35. Tackling Sterile Neutrino Global Fits with Simulation-Based Inference

Joshua Villarreal

15/05/2025, 09:00

Neutrino experiments across diverse production and detection methods, baselines, and energy ranges have observed anomalies hinting at beyond-Standard Model physics. These unexplained appearances and disappearances could stem from oscillations into sterile neutrino states. Global fits—combined statistical analyses of multiple experiments—are essential for probing such models. However, even in...

5. ArCS: A Magnetized Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber for Neutrino Physics and Beyond

Dr Marco Del Tutto (Fermilab)

Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LArTPCs) have revolutionized neutrino physics with their exceptional imaging and calorimetric capabilities. However, the lack of a magnetic field limits their ability to distinguish particle charge and measure momentum through curvature. ArCS (Argon detector with Charge Separation) presents an experimental program to demonstrate the operation of a...

3. Detecting CEvNS on germanium

Janina Dorin Hakenmueller (Duke University), TBD

Coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering (CEvNS) is the interaction of the neutrino with the nucleus as a whole. A coherent interaction is achieved for neutrinos with energies less than 50 MeV as can be found at the spallation neutron source (SNS) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and at nuclear reactors. CEvNS is detected by registering the tiny recoil of the nucleus that the...
