The 10 ton liquid argon (LAr) scintillation detector Coherent CAPTAIN-
Mills, at the LANSCE facility of the Los Alamos National Laboratory,
sits at a distance of 23 m from the core of the Lujan Center spallation
source, which is a copious source of neutrinos from stopped pions, as
well as, possibly, new particles belonging to a hypothetical Dark Sector
of particle physics. Besides...
The deep underground neutrino experiment (DUNE) is a neutrino observatory and nucleon decay detector under construction, designed to give answers to modern physics problems like: the neutrino hierarchy and matter-antimatter asymmetry. To do that, in DUNE will be possible to perform precise measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters, in addition DUNE will be able to detect and measure...
The NOvA experiment studies the disappearance of muon (anti)neutrinos and the appearance of electron (anti)neutrinos to measure the parameters governing the oscillation of neutrinos at the so-called atmospheric sector. Thanks to the long distance travelled by the neutrinos through the earth, NOvA can also explore the effects of possible Non-Standard Interactions with matter. Here I present the...
Modeling neutrino final state interactions with target nuclei within neutrino detectors is an open research field. Experiments such as MINERvA, T2K and NOvA found discrepancies on their simulations with their data, which implies that the current theoretical models are not encoding the full physics of the interactions. In particular, long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments are currently...
Recent results from neutrino experiments studying neutrino interactions show that final state interactions are not fully explained by current theoretical models. In this regard, pion production in final state interactions is at the center of the discrepancies between theoretical models and experimental data. Hence, a characterization based on data of pion production and interactions in...

PROSPECT is a reactor antineutrino experiment consisting of a 4-ton liquid scintillator antineutrino detector divided into an 11x14 array of optically separated segments. The detector was designed to probe the existence of sterile neutrino oscillations and precisely measure the antineutrino spectrum resulting from 235U fission....
