The experimental challenge of direct detection of TAUrsquos appearance
bull A touch of physics
bull LongBaseLine experience in Europe (CNGS)
bull ldquoModernrdquo Nuclear Emulsion Technique (OPERA Detector)
bull RUNS from 2006 to 2009 from DAQ to submicrometric measures what we have learned what we are measuring
bull Expectations (in the near future)

Here is our START and END point
the lepton mixing
In 1998 new history for neutrino begins (as a second life) - Neutrinos oscillate (SK and afterwords SNO K2K hellip) they own masses
Why how which
- Neutrinos mix themselves (CHOOZ and afterwords KamLAND hellip) MNS matrix
41 years after Pontecorvo idea on oscillations in 1957
Luca Stanco - Padova nu oscillations - BEYOND 2010 4Luca Stanco - Padova 4
CHOOZ looked for e rarr oscillations (disappearance)
PLB 420 (1998) 397
Mainly after KamLANDhellip

of Chooz result in terms of

Standard parametrization of Mixing matrix via 3 Euler rotations
Message leptons and quarks mix in a similar way
1) Phase violates CP and 2) so phases 12 in Majorana picture3) Matrix unitarity if no sterile neutrino
BUT with 3 BIG questions

Conclusions
OPERA goals 1) taursquos evidence
(~ 2 events expected to be observed utn) 2) taursquos oscillation confirmation 3) Ancillary results on charm and cosmics 4) Confirm the unexpected
OPERA challenges 1) from cm to micron precisions
2) Intimate interplay of ldquostandardrdquo and ldquosubtletiesrdquo technologies 3) ldquoIndustrialrdquo activities not only at construction time but even heavier at analysis stage 4) Up till now we collected 53 x 1019 pot
OPERA represent a unique measurement to stay in future textbooks

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

Luca Stanco - Padova OPERA - CTP 2009 2
The experimental challenge of direct detection of TAUrsquos appearance
bull A touch of physics
bull LongBaseLine experience in Europe (CNGS)
bull ldquoModernrdquo Nuclear Emulsion Technique (OPERA Detector)
bull RUNS from 2006 to 2009 from DAQ to submicrometric measures what we have learned what we are measuring
bull Expectations (in the near future)

Here is our START and END point
the lepton mixing
In 1998 new history for neutrino begins (as a second life) - Neutrinos oscillate (SK and afterwords SNO K2K hellip) they own masses
Why how which
- Neutrinos mix themselves (CHOOZ and afterwords KamLAND hellip) MNS matrix
41 years after Pontecorvo idea on oscillations in 1957
Luca Stanco - Padova nu oscillations - BEYOND 2010 4Luca Stanco - Padova 4
CHOOZ looked for e rarr oscillations (disappearance)

Mainly after KamLANDhellip

Conclusions
OPERA goals 1) taursquos evidence
(~ 2 events expected to be observed utn) 2) taursquos oscillation confirmation 3) Ancillary results on charm and cosmics 4) Confirm the unexpected
OPERA challenges 1) from cm to micron precisions
2) Intimate interplay of ldquostandardrdquo and ldquosubtletiesrdquo technologies 3) ldquoIndustrialrdquo activities not only at construction time but even heavier at analysis stage 4) Up till now we collected 53 x 1019 pot
OPERA represent a unique measurement to stay in future textbooks

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time

o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)

The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

Here is our START and END point
the lepton mixing
In 1998 new history for neutrino begins (as a second life) - Neutrinos oscillate (SK and afterwords SNO K2K hellip) they own masses
Why how which
- Neutrinos mix themselves (CHOOZ and afterwords KamLAND hellip) MNS matrix
41 years after Pontecorvo idea on oscillations in 1957

Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)

