parton dis...
pvemc: isolating the flavor-dependent emc effect using parity-violating inelastic scattering in solid
the japan proton accelerator research complex (j-parc) is a hadron-accelerator facility that aims to provide secondary beams of kaons, pions, neutrinos, muons, and others together with the primary proton beam for investigating a wide range of science projects. high-energy hadron physics can be studied by using high-mom...
j-parc hadron physics and future possibilities on color transparency
a sample of two-proton and no-pion events selected in the argoneut neutrino scattering experiment on a liquid argon target [phys. rev. d 90, 012008 (2014), 10.1103/physrevd.90.012008] is analyzed with the nuwro monte carlo event generator. an attempt is made to estimate how likely it is to obtain observed numbers of la...
search for nucleon-nucleon correlations in neutrino-argon scattering
observations of suspected coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scatterings by dark matter direct detection experiments highlight the need for an investigation into the so-called "neutrino floor." we focus on the discovery limit, a statistical concept to identify the neutrino floor, and analyze the asymptotic behavior of t...
asymptotic analysis of binned likelihoods and the neutrino floor
we consider the resonant production and detection of charged mesons in existing and near-future neutrino scattering experiments with eν≲1 tev , characteristic of high-energy atmospheric neutrinos or collider-sourced neutrino beams. the most promising candidate is the reaction ν¯ee-→ρ-→π-π0. we discuss detection prospec...
