Searching High And Low For Exotic Particles At NUTEV

The E815 (NuTeV) neutrino experiment at Fermilab has conducted two direct searches for neutral heavy leptons by using a dedicated instrumented decay channel. The first search probed the existence of neutral heavy leptons possessing masses between 0.3 and 2.0 GeV which decay into a muonic final state. The second was a specific search for a $33.9 MeV /c^2$ neutral particle produced from pion decay. The latter directly addressed the timing anomaly reported by the KARMEN neutrino experiment. Results of both searches were presented at the Moriond Electroweak conference.

Abstract

The E815 (NuTeV) neutrino experiment at Fermilab has conducted two direct searches for neutral heavy leptons by using a dedicated instrumented decay channel. The first search probed the existence of neutral heavy leptons possessing masses between 0.3 and 2.0 GeV which decay into a muonic final state. The second was a specific search for a $33.9 MeV /c^2$ neutral particle produced from pion decay. The latter directly addressed the timing anomaly reported by the KARMEN neutrino experiment. Results of both searches were presented at the Moriond Electroweak conference.
