PTOLEMY aims to measure the lowest neutrino mass by resolving the ฮฒ-decay endpoint of tritium. A demonstrator, currently under construction at LNGS, will rely on amassing a solid-state source of atomic tritium; a cyclotron radiation-based background suppression system; a novel, compact EM filter; and an O(50meV)-precision spectrometer. PTOLEMY faces many novel technical challenges, and an...
Plastic scintillator detectors with 3D granularity and sub-nanosecond time resolution offer simultaneous particle tracking, identification, and calorimetry. However, achieving fine segmentation at scale remains a major challenge due to high manufacturing costs, extended production timelines, and stringent precision requirements. To overcome these barriers, the 3DET R&D collaboration has...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment with the primary goal of measuring the mass hierarchy and CP-violating phase. Neutrinos will be measured at two detector facilities, namely a Near Detector (ND) located at Fermilab close to where the neutrino beam is produced by the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) and a Far...
T2K is a long-baseline experiment measuring neutrino and antineutrino oscillations by observing the disappearance of muon neutrinos, as well as the appearance of electron neutrinos, over a long 295km distance. The ND280 near detector at J-PARC plays a crucial role to minimise the systematic uncertainties related to the neutrino flux and neutrino-nucleus cross-sections as it measures the...
The off-axis magnetic near detector of the T2K experiment has recently completed a significant upgrade, including the construction and installation of two new Time Projection Chambers (TPC) equipped with innovative resistive Micromegas technology and a field cage composed of thin composite walls. In this presentation, we will give an overview of the design and key features of the new TPCs,...
Resistive Plate Chambers are gaseous detectors extensively used in several domains of Physics given their excellent time and space resolution.
When operated in avalanche mode they make use of a high-performance high- Global Warming Potential gas mixture based on C2H2F4 and SF6, both fluorinated greenhouse components.
The RPC ECOGas@GIF++ Collaboration is carrying on an intense R&D...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will utilize liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) technology to address key questions in neutrino physics, such as CP violation and the neutrino mass ordering. The Phase II Far Detector modules will employ vertical drift single-phase LArTPCs with an active volume of 13โฏm ร 13โฏm ร 60โฏm and dual anode planes. We propose a novel photon...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a dual-site experiment for long-baseline neutrino oscillation studies, capable of resolving the neutrino mass hierarchy and CP-violation. DUNE will also be sensitive to supernova neutrinos and processes beyond the Standard Model. The Far Detector (FD) will consist of four liquid argon TPCs (17 kton each) equipped with systems for detecting...
Hyper-Kamiokande, the next-generation Water-Cherenkov detector, is being prepared to start operation in 2028 to reveal the neutrino properties and to search for nucleon decays.
It utilizes approximately 20,000 newly designed 50-cm PMTs, which are produced by Hamamatsu Photonics as R12860, to detect the Cherenkov light emitted in the inner detector with higher photon detection efficiency,...
The Water Cherenkov Test Experiment (WCTE) at CERN is designed to test various technologies and techniques related to water Cherenkov detectors, which may later be implemented in the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment. WCTE consists of 97 multi-PMT photosensors placed in a water tank (~3.8โฏm in diameter, ~3.6โฏm in height, total water mass ~41โฏtonnes). Each multi-PMT contains nineteen 3" PMTs and...
The upcoming Hyper-Kamiokande experiment is a next-generation water Cherenkov experiment which will be based in Japan. Hyper-K aims to make precision measurements of CP-violation and other neutrino oscillation parameters, atmospheric and solar neutrinos, supernova neutrinos, and proton decay.

The Tokai-to-Kamiokande (T2K) experiment is a long-baseline neutrino experiment based in Japan. T2K obtained results that disfavour CP conservation with a 90% confidence level so far.

Precision measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters in the Tokai to Kamioka (T2K) long-baseline neutrino experiment require a robust and accurate understanding of neutrinoโnucleus interactions.

Hyper-Kamiokande will start collecting accelerator neutrino data in 2028 to search for leptonic CP violation. The largest systematic uncertainty, $\Delta (\sigma_{{\nu}_e}/\sigma_{\bar{\nu}_e})$, is related to the ratio between the electron neutrino and antineutrino cross section. A not proper modeling could generate an ambiguous asymmetry in the ratio between the $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_e$ and...
