With detectors at both Fermilab and Ash River, Minnesota, in the United States, NOvA was built to investigate the intricate properties of neutrinos, with a principal emphasis on active three-flavour neutrino mixing phenomena. Comprising two functionally identical detectors, with the Near Detector located 1 km at Fermilab and the Far Detector, located 810 km away and 14 mrad off the beam axis...

We have investigated the non-standard interaction mediated by a scalar field at the upcoming long-baseline neutrino experiments, Protvino to Super-ORCA (P2SO) and Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). Specifically, we have studied the sensitivity of these two experiments to constrain the diagonal Scalar Non-standard interaction (SNSI) parameters $\eta_{ee}$, $\eta_{\mu \mu}$ and...

The decay-at-rest of charged kaons produces monoenergetic muon neutrinos with an energy of 236 MeV. The study of these neutrinos at short baselines allows us to constrain new neutrino interactions. In this work, we study kaon decay-at-rest (KDAR) neutrinos at the \jsns experiment where the J-PARC Spallation Neutron Source (JSNS) will produce such types of neutrinos with decay-at-rest processes...

The upcoming long-baseline experiments, like P2SO, DUNE, T2HK, T2HKK, etc. are highly promising experiments concerning the accurate measurement of various neutrino oscillation parameters. At present, we are looking for a tangible explanation for neutrino masses that are not zero, something that the Standard Model cannot provide. The Large Extra Dimension (LED) theory is one of the strong...

Supernova neutrinos are weakly interacting particles which are produced when a massive star collapses to form a compact object losing 99% of the gravitational binding energy of the remnant in the form of neutrinos with energies of a few tens of Mev in a few tens of seconds. Supernova neutrinos have promising potential to address particularly interesting HEP and astrophysics issues , and...

In the absence of any new physics signals at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), anomalous results at low energy experiments have become the subject of increased attention and scrutiny. We focus on three such results from the LSND, MiniBooNE (MB), and ATOMKI experiments. A 17 MeV pseudoscalar mediator ($a'$) can account for the excess events seen in $^8$Be and $^4$He pair creation transitions in...

The IceCube experiment is a 1 km3 neutrino observatory instrumenting an array of Digital Optical Modules (DOMs) deep inside the ice at the South Pole. DeepCore, a densely-spaced subarray of DOMs at the bottom central region of IceCube, enables the detection of atmospheric neutrinos with an energy threshold in the GeV range. With a wide range of energies over a large range of...

The information about the mass of Earth and its internal structure has been obtained mainly using gravitational measurements and seismic studies, which depend upon gravitational and electromagnetic interactions, respectively. Neutrinos provide an independent way of exploring the interior of Earth using weak interactions through Earthโs matter effects in neutrino oscillations. Since these...

The innovative aspect of this study is the introduction of a hybrid scoto-seesaw model based on $A_4$ discrete modular symmetry, which has many intriguing phenomenological implications. Using the type-I seesaw mechanism at the tree level, the scoto-seesaw framework generates one mass square difference $( \Delta m^2_{\rm atm}$). Furthermore, a clear explanation of the two distinct mass square...

Mr Supriya Pan15/10/2024, 16:45Parallel talk
The observation of neutrino oscillation means the presence of massive neutrinos in the Standard Model. The well-established framework of standard three-flavor neutrino oscillation sets us for the goal of looking for new physics beyond SM. The heavier neutrino states can decay into lighter ones, first proposed to explain the zenith angle dependence observed in the first data of atmospheric...

Neutrino oscillations can be affected by the presence of Earth-matter through charged and neutral current (NC) interactions, which are mediated by W and Z bosons, respectively. To investigate beyond Standard Model NC interactions, an additional gauge boson ($Z^\prime$) can facilitate interactions between matter and neutrinos. In our study, we investigate a lightweight $Z^\prime$ with a mass...

