    The T2K experiment has recently completed the upgrade of its off-axis near detector ND280. Two new gaseous High-Angle Time Projection Chambers (HA-TPCs) have been installed above and below the highly segmented scintillator active target SuperFGD to precisely track particles emitted at large angles with respect to the beam direction. The upgraded setup also includes six new time-of-flight...

    The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) aims to resolve fundamental open questions in neutrino physics, including the neutrino mass ordering and the possible violation of CP symmetry in the lepton sector. Within the DUNE Near Detector complex, the System for on-Axis Neutrino Detection (SAND) will provide continuous on-axis monitoring of the neutrino beam, enabling precise flux...

    Hyper-Kamiokande will start collecting accelerator neutrino data in 2028 to measure the leptonic CP violating phase, $\delta_{CP}$. The largest systematic uncertainty is knowledge of the ratio between the electron neutrino and antineutrino cross sections, $\Delta (\sigma_{{\nu}_e}/\sigma_{\bar{\nu}_e})$. Improper modeling could generate an ambiguous asymmetry in any measured difference...

    The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation neutrino experiment that will consist of a near detector (ND) complex placed at Fermilab, within a kilometre of the neutrino production point, and a larger far detector (FD) to be built in the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF), approximately 1300 km away. DUNE will record neutrino interactions from an...

    Hyper-Kamiokande is a next-generation large-scale water Cherenkov detector under construction in Japan. The far detector will provide nearly an order of magnitude more fiducial mass than Super-Kamiokande and will be equipped with high-efficiency photodetectors and upgraded calibration systems. With cavern excavation completed in summer 2025, the project is progressing towards tank construction...

    The Hyper Kamiokande (HyperK) experiment is a next generation neutrino oscillation experiment which aims to difinitively answer the question of whether neutrino oscillations violate CP symmetry, among other open questions in neutrino physics. In order to achieve its physics goals, HyperK will require exceptional constraints on uncertainties relating to the modeling of neutrino interactions,...

    Theia is a proposed large-scale neutrino detector with a novel liquid scintillator target and fast, spectrally-sensitive photon detectors, leveraging both the direction resolution of the Cherenkov signal and the remarkable energy resolution and low detection threshold of a scintillator detector. The Theia physics program spans low-energy neutrino physics, such as solar, geo, supernova burst,...

    The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), currently under construction in the US, has a broad physics program that covers topics including oscillation physics at the GeV scale, the search for the proton decay, and the observation of supernova and solar neutrinos. The DUNE far detector is based on the technology of the Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC), that allows for a 3D...

    Event reconstruction in large liquid scintillator neutrino detectors, such as SNO+, rely on hit times from large numbers of photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). We demonstrate a novel method to extract PMT calibration timing constants from physics data using the machinery of unsupervised deep learning. The approach uses a simplified physical model of optical photon transport in the loss function with...

    BUTTON is a testbed to investigate potential technologies for hybrid neutrino detection utilising both scintillation and Cherenkov light. It will be used to explore the capabilities of different fill media including Gd-doped water, Water Based Liquid Scintillator (WbLS) and Gd-WbLS. It has also been designed with the flexibility to allow for future testing of advanced photosensors, such as...

    There is a long history of discoveries and measurements in neutrino physics made by Cherenkov and scintillation-based neutrino detectors. A hybrid detector capable of utilizing both the prompt directional Cherenkov light and the low-threshold scintillation light would greatly improve background rejection and provide world-leading sensitivity to a broad range of neutrino physics topics. Eos is...

    Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers are among the leading detector technologies for neutrino physics, covering a wide energy range from the MeV to the GeV scale.
    The SoLAr collaboration is developing a pixelated, dual-readout anode combining charge collection pads and photodetectors sensitive to LAr scintillation light.
    This presentation describes the design, construction and operation of...

    In modern physics, the mysterious nature of neutrinos remains largely unexplored, leading physicists to a multitude of theories and new experiments aimed at investigating their properties. For this reason, there is a strong motivation to develop innovative techniques which will employ new technologies for further study.
    The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a prominent future...
