We have investigated the origin of high-energy cosmic rays since discovering these particles in 1912. Over more than one hundred years, our knowledge of cosmic rays has been improved immensely. However, as magnetic fields deflect the trajectories of cosmic rays, their sources remain elusive. Neutral particles generated from the interactions of cosmic rays, such as gamma rays and neutrinos, can...
The Hyper-Kamiokande (HK) experiment will study long-baseline neutrino oscillations and search for the CP violation in the lepton sector, following the successful T2K experiment. An upgraded 1.3MW beam produced at J-PARC 30 GeV proton accelertor and a 184 kiloton of the far detector's fiducial mass will be used, resulting in about 20 times higher interaction rate than that of T2K. The CP...
nEXO is a proposed neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) experiment anticipated to be built 2 km underground at SNOLAB. nEXO is expected to reach a half-life sensitivity of $1.35 \times 10^{28}$ years, which requires ultra-low background levels. To achieve this, a water-Cherenkov muon veto, also known as the Outer Detector (OD), surrounds the liquid xenon time projection chamber...
The SNO+ Experiment is a versatile multipurpose neutrino detector situated at SNOLAB, with the primary goal of searching for neutrinoless double beta decay. After a successful operating phase as a water Cherenkov detector, the SNO+ target medium was switched to a liquid scintillator to increase the light yield of the detector, thereby enabling a much richer physics programme. The filling of...
There is currently a lack of experimental measurements supporting model predictions of neutrino-nucleon differential cross section in the energy range between ~300 GeV - 1 TeV. Here we seek to expand this knowledge by measuring the inelasticity of these interactions with IceCube DeepCore. DeepCore is a densely packed sub-array inside the IceCube detector, which allows us to detect and...
