64. MicroBooNE's Low Energy Excess Search: First Results and Future Prospects

Mark Ross-Lonergan

11/02/2022, 11:45

The MicroBooNE collaboration recently released a series of measurements aimed at investigating the nature of the excess of low energy electromagnetic interactions observed by the MiniBooNE collaboration. In this talk, we will present the latest results from both a search of single photons in MicroBooNE, as well as a series of three independent analyses leveraging different reconstruction...

62. Searching for Beyond the Standard Model Physics with MicroBooNE

MicroBooNE is an 85-tonne active mass liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) at Fermilab. It has excellent calorimetric, spatial and energy resolution and is exposed to two neutrino beams, which make it a powerful detector not just for neutrino physics, but also for Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) physics. The experiment has competitive sensitivity to heavy neutral leptons possibly...

70. New Proton Beam Dump Experiments at Fermilab: PIP2-BD and SBN-BD

The PIP-II complex at Fermilab is slated for operation later this decade and can support MW-class proton fixed-target programs at both O(1 GeV) and O(10 GeV) in addition to the beam required for DUNE. In this talk we outline new opportunities for BSM searches at O(1 GeV) and O(10 GeV) proton beam dump facilities at Fermilab using existing and proposed neutrino detectors.

68. Opportunity to study physics beyond standard neutrino oscillations at the upcoming accelerator based neutrino oscillation experiments

A major goal of the present and future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments is to make precision measurements of neutrino flavour oscillations, which are well-explained by mixing between three active flavors within current experimental constraints. However, other mechanisms could be responsible for neutrino flavour change on a sub-leading level. The combination of the high intensity...

72. BSM searches in LAr using MeV-scale reconstruction

Will Foreman (University of Chicago)

11/02/2022, 12:45

Liquid argon time projection chambers (LArTPCs) can resolve features over a wide range of energies and length scales. Existing reconstruction and analyses focus on higher-energy topologies, like tracks and showers from neutrino interactions. Numerous additional benefits are gained by extending reconstruction capabilities below 100 MeV. The Low-Energy Physics in Neutrino LArTPCs (LEPLAr)...

42. Decays of New-Physics Particles at the DUNE Near Detector(s)

Kevin James Kelly (CERN)

11/02/2022, 13:00

The upcoming Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) and its near detector complex will allow for many searches for new physics. Among these include the possibility that light (MeV - GeV) particles can be produced in/near the DUNE target and decay inside the near detector, producing a striking signature. In this talk, I will demonstrate the many different types of well-motivated new...
