351. Liquid detectors for neutrino detection and rare event searches

Ines Gil Botella (Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas Medioambientales y Tecno)

Invited Talk

Liquid detectors have been used since the 1950s for the discovery of neutrinos and today are widely used in neutrino physics, dark matter searches and astroparticle experiments. These detectors mainly use cryogenic noble liquids, water or liquid scintillators as target medium.

To address fundamental open questions in neutrino physics and rare event searches, more sensitive and larger liquid...

35. The DarkSide 20k experiment construction at LNGS

Dark matter and other low-background experiments

Talk

The DarkSide-20k experiment is the latest generation dual-phase Liquid Argon-TPC hunting for Dark Matter. In particular, its goal is to discover or to extend the current sensitivity limits on the search for WIMP-like particles. This detector brings together the successful concept of the DarkSide-50 detector, and the experience gained on large volume membrane cryostats developed within the DUNE...

177. The SuperFGD for the upgraded T2K Near detector - Operation and performance

Dark matter and other low-background experiments

Talk

After the long construction phase until 2024, we recently started operation of the SuperFGD for the upgraded T2K Near detector. To improve the systematic uncertainty for the neutrino oscillation measurement in the T2K experiment, especially sensitivity to measure the CP violation in the neutrino sector, the SuperFGD plays a key role as a fully active tracking detector with the fine-grained...
