Hamiltonian Dyson‐Schwinger and FRG Flow Equations of Yang‐Mills Theory in Coulomb Gauge
A new functional renormalization group equation for Hamiltonian Yang‐Mills theory in Coulomb gauge is presented and solved for the static gluon and ghost propagators under the assumption of ghost dominance. The results are compared to those obtained in the variational approach.

Functional perturbative approach to equal-time correlation functions
Equal-time correlation functions play a central role in the recent noncovariant approaches to infrared QCD in the Coulomb gauge. In this article, we explore the possibilities to derive equal-time correlation functions from a generating functional, represent them diagrammatically, and formulate nonperturbative relations similar to Dyson–Schwinger equations among them, in analogy to the covariant n-point functions. For simplicity, we set up the formalism for λϕ4 theory and derive explicit expressions for the equal-time 2- and 4-point functions.

New results from the MINOS experiment
MINOS is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. Protons from the Fermilab main injector are used to generate an intense muon neutrino beam, which is directed at the Soudan underground laboratory in Northern Minnesota. The result from two years of running with a total exposure of 2.5 × 1020 protons on target from the NuMI beam is reported. We made a preliminary measurement by comparing the event rate and energy spectra of charge current muon neutrino interactions in the two detectors, which are 1 and 735 km from the neutrino production target. The data is consistent with vμ to v oscillation in the so-called atmospheric parameter range with δm2 = (2.38+0.20-0.16) × 10-3 eV2 and sin22Θ = 1-0.08.

Status of the LBL oscillation experiments MINOS and OPERA
MINOS and OPERA will be the next generation long baseline neutrino experiments to measure neutrino oscillations as suggested by the Super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino results in a well controlled environment. Neutrinos produced by the Fermilab main injector will be measured by the two MINOS detectors. A near detector will be located at the Fermilab site to measure the neutrino beam composition at production, a far detector will measure it after oscillation may have modified the beam composition. OPERA will be located in the Grand Sasso underground laboratory and search for the appearance of tau neutrinos in a muon neutrino beam produced at the CERN SPS. By chance, the baseline is 735 km for both experiments.

T2K: A LONG-BASELINE EXPERIMENT TO STUDY NEUTRINOS
T2K is the first of a new generation of long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments that will measure neutrino oscillations parameters. The experiment uses the J-PARC accelerator complex on the east cost of Japan to sent a neutrino beam to the Kamioka mine, located 295 km to the west. It consists of a dedicated beam-line, a near detector complex to characterize the beam and the well-known Super-Kamiokande detector to measure the oscillation signal. This paper describes the experimental setup, the results of the first measurement campaign as well as giving an outlook on the future potential of the experiment.

MINOS the main injector neutrino oscillation search
Abstract MINOS is a neutrino experiment which uses a beam of neutrinos from the Fermilab main injector to determine the parameters of possible neutrino oscillations. It consists of two detectors: a near detector to measure the beam composition at the production site and a far detector 730 km away to re-measure the composition and detect any oscillation which may have occurred. MINOS is a tracking calorimeter build from solid plastic scintillators to measure all the neutrino interactions.

The NuMI off-axis long baseline experiment
Several different experiments have now established that neutrinos do oscillate or may have presented experimental evidence that can be explained by neutrino oscillations [1,2,3,4,5]. The purpose of future experiments is now to measure with high precision the parameters of the neutrino mixing or so-called MNS matrix. One of those experiments is planned at the powerful NuMI neutrino beam line. The experiment is especially designed to obtain a high sensitivity for electron neutrino appearance in a muon neutrino beam. This measurement is related to the mixing angle Θ13, which is so far undetermined from previous measurements. This article will report on possible technology choices and the physics reach of the experiment.
