Masters Theses
Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) are driven by neutrino emission and are the most prodigious sources of neutrinos in the Universe. Importantly, the neutrino radiation from CCSNe is emitted from deep in the explosion and can provide information about physical processes taking place in the newly-born neutron star at the heart of the event. We examine the four-flavor (i.e. νe, νe, νx and νx) [electron, muon and tau neutrinos along with their anti-matter counterparts] signature of CCSNe neutrino emission in various neutrino detector types. We use data from the multidimensional Chimera (Lentz et al., 2015) …

The NOvA (NuMI Off-axis νe [nu_e] Appearance) Experiment is a long-baseline accelerator neutrino experiment currently in its second year of operations. NOvA uses the Neutrinos from the Main Injector (NuMI) beam at Fermilab, and there are two main off-axis detectors: a Near Detector at Fermilab and a Far Detector 810 km away at Ash River, MN. The work reported herein is in support of the NOvA Experiment, through contributions to the development of data acquisition software, providing an accurate, absolute-scale energy calibration for electromagnetic showers in NOvA detector elements, crucial to the primary electron neutrino search, and through an …
