I argue that LHC may shed light on the nature of neutrino mass through the probe of the seesaw mechanism. The smoking gun signature is lepton number violation through the production of same sign lepton pairs, a collider analogy of the neutrinoless double beta decay. I discuss this in the context of L-R symmetric theories, which predicted
neutrino mass long before experiment and led to the...

The transverse emittance of the muon beam produced at the Neutrino Factory front-end needs to be decreased using ionisation cooling. The current baseline cooling lattice for the Neutrino Factory, FSIIA, achieves acceptable muon transmission and transverse emittance reduction. However, recent studies indicate that high magnetic field at the position of the RF cavities may limit their maximum...

After production and acceleration in an accelerator complex consisting of a rapid cycling synchrotron, the CERN PS and the CERN SPS, the radioactive isotopes are injected into a long racetrack-shaped ring, called the...

The Non Scaling FFAG is the main candidate for the final stage of muon acceleration in the Neutrino Factory according to the IDS-NF baseline. The alternative design for the muon acceleration based on two Non-Scaling FFAGs is studied.

Twenty GeV Neutrino crossing along the Earth by longest base line (CERN-Deep Core or FNL-Deep Core) offer the most powerful tool to test neutrino (muon-tau) mixing masses and angles. An Opera-like experiment at 1% size and flux may lead to a few hundreds events a year of tau appearance or and muon suppression or disappearence. The large (11000 km) distance neutrino flux dilution is widely...

In the framework of the EUROnu design study, a new design for the CERN to Fréjus neutrino beam based on the SPL is under development by the WP2 group.

We consider a model where sterile neutrinos can propagate in a large compactified extra dimension giving rise to Kaluza-Klein (KK) modes and the Standard Model left-handed neutrinos are confined to a 4-dimensional spacetime brane. The KK modes mix with the standard neutrinos modifying their oscillation pattern. To set limits on and estimate sensitivities to the size of the largest extra...

We study the constraints imposed by neutrino oscillation experiments on the minimal extensions of the Standard Model (SM) with $n_R$ gauge singlet fermions ("right-handed neutrinos"), that can account for neutrino masses.

For this purpose, we compute the nuclear matrix elements as functions of the mass of the mediating fermions and estimate the...

We study neutrino oscillation taking into account the interaction with environment where open quantum system approach is rigorously used. This changes the usual pattern of oscillation because decoherence and relaxation effects can occur in the subsystem of neutrinos. These dissipative effects are added with only one phenomenological parameter constrained by complete positivity evolution. In...

The phenomenon of neutrino flavor oscillations is now well‐established. Mixing among the three flavors is characterized by three mixing angles, with $\theta_{13}$ being the only presently unknown angle. A precise measurement of $\theta_{13}$ can be made by utilizing a powerful nuclear reactor as the anti‐neutrino source, going deep underground to reduce the background, and building "identical"...

We consider the ability of T2K and NOvA experiments to determine

Given the relatively high lower limit sin**2(2*theta13) >
0.03 set by T2K, it is worth exploring this problem. The
numu ---> nue oscillation probability depends
on the three (until now) unknown parameters theta13,
deltaCP and neutrino mass hierarchy. Now that...

In this talk, I will discuss the baseline and energy optimization of the Neutrino Factory including the latest simulation results on the magnetized iron detector (MIND). We find that in case of small $\theta_{13}$, baselines of about 2500 to 5000 km is the optimal choice for the CP violation measurement with $E_{\mu}$ as low as 12 GeV can be considered. However, for large $\theta_{13}$, we...

The New Physics which induces dimension eight Non-Standard neutrino Interactions should arise at a mass scale below a few TeV. We explore potential collider signals of such New Physics.

In neutral current (NC) neutrino scattering off nucleus, protons and neutrons contribute almost equally to the cross section (44 and 56%, respectively). To detect the NC interactions one observes the knockout protons or the secondary interactions of neutrons. However, the gamma-rays, produced in de-excitation of residual nucleus, may provide an additional signal for detection of...
