The combined cross section for absorption and charge exchange interactions of positively charged pions with carbon nuclei for the momentum range 200 MeV/c to 300 MeV/c have been measured with the DUET experiment at TRIUMF. The uncertainty is reduced by nearly half compared to previous experiments. This result will be a valuable input to existing models to constrain pion interactions with nuclei.

The DUET Collaboration reports on the measurements of the absorption ($sigma_{mathrm{ABS}}$) and charge exchange ($sigma_{mathrm{CX}}$) cross sections of positively charged pions on carbon nuclei for the momentum range 201.6 MeV$/c$ to 295.1 MeV$/c$. The uncertainties on the absorption and charge exchange cross sections are $sim$9.5% and $sim$18%, respectively. The results are in good agreement with previous experiments. A covariance matrix correlating the 5 $sigma_{mathrm{ABS}}$ and 5 $sigma_{mathrm{CX}}$ measured data points is also reported

We report the first measurement of the neutron cross section on argon in the energy range of 100-800 MeV. The measurement was obtained with a 4.3-hour exposure of the Mini-CAPTAIN detector to the WNR/LANSCE beam at LANL. The total cross section is me asured from the attenuation coefficient of the neutron flux as it traverses the liquid argon volume. A set of 2,631 candidate interactions is divided in bins of the neutron kinetic energy calculated from time-of-flight measurements. These interactions are reconstructed with custom-made algorithms specifically designed for the data in a time projection chamber the size of the Mini-CAPTAIN detector. The energy averaged cross section is $0.91 pm{} 0.10~mathrm{(stat.)} pm{} 0.09~mathrm{(sys.)}~mathrm{barns}$. A comparison of the measured cross section is made to the GEANT4 and FLUKA event generator packages.
A measurement of electron antineutrino oscillation by the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment is described in detail. Six 2.9-GW$_{rm th}$ nuclear power reactors of the Daya Bay and Ling Ao nuclear power facilities served as intense sources of $ov erline{ u}_{e}$s. Comparison of the $overline{ u}_{e}$ rate and energy spectrum measured by antineutrino detectors far from the nuclear reactors ($sim$1500-1950 m) relative to detectors near the reactors ($sim$350-600 m) allowed a precise measurement of $overline{ u}_{e}$ disappearance. More than 2.5 million $overline{ u}_{e}$ inverse beta decay interactions were observed, based on the combination of 217 days of operation of six antineutrino detectors (Dec. 2011--Jul. 2012) with a subsequent 1013 days using the complete configuration of eight detectors (Oct. 2012--Jul. 2015). The $overline{ u}_{e}$ rate observed at the far detectors relative to the near detectors showed a significant deficit, $R=0.949 pm 0.002(mathrm{stat.}) pm 0.002(mathrm{syst.})$. The energy dependence of $overline{ u}_{e}$ disappearance showed the distinct variation predicted by neutrino oscillation. Analysis using an approximation for the three-flavor oscillation probability yielded the flavor-mixing angle $sin^22theta_{13}=0.0841 pm 0.0027(mathrm{stat.}) pm 0.0019(mathrm{syst.})$ and the effective neutrino mass-squared difference of $left|{Delta}m^2_{mathrm{ee}}right|=(2.50 pm 0.06(mathrm{stat.}) pm 0.06(mathrm{syst.})) times 10^{-3} {rm eV}^2$. Analysis using the exact three-flavor probability found ${Delta}m^2_{32}=(2.45 pm 0.06(mathrm{stat.}) pm 0.06(mathrm{syst.})) times 10^{-3} {rm eV}^2$ assuming the normal neutrino mass hierarchy and ${Delta}m^2_{32}=(-2.56 pm 0.06(mathrm{stat.}) pm 0.06(mathrm{syst.})) times 10^{-3} {rm eV}^2$ for the inverted hierarchy.

We report results from the MuLan measurement of the positive muon lifetime. The experiment was conducted at the Paul Scherrer Institute using a time-structured surface muon beam and a segmented plastic scintillator array. Two different in-vacuum muon stopping targets were used: a ferromagnetic foil with a large internal magnetic field and a quartz crystal in a moderate external magnetic field. From a total of 1.6 x 10^{12} decays, we obtained the muon lifetime tau_mu = 2196980.3(2.2) ps (1.0 ppm) and Fermi constant G_F = 1.1663787(6) x 10^{-5} GeV^{-2} (0.5 ppm).
Neutrino-induced coherent charged pion production on nuclei, $stackrel{(-)}{ u}_mu Atomu^pmpi^mp A$ is a rare, inelastic interaction in which a small squared four-momentum $| t|$ is transferred to the recoil nucleus leaving it intact in the reaction. In the scintillator tracker of MINERvA, we remove events with evidence of particles from nuclear breakup and reconstruct $| t|$ from the final state pion and muon. We select low $| t|$ events to isolate a sample rich in coherent candidates. By selecting low $| t|$ events we produce a model-independent measurement of the differential cross section for coherent scattering of neutrinos and anti-neutrinos on carbon. We find poor agreement with the predicted kinematics in neutrino generators used by current oscillation experiments.
