Neutrino induced charm production, detected via charm's semi-muonic decay,
offers the most precise quantification of the strange-sea and the mass-parameter of the charm quark, mc.. We have extracted 15k charm dimuon events in neutrino-Fe interactions in the NOMAD front calorimeter corresponding to a sample of 9M single muon events. The analysis leads to a measurement of the dimuon to...

Liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPC's) provide an extraordinary level of information about the interactions of neutrinos. Amongst the several different efforts ongoing at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory to develop the liquid argon detector technology and utilize it to study neutrino interactions are the MicroBooNE and ArgoNeuT experiments. The MicroBooNE experiment is a 170...

The MicroBooNE neutrino experiment at Fermilab is constructing a liquid-argon time-projection chamber for the Booster Neutrino Beam to study neutrino oscillations and interactions with nucleons and nuclei, starting in 2014. We describe the experiment and focus on its unique abilities to measure cross sections at low values of Q2. In particular, the neutral-current elastic scattering cross...

The Cryogenic Apparatus for Precision Tests of Argon Interactions with Neutrino (CAPTAIN) program is designed to make measurements of scientific importance to long-baseline neutrino physics and physics topics that will be explored by large underground detectors. CAPTAIN began as part of a Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project and has...

When a neutrino undergoes a quasi-elastic charged current interaction,
it will produce a neutron or a proton, depending on whether or not the
neutrino was an antiparticle. These neutrons can be identified by the
distinctive 2.2MeV γ-ray signal produced after neutron capture on
hydrogen. I will discuss new techniques to detect these 2.2MeV γ-rays
in Super Kamiokande, and application of...
