T2K is a long-baseline off axis neutrino experiment producing world leading neutrino oscillation measurements using the neutrino beam produced at J-PARC. It consists of two key detectors: the near detector, ND280, located 280 meters downstream from the source, and the far detector, Super-Kamiokande, located 295 km away from the source. The near detector primarily constrains the properties of...
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is under construction, and represents a major breakthrough on the large-scale, high-precision liquid scintillator (LS) detector. Its primary physics goal is to determine the neutrino mass ordering (NMO), where the predominant sensitivity is from reactor neutrinos, while atmospheric neutrinos collected in JUNO can provide independent inputs....
The experimental observation of the phenomena of neutrino oscillations, which essentially confirms non-zero masses of neutrinos, has opened a new sector to explore physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). The models describing new-physics phenomena often come with some unknown interactions of neutrinos termed as Non Standard Interactions (NSIs). It is highly important and interesting to explore...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation long-baseline neutrino experiment currently under construction in the US. The experiment consists of a broadband neutrino beam from Fermilab to the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota, a high-precision near detector, and a large liquid argon time-projection chamber (LArTPC) far detector. Two...
In the current epoch of neutrino physics, many experiments are aiming for precision measurements of oscillation parameters. Thus, various new physics scenarios which alter the neutrino oscillation probabilities in matter deserve careful investigation. Recent results from NOvA and T2K show a slight tension on their reported values of the CP violating phase $\delta_{CP}$. Since the baseline of...
The DsTau experiment at CERN-SPS has been proposed to measure an inclusive differential cross-section of a Ds production with a consecutive decay to tau lepton in p-A interactions. A precise measurement of the tau neutrino cross section would enable a search for new physics effects such as testing the Lepton Universality (LU) of Standard Model in neutrino interactions. The detector is...
MicroBooNE is an 85 tonne active mass liquid argon time projection chamber that uses the same mainly-muon-neutrino beamline as the MiniBooNE experiment. One of the main motivations when the experiment was proposed was to investigate the “low energy excess” (LEE) of electromagnetic (EM) shower events observed by the MiniBooNE experiment, which could not be explained by standard three-flavor...
The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment was designed with the primary goal of precisely measuring the neutrino mixing parameter, $\theta_{13}$. Eight identically-designed gadolinium-doped liquid scintillator detectors installed in three underground experimental halls measure the reactor antineutrinos from six nuclear reactors at different distances. Until its shutdown at the end of 2020, Daya...
NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment based at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, USA. Utilizing two functionally-identical liquid scintillator tracking calorimeters placed 810 km apart, NOvA observes the appearance of electron (anti)neutrinos and the disappearance of muon (anti)neutrinos in the muon (anti)neutrino-dominated NuMI beam. By observing these...
Hyper-Kamiokande (HK) is the next generation water Cherenkov detector being constructed in Japan, following in the footsteps of the very successful Kamiokande, Super-Kamiokande and T2K experiments. The Hyper-Kamiokande far detector (260 kton) is planned to be instrumented with 20,000 50 cm diameter photomultiplier tubes (PMT) and about 2,000 multi-PMT optical sensors (each containing 19 7.6 cm...
