Aaron M. McGowan

Aaron M. McGowan is a Researcher in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Rochester. He works with the HEP group on the MINERvA experiment, focusing on charged particle interactions in neutrino detectors at Fermilab's NuMI beamline. His research addresses neutrino oscillations and detector physics through MINOS collaboration projects.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Experimental Particle Physics, University of Minnesota (2007)
• B.S. in Applied and Engineering Physics, Cornell University (2003)

Research Interests: Experimental neutrino physics, neutrino oscillations, detector technology development, and analysis of neutrino interactions in MINOS/MINERvA experiments. His work emphasizes precision measurements of neutrino velocity, muon charge ratios, and atmospheric neutrino behavior.

Publications Overview: Primary contributions focus on neutrino velocity measurements, atmospheric muon analysis, and MINOS detector performance. Key topics include charge-separated neutrino events and disappearance channels in long-baseline experiments.

Advisors & Collaborations: Advised by Marvin L. Marshak and Maury C. Goodman during PhD. Active in MINOS collaboration projects at Fermilab. No advisees listed in current data.

Labs/Teams: MINERvA experiment group and MINOS detector team. Engaged with Fermilab's NuMI beamline infrastructure.