The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

Conclusions
OPERA goals 1) taursquos evidence
(~ 2 events expected to be observed utn) 2) taursquos oscillation confirmation 3) Ancillary results on charm and cosmics 4) Confirm the unexpected
OPERA challenges 1) from cm to micron precisions
2) Intimate interplay of ldquostandardrdquo and ldquosubtletiesrdquo technologies 3) ldquoIndustrialrdquo activities not only at construction time but even heavier at analysis stage 4) Up till now we collected 53 x 1019 pot
OPERA represent a unique measurement to stay in future textbooks

The CNGS UTC systems and the measurement of neutrino velocity
UTC Universal Time Coordinate

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

Conclusions
OPERA goals 1) taursquos evidence
(~ 2 events expected to be observed utn) 2) taursquos oscillation confirmation 3) Ancillary results on charm and cosmics 4) Confirm the unexpected
OPERA challenges 1) from cm to micron precisions
2) Intimate interplay of ldquostandardrdquo and ldquosubtletiesrdquo technologies 3) ldquoIndustrialrdquo activities not only at construction time but even heavier at analysis stage 4) Up till now we collected 53 x 1019 pot
OPERA represent a unique measurement to stay in future textbooks

The CNGS UTC systems and the measurement of neutrino velocity
UTC Universal Time Coordinate
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 68
The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

Conclusions
OPERA goals 1) taursquos evidence
(~ 2 events expected to be observed utn) 2) taursquos oscillation confirmation 3) Ancillary results on charm and cosmics 4) Confirm the unexpected
OPERA challenges 1) from cm to micron precisions
2) Intimate interplay of ldquostandardrdquo and ldquosubtletiesrdquo technologies 3) ldquoIndustrialrdquo activities not only at construction time but even heavier at analysis stage 4) Up till now we collected 53 x 1019 pot
OPERA represent a unique measurement to stay in future textbooks

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

Conclusions
OPERA goals 1) taursquos evidence
(~ 2 events expected to be observed utn) 2) taursquos oscillation confirmation 3) Ancillary results on charm and cosmics 4) Confirm the unexpected
OPERA challenges 1) from cm to micron precisions
2) Intimate interplay of ldquostandardrdquo and ldquosubtletiesrdquo technologies 3) ldquoIndustrialrdquo activities not only at construction time but even heavier at analysis stage 4) Up till now we collected 53 x 1019 pot
OPERA represent a unique measurement to stay in future textbooks

The CNGS UTC systems and the measurement of neutrino velocity
UTC Universal Time Coordinate
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 68
The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

Conclusions
OPERA goals 1) taursquos evidence
(~ 2 events expected to be observed utn) 2) taursquos oscillation confirmation 3) Ancillary results on charm and cosmics 4) Confirm the unexpected
OPERA challenges 1) from cm to micron precisions
2) Intimate interplay of ldquostandardrdquo and ldquosubtletiesrdquo technologies 3) ldquoIndustrialrdquo activities not only at construction time but even heavier at analysis stage 4) Up till now we collected 53 x 1019 pot
OPERA represent a unique measurement to stay in future textbooks

The CNGS UTC systems and the measurement of neutrino velocity
UTC Universal Time Coordinate
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 68
The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

Conclusions
OPERA goals 1) taursquos evidence
(~ 2 events expected to be observed utn) 2) taursquos oscillation confirmation 3) Ancillary results on charm and cosmics 4) Confirm the unexpected
OPERA challenges 1) from cm to micron precisions
2) Intimate interplay of ldquostandardrdquo and ldquosubtletiesrdquo technologies 3) ldquoIndustrialrdquo activities not only at construction time but even heavier at analysis stage 4) Up till now we collected 53 x 1019 pot
OPERA represent a unique measurement to stay in future textbooks

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The CNGS UTC systems and the measurement of neutrino velocity
UTC Universal Time Coordinate
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 68
The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

