Zdroj monoenergetických elektronů pro monitorování spektrometru v neutrinovém experimentu KATRIN
Slezák, Martin ; Vénos, Drahoslav (advisor) ; Vorobel, Vít (referee)
The international project KATRIN (KArlsruhe TRItium Neutrino experiment) is a next- generation tritium beta decay experiment. It is designed to measure the electron antineutrino mass by means of a unique electron spectrometer with sensitivity of 0.2 eV/c2 . This is an improvement of one order of magnitude over the last results. Important part of the measurement will rest in continuous precise monitoring of high voltage of the KATRIN main spectrometer. The monitoring will be done by means of conversion electrons emitted from a solid source based on 83 Rb decay. Properties of several of these sources are studied in this thesis by means of the semiconductor gamma-ray spectroscopy. Firstly, measurement of precise energy of the 9.4 keV nuclear transition observed in 83 Rb decay, from which the energy of conversion electrons is derived, is reported. Secondly, measurement of activity distribution of the solid sources by means of the Timepix detector is described. Finally, a report on measurement of retention of 83 Rb decay product, the isomeric state 83m Kr, in the solid sources is given.

Measurement of scintillator light yield nonlinearity in the neutrino experiment JUNO
Tměj, Tomáš ; Vorobel, Vít (advisor) ; Krtička, Milan (referee)
In order to be able to determine neutrino mass hierarchy in the neutrino oscillation experiment JUNO we need to understand the dependence of the response of the signal from the scintillator on the deposited energy inside the scintillator. We measure the nonlinearity of the signal response via the Compton scattering inside the scintillator and via the precision gamma spectroscopy inside the HPGe detector. We observe effects of different parameters on the experiment via the Monte Carlo simulations. We also improve the data processing of the measured data and discuss what improvements of the experiment we can use in the future.

Neutrino physics at NOvA experiment
Králik, Róbert ; Soustružník, Karel (advisor) ; Vorobel, Vít (referee)
Title: Neutrino physics at NOvA experiment Author: Róbert Králik Institute: Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics Supervisor: RNDr. Karel Soustružník, Ph.D., Institute of Particle and Nuclear Physics Abstract: This thesis describes neutrino phenomenology, with special aim at the phenomenon of sterile neutrinos and its experimental study, particularly in the NOvA experiment. Its aim is to clearly and comprehensibly introduce sterile neutrinos in context of historical and present measurements and discoveries. A brief summary of neutrino history is shown, as well as the theory of neutrino oscillations, including a description of matter effects and the effect of adding sterile neutrinos on the oscillation probabilities. NOvA experiment is presented, describing the neutrino source, the detectors and the used particle identification methods. Different experiments for the study of sterile neutrinos are listed and shortly described, with special concentration on the NOvA experiment and its measurement via the neutral-current channel. A detailed description of the first NOvA sterile neutrino result is provided, as well as the aspects of NOvA's current sterile neutrino analyses. Keywords: neutrino, neutrino oscillations, sterile neutrinos, NOvA experiment 1

Linearity of light yield in JUNO neutrino experiment
Tměj, Tomáš ; Vorobel, Vít (advisor) ; Krtička, Milan (referee)
The aim of the work is measurement of linearity of liquid scintillator light yield. Knowledge of deviation from the light yield linearity is essential for interpretation of the data measured in the neutrino experiment JUNO. The method is based on use of Compton scattering in the tested scintillator and on precise spectroscopy of the scattered gamma radiation.

Studium vlastností neutrin pomocí NOvA detektoru
Jelínková, Zuzana ; Soustružník, Karel (advisor) ; Zálešák, Jaroslav (referee)
The NOνA experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment designed to measure electron neutrinos (νe) appearing in the NuMI beam, a muon neutrino (νµ) source at Fermilab. Its two detectors, Near and Far, are functionally identical active tracking calorimeters. This thesis is focused on the relative calibration of the Near Detector. The individual steps of the process, threshold, shadowing and attenuation calibration, are described. For the calibration, NOνA standardly uses cosmic muons. Alternative source, so called rock muons which are muons that originated from interactions of beam νµs with a rock surrounding the Near Detector, is introduced. The thesis guides through the development of selection criteria used to distinguish rock muon tracks from the data. Selected sample of rock muon tracks is used for the relative calibration and at each step the results are compared to the cosmic muons based calibration. The whole analysis is performed using simulated Monte Carlo data. 1

Methods of determination of neutrino mass hierarchy
Dohnal, Tadeáš ; Leitner, Rupert (advisor) ; Soustružník, Karel (referee)
In this thesis, the question of neutrino mass hierarchy is investigated. For this purpose, possibilities of neutrino mass origin are mentioned and phenomenology of neutrino oscillations within three active neutrino framework is introduced. Using that, it is described what neutrino mass hierarchy is and why it would be good to know it. After that, an overview of approaches to this problem is provided, including outline of the JUNO experiment. The approach based on comparison of mass splitting measured in experiments with reactor antineutrinos and accelerator neutrinos is investigated in great detail. The final part of this thesis is measurement of resistive plate chamber properties, as this type of detector was considered to be used in the JUNO experiment (but eventually other type will be used instead).

Studium parametrů oscilací neutrin v experimentu NOvA
Nosek, Tomáš ; Soustružník, Karel (advisor) ; Leitner, Rupert (referee)
This thesis aims at the neutrino oscillations phenomena and the role of longbaseline neutrino oscillation experiments and NOνA in particular in oscillation parameters search. The standard formalism of 3 neutrinos model is described, NOνA experiment and its main features and physics goals (mixing angles θ13 and θ23, CP violation, the value of the CP phase δ and mass hierarchy determination) are introduced. The effects of media to neutrino propagation are explained and effective matter oscillation parameters are derived. The way to resolve the mass hierarchy exploiting matter effects in long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments is depicted and consequent problems regarding the recent knowledge of oscillation parameters, i.e. δ-, θ13- and θ23-degeneracies, are discussed. In the last part GLoBES software is used to simulate NOνA results and to compute the estimated sensitivities to the mass hierarchy in case of 3 years ν run and 1.5ν+1.5ν years run in order to show the advantage of an earlier switch to antineutrino mode in mass hierarchy determination.
