Observable effects of relic majorons

We propose a new test for the triplet majoron model by using neutrino bursts from supernova explosions. These pulses suffer scatterings on the cosmological majoron background. As a consequence, they get spread and their energy spectrum is changed with respect to the conventional expectation. We find that positive evidence of distinct neutrino pulses of all species corresponding to muon and tau-neutrinos heavier than 70 eV would rule out the model.

Radiation Hardened Proton Meter for Fermilab External Beam Lines

A beam line current and charge monitor has been in use for several months with the following characteristics: (1) beam toroid in high radiation area 200 feet from electronics, and within 30 feet of the 140, 000 ampere pulsed neutrino horn, (2) response time adequate to permit accurate (1%) measurement of 1 turn fast-extracted beam, (3) digital and analogue readouts for full scale ranges of 2 × 1012, 1 × 1013, and 5 × 1013 protons per pulse, (4) computer readout and standardization via CAMAC, (5) pulse-to-pulse repeatability is 1 in 1000 on test pulses. There is no interference from the horn, which pulses at the same time as the beam.
