Prof. Makoto Sasaki (Institute for Cosmic Ray Research)05/08/2015, 14:00NU-EXOral contributionAshra is a project to build an unconventional optical telescope complex that images a very wide field of view (FOV), covering 77% of the sky, yet with the angle resolution of a few arcmin, with the use of image intensifier and CMOS technology. The project primarily aims to observe Cherenkov and fluorescence light from air-shower developments. It can also be used to monitor optical transients...Go to contribution page

Roger Wendell (The University of Tokyo)05/08/2015, 14:15NU-EXOral contributionSpanning several orders of magnitude in both neutrino energy and path length, atmospheric neutrinos are a versatile probe of both standard and exotic mixing scenarios. Indeed, recent measurements of $\theta_{13}$ by reactor antineutrino experiments have opened up the possibility to observe the effect of the earth's matter on neutrino oscillations and to subsequently determine the neutrino...Go to contribution page

Yuuki Nakano (Kamioka Observatory)05/08/2015, 14:30NU-EXOral contributionSuper-Kamiokande (SK), a 50 kton water Cherenkov detector in Japan, observes $^{8}$B solar neutrinos with neutrino-electron elastic scattering. SK searches for distortions of the solar neutrino energy spectrum caused by the edge of the MSW resonance in the core of the sun. It also searches for a day/night solar neutrino flux asymmetry induced by the matter in the Earth. The installation...Go to contribution page

Alexis Coleiro (Université Paris Diderot)05/08/2015, 14:45NU-EXOral contributionThe Galactic center hosts several types of high energy sources that are potential transient neutrino emitters. A time dependent analysis based on the ANTARES data is carried out with the aim of detecting high energy neutrinos temporally connected with bursts in the electromagnetic spectrum of objects located close to the Galactic center. This approach, more sensitive than a time-integrated...Go to contribution page

Euan Richard (Tokyo University)05/08/2015, 15:15NU-EXOral contributionMeasurements of the atmospheric neutrino flux have been performed using Super-Kamiokande, a 22.5 kton fiducial-volume water-Cherenkov detector located in the Mozumi mine in Japan. Beginning operation in 1996, the detector has the world's highest statistics for observation of neutrinos originating from cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere, which may be compared to the predictions...Go to contribution page

Damien DORNIC (CPPM)05/08/2015, 15:30NU-EXOral contributionANTARES is currently the largest neutrino telescope operating in the Northern Hemisphere, aiming at the detection of high-energy neutrinos from astrophysical sources. By design, neutrino telescopes constantly monitor at least one complete hemisphere of the sky and are thus well set to detect neutrinos produced in transient astrophysical sources. The flux of high-energy neutrinos from...Go to contribution page

Marius Wallraff (RWTH Aachen University)05/08/2015, 15:45NU-EXOral contributionThe IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a 1 km$^3$ Cherenkov detector located at the geographic South Pole. It records several tens of thousands of identified atmospheric muon neutrino events per year and has proven to be suitable for the measurement of muon neutrino disappearance due to oscillations. Using similar methods, IceCube allows the search for additional sterile neutrino states with mass...Go to contribution page