We propose extension of minimal Scotogenic model with discrete $Z_4$ symmetry. The model is extended with a fermion triplet and a scalar singlet. The Yukawa coupling of triplet fermion with inert doublet gives positive contribution to muon's anomalous magnetic moment. The decay of fermion triplet also generates net lepton asymmetry only in muonic sector due to $Z_4$ charges. Involvement of the...

The framework of three-flavor neutrino oscillation is a well-established phenomenon. However, results from short-baseline experiments, such as the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) and MiniBooster Neutrino Experiment (MiniBooNE), suggest the potential existence of an additional light neutrino state characterized by a mass-squared difference of approximately $1,\rm eV^2$. This...

NuMI Off-axis $\nu_e$ Appearance (NOvA) experiment is an on-going long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. In addition to the $\nu_{\mu}$, $\bar{\nu}_{\mu}$ disappearance events, it analyses the $\nu_e$ and $\bar{\nu}_e$ appearance events within the energy range of $1<E<4$ GeV. In this work, we consider the high energy $\nu_e$ and $\bar{\nu}_e$ appearance events in the range $4<E<20$ GeV...

The IceCube DeepCore detector, with its denser central arrangement, can detect sub-GeV atmospheric neutrinos. The oscillation pattern of neutrinos is altered due to interactions with ambient matter as they travel. The changes in these patterns are influenced by the amount of matter and its specific arrangement. As neutrinos propagate, they retain information about the densities they encounter....

The discovery of non-zero ฮธ13 has opened an exciting opportunity for probing the Earth's matter effect in three-flavor neutrino oscillations. This phenomenon depends upon the energy of neutrinos and the density distribution of electrons they encounter during their propagation. It holds significant relevance for advancing our understanding regarding neutrino mass ordering, complementary and...

NOvA, is a two-detector, long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment located at Fermilab, Batavia, IL, USA. It aims to constrain neutrino oscillation parameters by analyzing $\nu_\mu (\bar{\nu}_\mu)$ disappearance and $\nu_e (\bar{\nu}_e)$ appearance data.

In the current precision era of neutrino physics, the subdominant new physics scenarios, such as non-standard interactions (NSIs) are of great interest for exploring physics beyond the standard model (BSM). Scalar NSI (SNSI), which is mediated by a scalar field, has been a fascinating area of study in recent times. Unlike vector NSI, SNSI modifies the standard neutrino mass matrix through...

In this talk, I will discuss how long-lived particle (LLP) searches using non-pointing photons can be used to probe transition magnetic moments of heavy sterile neutrinos. Active-to-sterile and sterile-to-sterile transition magnetic dipole moments are examined in the Standard Model effective field theory extended with right-handed neutrinos (NRSMEFT) and in a simplified UV-complete scenario....

We investigate the potential for low-scale leptogenesis and WIMP dark matter within the singlet-triplet scotogenic model (STScM). First, we examine the scenario with two heavy right-handed fermion (HRF) fields, $N$ and $\Sigma$, which exhibit a moderate mass hierarchy. In this setup, the out-of-equilibrium decays of both HRFs generate a lepton asymmetry. Our analysis shows that the...

Current ton-scale direct detection experiments have begun observing solar neutrinos. We probe the weak mixing angle using existing direct detection data. Leveraging recent measurements of B solar neutrinos via coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering by PandaX-4T and XENONnT, we demonstrate that these experiments can probe the weak mixing angle in a region complementary to that of dedicated...

In neutrino oscillation experiments, it was discovered more than twenty years ago that neutrinos have nonzero masses. Till then the values of two mass-squared differences have been measured with an unprecedented accuracy without revealing the absolute mass scale for neutrinos. On the other hand, the underlying symmetry that can generate the appropriate neutrino-mixing pattern also remains...

In neutrino oscillation experiments, heavy nuclear targets are used to increase the number of neutrino interactions and improve statistical accuracy, but this introduces systematic uncertainties due to the complex nuclear environment. The interaction of neutrinos with nuclear targets results in an imprecise neutrino energy reconstruction and cross-sectional uncertainties, which affect the...
