A Study Of Anti-Muon-Neutrino Induced Resonance Production In Nomad Three-Track Topology, Edward Dunton

Senior Theses

In this study we are attempting to measure the sensitivity of our methods to anti-muon neutrino induced resonance interactions in the 3-track topology of the NOMAD experiment. We will use a set of Monte Carlo data meant to resemble the NOMAD outputs but with true event type known and then proceed by using a system of single-variable cuts and multivariable analysis through a multilayer perception neural network to distinguish events from these interactions and events from other neutrino or non-neutrino interactions. We will then produce a measurement of the sensitivity to these interactions and determine whether or not proceeding with …
