Session 4b: Neutrino and Dark Matter
- Mark Messier (IU)
Observation of neutrinoless double beta decay would profoundly impact our understanding of the neutrino. This lepton-number violating process requires new beyond Standard Model physics, would imply that neutrinos are Majorana particles, and provide insight into the nature of neutrino mass. It is thus a highly-sensitive and promising probe of new physics. In this talk, I will present the...
The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is the first bolometric experiment searching for 0νββ decay that has been able to reach the one-tonne mass scale. The detector, located at the LNGS in Italy, consists of an array of 988 TeO2 crystals arranged in a compact cylindrical structure of 19 towers. CUORE began its first physics data run in 2017 at a base temperature of...
The MINOS/MINOS+ experiment, which consisted of two magnetised steel-scintillator tracking calorimeters, observed neutrino and antineutrino flavour change over a baseline of 735 km in the NuMI beam from Fermilab.
With 11 years of collected data in configurations with peak energies at 3 GeV and 6 GeV, the experiment, which has performed precision measurements of neutrino...
FASER$\nu$ at the LHC is designed to directly detect collider neutrinos for the first time and study their properties at TeV energies, where no such measurements currently exist. The detector will be located 480 m downstream of the ATLAS interaction point. With FASERnu, the three-flavor neutrino cross-sections will be measured in the currently unexplored energy range between 360 GeV and 5 TeV....
SND@LHC is a compact and stand-alone experiment to perform measurements with neutrinos produced at the LHC in a hitherto unexplored pseudo-rapidity region of 7.2 < 𝜂 < 8.6, complementary to all the other experiments at the LHC. The experiment is to be located 480 m downstream of IP1 in the unused TI18 tunnel. The detector is composed of a hybrid system based on an 800 kg target mass of...
