37. Neutrino Oscillations: Experimental Status and Prospects

Tomas Nosek (Charles University (CZ))

11/09/2026, 09:00

Neutrino oscillations provide compelling evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model, suggesting that neutrinos have mass. This talk will review the current experimental picture and highlight the prospects of next-generation projects in addressing the open questions of neutrino oscillation physics: CP violation, the neutrino mass ordering, and precise measurements of neutrino mixing parameters.

11. Neutrino experiment JUNO and its first results

Tomas Tmej (Charles University (CZ))

Experiment JUNO is a neutrino oscillation experiment located in southern China. It is located 53 km away from 2 nuclear powerplants with overall power of about 36 GW (one powerplant is not yet completed) and the experiment uses its 20 kton liquid scintillator as a target. The experiment has many goals and ambitions e.g. determining the neutrino mass hierarchy, measurement of the oscillation...

10. Recent results from the NA62 experiment

Michal Lelák

Recent measurements of rare kaon decays from the NA62 experiment will be presented, highlighting the contributions of the Charles University group. The results include new measurements of $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$, $K^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^+ \pi^- \gamma$, $K^+ \to e^{+} \nu \gamma$, and $K^+ \to \mu^+ \nu \mu^+ \mu^-$. Ongoing analyses and future prospects will also be discussed.

15. Recent results from NA62

Matej Karas (Comenius University (SK))

11/09/2026, 09:54

The NA62 experiment at CERN collected the largest sample of charged kaon decays in the world during the years 2016 - 2026. The most recent results and prospects of future analyses of the collected dataset will be presented.

4. Simulation and Reconstruction of e+ and e- Trajectories in a Time Projection Chamber with Orthogonal Fields

Martin Vavrik (work on IEAP CTU, student of IPNP CUNI)

11/09/2026, 10:12

In this work, we describe the development of track- and energy-reconstruction algorithms for atypical Time Projection Chambers (TPCs) that will be used at the Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics, Czech Technical University in Prague, to search for the anomalous internal pair creation reported by the ATOMKI group.
These chambers operate with an inhomogeneous toroidal magnetic field...

5. Simulation of photon propagation generated by a particle traversing a crystal of arbitrary shape

Jakub Motyčka

This project focuses on the development of a fast, flexible, and modular simulation of photon propagation produced by a charged particle traversing a crystal of arbitrary shape. The physical model includes photon production via scintillation and Cherenkov radiation.

The main goal of the developed software tool is to enable targeted optimization of the optical geometry and output signal...