Conclusions
OPERA goals 1) taursquos evidence
(~ 2 events expected to be observed utn) 2) taursquos oscillation confirmation 3) Ancillary results on charm and cosmics 4) Confirm the unexpected
OPERA challenges 1) from cm to micron precisions
2) Intimate interplay of ldquostandardrdquo and ldquosubtletiesrdquo technologies 3) ldquoIndustrialrdquo activities not only at construction time but even heavier at analysis stage 4) Up till now we collected 53 x 1019 pot
OPERA represent a unique measurement to stay in future textbooks
(~25 taus produced)

UTC Universal Time Coordinate

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

Conclusions
OPERA goals 1) taursquos evidence
(~ 2 events expected to be observed utn) 2) taursquos oscillation confirmation 3) Ancillary results on charm and cosmics 4) Confirm the unexpected
OPERA challenges 1) from cm to micron precisions
2) Intimate interplay of ldquostandardrdquo and ldquosubtletiesrdquo technologies 3) ldquoIndustrialrdquo activities not only at construction time but even heavier at analysis stage 4) Up till now we collected 53 x 1019 pot
OPERA represent a unique measurement to stay in future textbooks
(~25 taus produced)

The CNGS UTC systems and the measurement of neutrino velocity
UTC Universal Time Coordinate
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 68
The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

Conclusions
OPERA goals 1) taursquos evidence
(~ 2 events expected to be observed utn) 2) taursquos oscillation confirmation 3) Ancillary results on charm and cosmics 4) Confirm the unexpected
OPERA challenges 1) from cm to micron precisions
2) Intimate interplay of ldquostandardrdquo and ldquosubtletiesrdquo technologies 3) ldquoIndustrialrdquo activities not only at construction time but even heavier at analysis stage 4) Up till now we collected 53 x 1019 pot
OPERA represent a unique measurement to stay in future textbooks

The CNGS UTC systems and the measurement of neutrino velocity
UTC Universal Time Coordinate
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 68
The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

Decay search
A systematic DECAY SEARCH was started on 2008 and 2009 data in order to find all possible decay topologies 1) improvement of the vertex definition and IP distribution 2) detection of possible kink topologies (on tracks attached to primary vertex) 3) search for extra tracks from decays not attached to primary vertex20 charm candidates were found so far (in good part with the scan-back and vertex location procedures) Charm events are the control sample for decay search completion of systematic decay search for final evaluation

Conclusions
OPERA goals 1) taursquos evidence
(~ 2 events expected to be observed utn) 2) taursquos oscillation confirmation 3) Ancillary results on charm and cosmics 4) Confirm the unexpected
OPERA challenges 1) from cm to micron precisions
2) Intimate interplay of ldquostandardrdquo and ldquosubtletiesrdquo technologies 3) ldquoIndustrialrdquo activities not only at construction time but even heavier at analysis stage 4) Up till now we collected 53 x 1019 pot
OPERA represent a unique measurement to stay in future textbooks
(~25 taus produced)

The CNGS UTC systems and the measurement of neutrino velocity
UTC Universal Time Coordinate

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs

Luca Stanco - Padova OPERA - CTP 2009 61
Conclusions
OPERA goals 1) taursquos evidence
(~ 2 events expected to be observed utn) 2) taursquos oscillation confirmation 3) Ancillary results on charm and cosmics 4) Confirm the unexpected
OPERA challenges 1) from cm to micron precisions
2) Intimate interplay of ldquostandardrdquo and ldquosubtletiesrdquo technologies 3) ldquoIndustrialrdquo activities not only at construction time but even heavier at analysis stage 4) Up till now we collected 53 x 1019 pot
OPERA represent a unique measurement to stay in future textbooks
(~25 taus produced)

The CNGS UTC systems and the measurement of neutrino velocity
UTC Universal Time Coordinate
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 68
The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

Decay search
A systematic DECAY SEARCH was started on 2008 and 2009 data in order to find all possible decay topologies 1) improvement of the vertex definition and IP distribution 2) detection of possible kink topologies (on tracks attached to primary vertex) 3) search for extra tracks from decays not attached to primary vertex20 charm candidates were found so far (in good part with the scan-back and vertex location procedures) Charm events are the control sample for decay search completion of systematic decay search for final evaluation

