Publications

Here you can find a listing of my physics publications as a postdoctoral fellow working on the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR and LEGEND experiments, and as a PhD student working on the T2K experiment. I have broken my publications down as follows:

  • Dissertation: My PhD dissertation at the University of Victoria (Canada), with some accompanying comments. A link to its entry in the University of Victoria’s dissertation repository is included.
  • Proceedings: Short papers I authored based on a presentation I gave at a conference, which were reviewed by my collaborators prior to submission. Where possible a link to an open access preprint is included.
  • Featured Journal Articles: Articles published in peer-reviewed journals, for which I have noted my direct contribution to the topic of the article. Links to the journal page and the open access preprint are included.
  • Other Journal Articles: In large experimental particle/nuclear physics collaborations, one’s contribution to a publication is often more indirect (e.g. you participated in collection of some of the data, contributed to the software that was used, or developed/maintained some of the experimental apparatus.) Experimental collaborations define authorship rules to attempt to fairly capture this level of indirect involvement. I have listed all articles published in peer-reviewed journals with these indirect contributions here.

Dissertation

  • J.W. Myslik. Measurement of muon antineutrino disappearance in the T2K Experiment. University of Victoria (2016).
    • Open access link: http://hdl.handle.net/1828/7415
    • My dissertation provides an introduction to neutrino physics, describes the apparatus of the experiment, and describes a full T2K neutrino oscillation analysis. My specific contributions to the experiment are described on page xviii (“Contributions”). In summary:
      • Applying the Maximum Likelihood method to estimate experiment model parameters from data collected by the near detector, using a software framework that I built and optimized. (Described in Chapter 6)
        • In the Featured Articles section below, this work is referred to as the “near detector analysis.”
      • Using the near detector model and external data to build software that computes the systematic uncertainty in our data analysis due to the interaction model for a particle (pions). (Described in Section 5.4.16)
        • In the Featured Articles section below, this work is referred to as the “pion reinteraction systematic.”
      • Contributing to the development, installation, and testing of a key detector subsystem, and taking overall responsibility of ensuring its stable day-to-day operation. (Described in Section 4.3)
        • In the Featured Articles section below, this work is referred to as the “gas handling system.”
