We present a method to perform a least-squares fit of a decay chain involving multiple decay
vertices. Our technique allows for the simultaneous extraction of decay time, position and …

Neutrino-electron elastic scattering is used as a reference process to constrain the neutrino
flux at the Main Injector (NuMI) beam observed by the MINERvA experiment. Prediction of …

The inclusive energy distributions of fragments with Z≥ 3 emitted from the bombardment of
C 12 by Ne 20 beams with incident energies between 145 and 200 MeV have been …

In this paper, the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is applied to a particle tracking problem in
the high energy physics (HEP) experiments, where the determination of position and …

Abstract The Fokker–Planck equation is a key ingredient of many models in physics, and
related subjects, and arises in a diverse array of settings. Analytical solutions are limited to …

The NOMAD-STAR detector is a silicon vertex detector installed in the NOMAD spectrometer
at the CERN SPS neutrino beam. It consists of four layers of a passive boron carbide target …

A target consisting of four passive layers of boron carbide and five layers of silicon microstrip
detectors (NOMAD-STAR) with a total surface of 1.14 m 2 was installed inside the NOMAD …

A near detector at a neutrino factory is essential for the measurement of neutrino oscillations,
by performing the ratio of neutrino interactions between the near and far detectors. The near …

Abstract The International Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE) is currently being
commissioned at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) and aims to be the first …

The extended Kalman lter (EKF) has a long history in the field of non-linear tracking. More
recently, statistically-based estimators have emerged that avoid the need for a deterministic …
