This talk will cover progress towards understanding the coherence properties of neutrino beams, using an open-quantum-systems approach to neutrino production. A new derivation of the generalized neutrino oscillation probability from arbitrarily prepared pions will be presented, followed by a calculation of the pion state that evolves through electromagnetic interactions with decay pipe gases....

Precise measurement of the neutrino mixing angle theta13 is the primary goal
of the Double Chooz Experiment. Inverse beta decay process provides a unique
signature of anti-neutrino interaction from the reactors, giving prompt
signals from positron annihilation and delayed signals from neutron capture
by either Gadolinium (Gd) or Hydrogen (H). In this talk, the latest Gd- and
H-based...

In this talk the three neutrino framework that describes the standard neutrino oscillations will be briefly introduced enphasizing on the role of the Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment. After the introduction, the Daya Bay power to constraint charge current non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI) will be presented. The impact of the systematical error in the total normalization of the...

We propose a mechanism to reconcile eV sterile Neutrinos, suggested by short baseline experiments, with cosmological mass bounds. New self-interactions are neccessarily introduced for sterile neutrinos to suppress their production in the early Universe.

Recently IceCube experiment has revealed the spectrum of cosmic neutrinos in TeV-PeV range. However, null detection of 400-800 TeV neutrinos disagrees with a power law energy spectrum implied by the others. We interpret this "dip" feature as a hint of neutrino self-interactions. We investigate the possibility that well-motivated U(1)Lmu-Ltau model can explain the feature. We show that future...

We present a model of neutrino masses within the framework of the EW-$\nu_R$ model in which the experimentally desired form of the PMNS matrix is obtained by applying an $A_4$ symmetry to the *Higgs singlet sector* responsible for the neutrino Dirac mass matrix. This mechanism naturally avoids potential conflict with the LHC data which severely constrains the Higgs sector, in particular the...

With the heavy Standard Model (SM) singlet neutrinos, the (inverse) seesaw mechanism
provides us with a natural way to incorporate the neutrino mass in the SM.
If the heavy neutrinos have their mass of the electroweak scale, they can be
produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) through their mixing with the SM light neutrinos.
We investigate the heavy neutrino production processes at the...

We discuss the future prospects of heavy neutrino searches at future lepton colliders. In particular, we focus on the planned electron-positron colliders, operating in two different beam modes, namely, $e^+e^-$ and $e^-e^-$. In the $e^+e^-$ beam mode, we consider various production and decay modes of the heavy neutrino ($N$), and find that the final state with $e+2j+\not{\!E}$, arising from...
