  Title First measurement of muon neutrino charged-current interactions on hydrocarbon without pions in the final state using multiple detectors with correlated energy spectra at T2K Type Journal Article

  Volume 108 Issue 11 Pages 112009 - 32pp

  Abstract This paper reports the first measurement of muon neutrino charged-current interactions without pions in the final state using multiple detectors with correlated energy spectra at T2K. The data was collected on hydrocarbon targets using the off-axis T2K near detector (ND280) and the on-axis T2K near detector (INGRID) with neutrino energy spectra peaked at 0.6 GeV and 1.1 GeV, respectively. The correlated neutrino flux presents an opportunity to reduce the impact of the flux uncertainty and to study the energy dependence of neutrino interactions. The extracted double-differential cross sections are compared to several Monte Carlo neutrino-nucleus interaction event generators showing the agreement between both detectors individually and with the correlated result.

  Title Probing light dark matter with positron beams at NA64 Type Journal Article
  Year 2024 Publication Physical Review D Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. D  
  Volume 109 Issue 3 Pages L031103 - 6pp  
  Keywords (up)  
  Abstract We present the results of a missing-energy search for light dark matter which has a new interaction with ordinary matter transmitted by a vector boson, called dark photon A'. For the first time, this search is performed with a positron beam by using the significantly enhanced production of A' in the resonant annihilation of positrons with atomic electrons of the target nuclei, followed by the invisible decay of A' into dark matter. No events were found in the signal region with (10.1 +/- 0.1) x 109 positrons on target with 100 GeV energy. This allowed us to set new exclusion limits that, relative to the collected statistics, prove the power of this experimental technique. This measurement is a crucial first step toward a future exploration program with positron beams, whose estimated sensitivity is here presented.

  Title First Results in the Search for Dark Sectors at NA64 with the CERN SPS High Energy Muon Beam Type Journal Article
  Year 2024 Publication Physical Review Letters Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. Lett.  
  Volume 132 Issue 21 Pages 211803 - 7pp  
  Keywords (up)  
  Abstract We report the first search for dark sectors performed at the NA64 experiment employing a high energy muon beam and a missing energy-momentum technique. Muons from the M2 beamline at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron with a momentum of 160 GeV/c are directed to an active target. The signal signature consists of a single scattered muon with momentum < 80 GeV/c in the final state, accompanied by missing energy, i.e., no detectable activity in the downstream calorimeters. For a total dataset of (1.98 +/- 0.02) x 10(10) muons on target, no event is observed in the expected signal region. This allows us to set new limits on the remaining (m(Z)'; g(Z)') parameter space of a new Z' (L-mu – L-tau) vector boson which could explain the muon (g – 2)(mu) anomaly. Additionally, our study excludes part of the parameter space suggested by the thermal dark matter relic abundance. Our results pave the way to explore dark sectors and light dark matter with muon beams in a unique and complementary way to other experiments.

  Title Probing hidden leptonic scalar portals using the NA64 experiment at CERN Type Journal Article
  Year 2024 Publication European Physical Journal C Abbreviated Journal Eur. Phys. J. C  
  Volume 84 Issue 10 Pages 1035 - 11pp  
  Keywords (up)  
  Abstract In this study, we demonstrate the potential of the NA64 experiment at CERN SPS to search for New Physics processes involving e→μ transitions after the collision of 100 GeV electrons with target nuclei. A new Dark Sector leptonic portal in which a scalar boson φ could be produced in the lepton-flavor-changing bremsstrahlung-like reaction, eN→μNφ, is used as benchmark process. In this work, we develop a realistic Monte Carlo simulation of the NA64 experimental setup implementing the differential and total production cross-section computed at exact tree-level and applying the Weiszäcker-Williams phase space approximation. Using this framework, we investigate the main background sources and calculate the expected sensitivity of the experiment. The results indicate that with minor setup optimization, NA64 can probe a large fraction of the available parameter space compatible with the muon g−2 anomaly and the Dark Matter relic predictions in the context of a new Dark Sector leptonic portal with 1011 EOT. This result paves the way to the exploration of lepton-flavour-changing transitions in NA64.

  Title Dark-Sector Search via Pion-Produced η and η' Mesons Decaying Invisibly in the NA64h Detector Type Journal Article
  Year 2024 Publication Physical Review Letters Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. Lett.  
  Volume 133 Issue 12 Pages 121803 - 6pp  
  Keywords (up)  
  Abstract We present the first results from a proof-of-concept search for dark sectors via invisible decays of pseudoscalar eta and eta ' mesons in the NA64h experiment at the CERN SPS. Our novel technique uses the charge-exchange reaction of 50 GeV pi- on nuclei of an active target as the source of neutral mesons. The eta,eta'-> invisible events would exhibit themselves via a striking signature-the complete disappearance of the incoming beam energy in the detector. No evidence for such events has been found with 2.9x109 pions on target accumulated during one day of data taking. This allows us to set a stringent limit on the branching ratio Br(eta'-> invisible) < 2.1 x 10(-4) improving the current bound by a factor of similar or equal to 3. We also set a limit on Br(eta -> invisible) < 1.1 x 10(-4) comparable with the existing one. These results demonstrate the great potential of our approach and provide clear guidance on how to enhance and extend the sensitivity for dark sector physics from future searches for invisible neutral meson decays.