Conclusions
OPERA goals 1) taursquos evidence
(~ 2 events expected to be observed utn) 2) taursquos oscillation confirmation 3) Ancillary results on charm and cosmics 4) Confirm the unexpected
OPERA challenges 1) from cm to micron precisions
2) Intimate interplay of ldquostandardrdquo and ldquosubtletiesrdquo technologies 3) ldquoIndustrialrdquo activities not only at construction time but even heavier at analysis stage 4) Up till now we collected 53 x 1019 pot

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

UTC Universal Time Coordinate
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 68
The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time

o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs
Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain

Luca Stanco - Padova OPERA - CTP 2009 61
Conclusions
OPERA goals 1) taursquos evidence
(~ 2 events expected to be observed utn) 2) taursquos oscillation confirmation 3) Ancillary results on charm and cosmics 4) Confirm the unexpected
OPERA challenges 1) from cm to micron precisions
2) Intimate interplay of ldquostandardrdquo and ldquosubtletiesrdquo technologies 3) ldquoIndustrialrdquo activities not only at construction time but even heavier at analysis stage 4) Up till now we collected 53 x 1019 pot
OPERA represent a unique measurement to stay in future textbooks

The Global Positioning System (GPS)The GPS system was built and it is controlled by the US militaries (DOD) it is composed by at least 24 satellites orbiting at 20000 Km the budget for maintenance is 500 M$year
Depending on the place and the time of the day on average between 5 and 8 satellites are visible by an observer on the earth
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 69
Each satellite is equipped with a Cs atomic clock and transmits its time and position (computed with its ephemeris)
eg x1y1z1t1The observer on the earth getting the quadrivectors of 4 satellites has to solve a system of 4 equations in order to find his own time and position x0y0z0t0
(x0-x1)2 + (y0-y1)2 + (z0-z1)2 = c2(t0-t1)2
(x0-x2)2 + (y0-y2)2 + (z0-z2)2 = c2(t0-t2)2
(x0-x3)2 + (y0-y3)2 + (z0-z3)2 = c2(t0-t3)2
(x0-x4)2 + (y0-y4)2 + (z0-z4)2 = c2(t0-t4)2
Then x0y0z0t0 can be converted in the more familiarLatitudeLongitudeAltitude and time
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 70
o At least 4 satellites are needed if only 3 satellites are visible one canstill compute the position by imposing the constraint of being on the surface of the earth (geoid model) in this case the altitude cannot be measured In case n (ngt4) satellites are visible the system becomes overconstrained and the precision improves as 1sqrt(n)
o If the observer knows already his position x0y0z0 (fixed observer)then just one satellite is needed in order to measure t0 (time mode)
o One assumes the speed of the ligth in vacuum (c) but this is not exactely the case since the ionosphere is a mediumThe satellite emits on two frequenciesL1=1575 GHz (CA code)L2=12276 GHz (P(y) code) in order to model and correct for the real speed of the ligth in the ionosphere (differential GPS)
Luca Stanco ndash ISTITUTO NAZIONALE di FISICA NUCLEARE - Padova 6 Maggio 2010 71
The satellites needs to know their ephemeris and the atomic clocks need continously to be readjusted from the ground stations with a complex procedure Main control at Colorado Springs

Relativistic corrections are not negligible and are correctly taken into account

CERN-LNGS UTC clocks intercalibration
For the neutrino spill syncronization both CERN and LNGS have a double unit (including a spare) UTC clock system but from different manifacturers The CERN system was calibrated by the Swiss metrology institute METAS
CERN and LNGS systems have comparable performance (lt100 ns) and their single units are in both cases based on a GPS system + Rb clock
One of the CERN UTC units was installed and running for one month in Gran Sasso in order to check for relative offsets and time stability of the two systems Action was taken also to measure all the delays in the LNGS time distribution chain
LNGS UTC cloks(ESAT)
