3. Searching for BSM solar neutrino interactions using directional detectors

Anirudh Chandra Shekar (Texas A&M University)

16/11/2025, 09:00

In this talk, I explore the potential of future small-scale gas TPCs with directional ability to probe neutrino interactions beyond the standard model. Working in the framework of non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI), we calculate combined energy-angle distributions of electron and nucleus recoils by solar neutrinos to place constraints on NSI parameters. We estimate that with realistic...

17. Quantifying the Nuclear Form Factor Uncertainties on the Neutrino Trident Events at Short-Baseline Neutrino Experiments

Diego Lopez Gutierrez (Washington University in St Louis)

We present the first detailed analysis of nuclear form factor uncertainties relevant for neutrino trident processes at argon-based short-baseline neutrino detectors. Accurately quantifying this uncertainty is important to perform precision Standard Model physics analyses and Beyond the Standard Model searches using neutrino tridents of all flavors, a feat which will be possible for the first...

15. Distinguishing Flavor Model Predictions at Neutrino Experiments

Henry Truelson (Colorado State University)

Probing flavor models which provide a rationale behind the observed pattern of neutrino mixings can bring us closer to understanding the origin of flavor in the Standard Model of particle physics. The most predictive flavor models predict not only the mixing parameters but also correlations between them. We study several classes of flavor models, contrast their predictions with current...

29. Neutron Star Mergers as a Probe of Neutrino Mass via Gravitational Wave and Neutrino Timing

Next-generation neutrino experiment Hyper-Kamiokande is expected to detect the diffuse supernova neutrino background (DSNB) over a decade-long observation. While supernovae have received considerable attention, binary neutron star (BNS) mergers represent a complementary, yet largely unexplored, diffuse neutrino source. The landmark multi-messenger detection of GW170817 demonstrated the...

24. Neutrino Production and Detection in Muon Collider Acceleration

Ju-Yeol Choi (University of Iowa)

16/11/2025, 10:12

We study the neutrino flux at the accelerator stages of a future muon collider by simulating a hydrogen gas detector at a fixed location down the beamline. We investigated the event rate and energy spectra of neutrinos produced by the muons decaying in the accelerators. By comparing the resulting neutrino energy scales and interaction rates with those expected from existing neutrino factory...