  Title The DUNE far detector vertical drift technology Technical design report Type Journal Article
  Year 2024 Publication Journal of Instrumentation Abbreviated Journal J. Instrum.  
  Volume 19 Issue 8 Pages T08004 - 418pp  
  Keywords (up)  
  Abstract DUNE is an international experiment dedicated to addressing some of the questions at the forefront of particle physics and astrophysics, including the mystifying preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early universe. The dual-site experiment will employ an intense neutrino beam focused on a near and a far detector as it aims to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and to make high-precision measurements of the PMNS matrix parameters, including the CP-violating phase. It will also stand ready to observe supernova neutrino bursts, and seeks to observe nucleon decay as a signature of a grand unified theory underlying the standard model.

The DUNE far detector implements liquid argon time-projection chamber (LArTPC) technology, and combines the many tens-of-kiloton fiducial mass necessary for rare event searches with the sub-centimeter spatial resolution required to image those events with high precision. The addition of a photon detection system enhances physics capabilities for all DUNE physics drivers and opens prospects for further physics explorations. Given its size, the far detector will be implemented as a set of modules, with LArTPC designs that differ from one another as newer technologies arise.

In the vertical drift LArTPC design, a horizontal cathode bisects the detector, creating two stacked drift volumes in which ionization charges drift towards anodes at either the top or bottom. The anodes are composed of perforated PCB layers with conductive strips, enabling reconstruction in 3D. Light-trap-style photon detection modules are placed both on the cryostat's side walls and on the central cathode where they are optically powered.

This Technical Design Report describes in detail the technical implementations of each subsystem of this LArTPC that, together with the other far detector modules and the near detector, will enable DUNE to achieve its physics goals.

  Abstract ProtoDUNE Single-Phase (ProtoDUNE-SP) is a 770-ton liquid argon time projection chamber that operated in a hadron test beam at the CERN Neutrino Platform in 2018. We present a measurement of the total inelastic cross section of charged kaons on argon as a function of kaon energy using 6 and 7 GeV/c beam momentum settings. The flux-weighted average of the extracted inelastic cross section at each beam momentum setting was measured to be 380 +/- 26 mbarns for the 6 GeV/c setting and 379 +/- 35 mbarns for the 7 GeV/c setting.

  Title Shedding light on dark sectors with high-energy muons at the NA64 experiment at the CERN SPS Type Journal Article

  Volume 110 Issue 11 Pages 112015 - 23pp  
  Keywords (up)  
  Abstract A search for dark sectors is performed using the unique M2 beam line at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron. New particles (X) could be produced in the bremsstrahlung-like reaction of high-energy 160 GeV positively charged muons impinging on an active target, μN -> μNX, followed by their decays, X -> invisible. The experimental signature would be a scattered single muon from the target, with about less than half of its initial energy and no activity in the subdetectors located downstream from the interaction point. The full sample of the 2022 run is analyzed through the missing-energy/momentum channel, with total statistics of (1.98 +/- 0.02) x 10(10) muons on target. We demonstrate that various muonphilic scenarios involving different types of mediators, such as scalar or vector particles, can be probed simultaneously with such a technique. For the vector case, besides a L-mu – L-tau Z' vector boson, we also consider an invisibly decaying dark photon (A' -> invisible). This search is complementary to NA64 running with electrons and positrons, thus opening the possibility to expand the exploration of the thermal light dark matter parameter space by combining the results obtained with the three beams.

  Abstract The Super-Kamiokande and T2K Collaborations present a joint measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters from their atmospheric and beam neutrino data. It uses a common interaction model for events overlapping in neutrino energy and correlated detector systematic uncertainties between the two datasets, which are found to be compatible. Using 3244.4 days of atmospheric data and a beam exposure of 19.7(16.3) x 10(20) protons on target in (anti)neutrino mode, the analysis finds a 1.9 sigma exclusion of CP conservation (defined as J(CP) = 0) and a 1.2 sigma exclusion of the inverted mass ordering.

  Abstract The Module-0 Demonstrator is a single-phase 600 kg liquid argon time projection chamber operated as a prototype for the DUNE liquid argon near detector. Based on the ArgonCube design concept, Module-0 features a novel 80k-channel pixelated charge readout and advanced high-coverage photon detection system. In this paper, we present an analysis of an eight-day data set consisting of 25 million cosmic ray events collected in the spring of 2021. We use this sample to demonstrate the imaging performance of the charge and light readout systems as well as the signal correlations between the two. We also report argon purity and detector uniformity measurements and provide comparisons to detector simulations.
