  1. 76. Neutrino Oscillations and Dark Matter in IceCube
    Melanie Day (IceCube)
    02/12/2014, 17:00
    The IceCube detector is the world's largest neutrino observatory, a 1 km$^{3}$ array of photomultipliers buried in the ice at the geographic South Pole. With the addition of the DeepCore in-fill, IceCube is sensitive to physics down the the ~10 GeV range. Current studies of neutrino oscillations and dark matter in DeepCore will be discussed. Also I will discuss the proposed in-fill extension,...

  2. 93. On the flavor composition of the high-energy neutrinos in IceCube
    Sergio Palomares-Ruiz (IFIC-Valencia)
    02/12/2014, 17:30
    The IceCube experiment has recently released 3 years of data of the first ever detected high-energy ($> 30$ TeV) neutrinos, which are consistent with an extraterrestrial origin. In this talk, I will discuss the compatibility of the observed track-to-shower ratio with possible combinations of neutrino flavors and its implications.

  3. 47. Neutrino mass hierarchy determination with PINGU
    Antonio Marrone (Univ. of Bari)
    02/12/2014, 18:10
    This work is being performed in collaboration with E. Lisi (INFN, Bari, Italy) and F. Capozzi (U. of Bari, Italy). The proposed PINGU experiment (Precision IceCube Next Generation Upgrade) will study low energy atmospheric neutrinos and it will allow to probe the neutrino mass hierarchy, after 3-5 years of data taking. It will also be sensitive to the theta_23 octant and it will help to...

  4. 121. Measurement of the neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ with the Double Chooz detector
    Michael Franke
    02/12/2014, 18:40
    The $\theta_{13}$ parameter of the PMNS mixing matrix remained unknown until first hints and estimates by both Double Chooz and beam experiments in 2011. The Double Chooz reactor antineutrino experiment aims for a precise measurement of this parameter. Located at the Chooz nuclear power plant in France, it relies on a two identical detector measurement, canceling most of systematic...

  5. 60. On the origin of neutrino oscillations through Lorentz violation
    Julio Leite
    02/12/2014, 19:10
    We propose Lorentz invariance violating models to study the possibility of dynamical generation of neutrino masses and oscillations. We show that such models are consistent with both Majorana and Dirac neutrinos and that the only observable effects are the dynamical generation of neutrino masses and oscillations.
