| Research Abstract |
Physics data taking of OPERA, a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, has been successfully in progress since 2008 and a first tau neutrino candidate event has been found. Based on the techniques used in OPERA, we have studied a possible emulsion detector of next generation neutrino oscillation experiments to observe all the 6 types of neutrino/anti-neutrino charged current interactions. We have made a prototype of such a detector placed in a magnetic field and tested it with electron and hadron beams. As a result, we have found that it has sufficient accuracy for the electric charge sign measurement.
