Three-dimensional visualisation of tracks in OPERA nuclear emulsion films
The possibility of a three-dimensional visualisation/reconstruction of tracks in nuclear emulsion films using X-ray imaging is described in this paper. The feasibility of the technique is established with experimental results.
The Chorus Collaboration
The CHORUS experiment is searching for ν µ → ν τ oscillations using an 800 kg emulsion target and an electronic detector. Two of four years of running have been completed. The experiment will probe small mixing angles for ∆m 2 > 10 eV 2 , at least one order of magnitude better than previous limits.
FLUKA applications in high energy problems : from LHC to ICARUS and atmospheric showers
A few selected applications of FLUKA are illustrated. The ATLAS Combined calorimeter test beam is an example of calorimetric calculations, where all the physical models in the code are exploited in a fully analogue mode. The ATLAS radiation levels calculations are an impressive example of the use of biasing techniques together with the accuracy of neutron transport algorithms. The very high energy domain is well represented by state-of-the art calculations of cosmic ray showers, whose ultimate goal is a detailed estimate of the atmospheric neutrino fluxes on earth. In neutrino physics, radionuclides are of serious concern, thus residual nuclei distributions due to muon photonuclear interactions in the Gran Sasso underground laboratory have been calculated.
