The v̄e-e- elastic scattering cross-section was measured with a CsI(Tl) scintillating crystal detector array with a total mass of 187 kg at the Kuo-Sheng Nuclear Power Station. The detectors were exposed to a reactor v̄e flux of 6.4 × 1012 cm-2s-1 originated from a core with 2.9 GW thermal power. The physics motivations, conceptual design, detector hardware, data analysis and background understanding of the experiment are presented. Using 29882/7369 kg-days of Reactor ON/OFF data, the Standard Model (SM) of electroweak interaction was probed at the 4-momentum transfer range of ∼ 3 × 10-6 GeV2. A crosssection ratio of Rexpt = [1.08±0.21 (stat) ±0.16 (sys)] × RSM was measured. Constraints on the electroweak parameters (gV,gA) were placed, corresponding to a weak mixing angle measurement of sin2θW = 0.251 ±0.031 (stat) ±0.024 (sys). The destructive interference in the SM V̄e-e processes was verified with the value of RINTezpt =-0.92 ±0.30 (stat) ±0.24 (sys). Bounds on neutrino anomalous electromagnetic properties were placed: neutrino magnetic moment at μv̄e < 2.2 × 10-1μb at 90% confidence level, and the neutrino charge radius at (r2v̄e) = [0.61 ± 1.30 (stat) ± 1.01 (sys)] × 10-32 cm2. Since Neutrino-electron scattering are purely leptonic processes with robust Standard Model (SM) predictions, their measurements can provide constraints to physics beyond SM. The ve - e- data taken at the Kuo-Sheng Reactor Neutrino Laboratory were used to probe two scenarios: Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions (NSI) and Unparticle Physics. New constraints were placed to the NSI parameters (ϵeLee ϵeRee), (ϵeLeμ, ϵeReμ) and (ϵeLeτ, ϵeReτ) for the Non-Universal and Flavor-Changing channels, respectively, as well as to the coupling constants for scalar (λ0) and vector (λ1) unparticles to the neutrinos and electrons.

An investigation of x-ray escape for an HPGe detector
Can, Cüneyt; Bilgici, SZ (Wiley, 2003-07-01)
X-ray escape peaks for a planar HPGe detector were investigated for a point source of photons with 59.5 keV energy. The effect of the solid angle for the incident photons on the escape probability of Ge K x-rays was studied using collimators with varying apertures. A Monte Carlo program was also developed to estimate the probability of escape for various mechanisms and routes. The experimental and simulation results showed that the escape probability is essentially constant for a wide range of collimator ra...
Measurement of sm electro-weak parameters in reactor antineutrino-electron scattering in texono experiment
Deniz, Muhammed; Serin, Meltem; Department of Physics (2007)
In this thesis a search for electron type neutrino-electron scattering cross-section and Weinberg Angle measurements were performed at KS Nuclear Power Station with 200 kg CsI(Tl) scintillating crystal detector located at a distance of 28 m from the 2.9 GW reactor core giving total flux of 6:52X10^12 cm^-2s^-1 in average at the experimental site. New analysis techniques and background suppression methods were developed. In the region of 3-8 MeV a measurement of SM cross section of (1:235+-0.577) XR_SM and W...
Study of neutrino interactions in the chorus experiment
Çuha, Volkan; Güler, Ali Murat; Department of Physics (2006)
The emulsion target of the CHORUS detector was exposed to the wide-band neutrino beam of the CERN SPS between the years 1994 and 1997. In total about 130.000 neutrino interactions were located in the nuclear emulsion target and fully reconstructed. Detailed DATA and Monte Carlo (MC) comparisons were done in order to test reliability of the detector simulation. There is reasonable agreement between DATA and MC. The ratio of deep inelastic neutral-current (NC) to the deep inelastic (DIS) charged-current(CC) $...
Escape of photoelectrons and Compton-scattered photons from an HPGe detector
Can, Cüneyt (Wiley, 2003-07-01)
The response function of a planar HPGe detector due to escape of photoelectrons and Compton-scattered photons was studied for a point source with 59.5 keV energy. It was shown that both mechanisms, in addition to Ge x-ray escape, leading to partial deposition of energy, could be observed in the same experiment. A Monte Carlo program was used to investigate these components of the response function. The results indicate that although the escape of scattered photons and Ge x-rays are of the same magnitude, th...
Measurement of the inelastic cross section in proton-lead collisions at root s(NN)=5.02 TeV
Khachatryan, V.; et. al. (Elsevier BV, 2016-08-01)
The inelastic hadronic cross section in proton-lead collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV is measured with the CMS detector at the LHC. The data sample, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of L = 12.6 +/- 0.4 nb(-1), has been collected with an unbiased trigger for inclusive particle production. The cross section is obtained from the measured number of proton-lead collisions with hadronic activity produced in the pseudorapidity ranges 3 < eta < 5 and/or -5 < eta < -3, corre...
