Modern neutrino oscillation experiments use neutrino event generators to determine systematic uncertainties, often arising due to model dependence. Final state interactions (FSI), which are modelled using intranuclear cascade models, are a dominant source of uncertainty in these experiments; as experimental improvements both decrease statistical uncertainty and allow lower nucleon momenta to...

The MicroBooNE experiment is a liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) that operated for six years at Fermilab, located on-axis of the Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) target, and 8° off-axis to the Neutrinos from the Main Injector (NuMI) beam. In this talk, I will present searches for Beyond the Standard Model physics producing electron-positron final states using data from both the BNB and...

Tokai to Kamioka is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment in Japan. The primary goal of the T2K experiment is to investigate neutrino oscillations and CP-violation using neutrino and antineutrino beams. To make precision measurements of these oscillations, the un-oscillated beam is characterised using the off-axis near detector, ND280, at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex...

The NOvA (NuMI Off-Axis electron neutrino Appearance) Experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment composed of two functionally identical detectors, a 300 ton Near Detector, and a 14 kton Far Detector separated by 809 km and placed 14 mrad off the axis of the NuMI neutrino beam created at Fermilab. This configuration enables NOvA's rich neutrino physics program, which includes...

The NEXT collaboration is focused on the development of high-pressure gaseous xenon time projection chambers to investigate the Majorana nature of the neutrino via the search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ). The previous NEXT-WHITE detector demonstrated the technology's excellent capabilities with respect to energy resolution (sub-1%), topological discrimination, and a good...

The SuperNEMO Demonstrator is a double-beta-decay detector, currently taking physics data at LSM, France. It has a unique ability to measure the full topology of decay events, thanks to a tracking detector filled with a carefully-controlled gas mixture consisting of 95$\%$ ultra-pure helium, 4$\%$ ethanol, and 1$\%$ argon. To achieve SuperNEMO's ambitious radiopurity target of 0.15mBq/m3,...

The discovery of neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) would have a profound impact on particle physics. This would show Lepton number is not conserved and neutrinos are Majorana particles. Unfortunately for us, the expected rate of this decay is vanishingly small. This creates an extremely large experimental challenge, the largest of which is to control the rate of background...

The upcoming next-generation neutrino experiments, notably the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), and the joint analysis of existing experiments, such as that of T2K and NOvA, bring long-baseline neutrino experiments into the precision era. Performing $5\sigma$ measurements of neutrino properties using Bayesian analysis typically requires hundreds of billions of Markov-Chain Monte...

FASER is a compact, purpose-built experiment at the LHC, investigating long-lived BSM particles and collider neutrinos, located approximately 480m from the ATLAS interaction point. As the first experiment to directly measure collider neutrinos, it continues to probe the previously unexplored energy gap between neutrinos from man-made sources and astrophysical processes. Its latest results use...

The MicroBooNE experiment is an 85-tonne liquid argon time-projection chamber (LArTPC) that operated at Fermilab from 2015 to 2021, exposed to both the Booster Neutrino Beamline (BNB) and the Main Injector Neutrino Beamline (NuMI). Uniquely positioned, MicroBooNE sits off-axis to the NuMI beam and upstream of the NuMI hadron absorber, providing strong sensitivity to heavy, long-lived...

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) dark matter experiment is located at a depth of about 4850 feet at Sanford Underground Research Facility (South Dakota, USA). The LZ detector constitutes a dual-phase time projection chamber with a 7-tonne liquid xenon target. Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), well motivated dark matter candidates, are expected to produce nuclear recoils while interacting with...

nuSTORM (neutrinos from STORed Muons) is a future-generation accelerator-based neutrino facility that is currently being designed to have %-level flux uncertainty. This facility produces neutrinos from the decay of muons circulating in a storage ring. nuSTORM will be able to measure ν-nucleus cross-section with great precision for both electron and muon neutrinos. The storage ring will store...

The SuperNEMO Demonstrator is a double-beta-decay experiment with a unique capability to reconstruct the full topology of decay events. The ability to identify and measure the energy and trajectory of individual particles enables sophisticated background rejection, as well as the ability to search for not only neutrinoless double-beta decay, but also exotic decays and nuclear effects on the...
