The NEMO3 detector is a currently running double beta decay experiment in Modane underground laboratory in France. Neodymium-150 is one of the 7 double beta decay isotopes in NEMO3. This work presents a precise measurement of the two neutrino double beta decay half-life of Neodymium-150 and also limits on the half-life of the different neutrinoless modes of this isotope.

We perform a quantitative study of neutrino phenomenology in the framework of minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) with grand unified theory (GUT)-scale tri-linear lepton number violation. The difficulties in obtaining the observed neutrino mass pattern are discussed, and we show that numerical fits are possible using two GUT scale lepton number violating parameters and three charged lepton mixing...

The SciBooNE experiment is the newest neutrino experiment to be built at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL), USA. The detector sits on-axis, 100 metres downstream of the target in the Booster Neutrino Beam-line.
Proposed in 2005, SciBooNE began its data run in June 2007 with completion projected for August 2008.
SciBooNE has a number of measurement goals, principally sub-GeV...

MINOS is a long baseline neutrino experiment that sends a beam of muon neutrinos from the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory to a Far Detector in Minnesota 735 km away. MINOS will be able to improve the limit on the neutrino mixing angle theta13 by searching for electron neutrino appearance resulting from the subdominant oscillation of muon neutrinos. This analysis will be discussed.

Measurements of two flavor $\nu_{\mu}$ disappearance were made using K2K, the KEK
to Kamioka long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, data for
three fiducial volume definitions at the far detector,
Super-Kamiokande. A study was conducted on expanding the fiducial
volume at Super-Kamiokande to show it is possible to expand it both
symmetrically and shifted in the incoming neutrino...

EURECA is a proposed dark matter experiment which will use cryogenic detector technology pioneered by the CRESST and EDELWEISS projects. This will use up to 1 tonne absorber mass made from multiple materials to search for the elastic scattering of neutralino WIMPs with a cross section down to 10^{-10}pb. The CRESST experiment is currently running. It will search down to 10^{-8}pb and provides...
