In the past few years it has become clear that nuclear effects impose significant uncertainties on precision measurements in neutrino physics of the few GeV energy region.
A number of convoluted effects in the nuclear model, affecting both the initial nucleon momentum spectrum and intranuclear hadronic transport, result in different interaction types giving the same hadronic final state and...

The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR is a low-background array of approximately 40 kg of germanium detectors searching for neutrinoless double-beta (0nbb) decay in germanium-76, deployed 4,850 feet underground at the Sanford Underground Laboratory in Lead, South Dakota, USA. Our primary objective is to demonstrate background levels low enough to justify constructing a ton-scale experiment with the same...

The MAJORANA Collaboration is seeking neutrinoless double-beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) using an array of P-type point contact (PPC) high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors isotopically enriched in $^{76}$Ge. For inverted hierarchy neutrinos, a tonne-scale array with backgrounds of $<1$ ct/ROI-t-y in the 4 keV region of interest (ROI) around the 2039 keV Q-value for double-beta decay in...

EDELWEISS-III is a direct dark matter search program looking for WIMPs using cryogenic germanium bolometers. A system of electrodes produces a homogeneous electric field in the inner region of the germanium crystals. The simultaneous readout of the heat increase and the ionization signal from scattered particles allows the discrimination of germanium nuclei recoils from electron recoils. For a...

A neutral vector boson, dubbed shadow $Z'$, which stems from a hidden $U(1)_s$ gauge sector can weakly couple
to the standard model fermions through the kinematic mixing between the $U(1)_s$ and the hypercharge $U(1)_Y$.
If the shadow $Z'$ is light, $< m_Z$, it can easily evade all collider constraint as long as the kinematic mixing
term is small. We study the feasibility of probing...

High energy muons produced in cosmic ray showers create radioactive elements in otherwise radiopure materials via spallation and neutron capture. Such cosmogenics are an important backgrounds in low energy searches. The SNO+ experiment is searching for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay (0nu) in 130Te, which can be cosmogenically activated. Purification 2km underground at SNOLAB will eliminate...

In the primordial Universe the axion particles, which solve in an elegant way the CP problem in QCD, can be produced both thermally, contributing to the hot dark matter of the Universe, or not thermally, contributing to the cold dark matter.
I will show the recent constraints from cosmology for the thermal axion mass and the total neutrino mass, using the Planck 2015 temperature and polarization data.

The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR is a low-background array of germanium detectors constructed to demonstrate the feasibility of future neutrinoless double-beta decay measurements in $^{76}$Ge. Low-background non-accelerator experiments have unique requirements for their data acquisition and environmental monitoring, which we must consider. Background signals can easily overwhelm the signals of...

The *Mu3e* experiment is designed to search for lepton flavour violation through the $\mu^+\rightarrow e^+e^-e^+$ decay channel with a sensitivity of 1 in $10^{16}$, thus improving by four orders of magnitude the present experimental limit. To achieve such precision we need highly granulated tracking detector complemented by an accurate timing system. The current work offers an introduction to...

NO$\nu$A is a long-baseline experiment that uses the NuMI beam, at Fermilab, to study muon neutrino to electron neutrino oscillations. The experiment is located 14.6 *mrad* off the beam axis which allows access a narrow band of neutrino energies centered at 2 *GeV*. NO$\nu$A is a two-detector experiment with one located underground at Fermilab (Near Detector), and the other one located on the...

A principle is proposed that relates probability to geometry. That principle is then used to motivate the introduction of nonlinear differential operators on spacetime manifolds. Such operators are difficult to handle mathematically, hence a geometric interpretation of the Universal Covering Group for tensors is undertaken. The principle can then be understood as equivalent to a Lagrangian of...

The mysterious Galactic Center is an interesting region with frequent flaring activities from the radio to X-ray bands. However, VHE flux always remains steady. In 2012, a gas cloud G2 was discovered to be travelling straight to the GC. It is expected to pass the pericenter in 2014. During pericenter passage, it will be so closed to the GC that it will be completely disintegrated by the black...

We propose that if there is a massive scalar field oscillating at its vacuum during the slow-roll inflation, its settlement will distort the primordial power spectrum from the simple power law. At the scales which exit the Hubble radius during the oscillation, the power of curvature perturbations oscillates on top of the nearly scale-invariant spectrum. Assuming that the last stage of...

The current global analysis of neutrino oscillation experiments shows no significant
information regarding the neutrino mass hierarchy, either normal or inverted. In the near
future, there will be a strong experimental effort to discriminate these hierarchy options.
One of the most promising methods is based on atmospheric neutrino oscillations in matter, e.g. in PINGU (Precision IceCube...

The Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV is suggestive of superpartners at the PeV scale. We show that new physics at this scale can also explain the observed active neutrino masses via a modified, low energy seesaw mechanism and provide a sterile neutrino dark matter candidate with keV-GeV scale mass. These emerge in a straightforward manner if the right-handed neutrinos are charged under a new...

In this talk we'll study the existence of black holes with non-canonical scalar fields as matter source and prove a simple no-hair theorem which rules out the existence of stationary, asymptotically flat black holes possessing scalar hair for a wide class of such models. This applies in particular to K-essence theories like the ghost condensate model, and large sectors of the dilatonic ghost...

This work describes the nucleon final state interaction (FSI) model in NEUT. Nucleon rescattering inside a nucleus can alter the kinematics of outgoing nucleon from a neutrino interaction, therefore understanding nucleon interaction inside nucleus is crucial to be able to acquire precise incident neutrino energy for accurately measuring oscillation parameters. The nucleon scattering Monte...

State of the art components have been produced...

We present a model with universal extra dimensions in the presence of boundary localized kinetic terms for electoroweak gauge bosons. This model can realize that the lightest Kaluza-Klein particle is a mixture of KK $B^{1}$ and KK $W_{3}^{1}$. Depending on boundary localized parameter ($r_{B},r_{W}$) the KK dark matter is more like KK $Z$ or KK photon. We showed current bounds on...

With the latest generation of neutrino-nucleus scattering experiments we are now well within a precision era of neutrino interaction physics. Consequently we now find it increasingly important to develop a more detailed understanding of our nuclear targets. We propose to address this through a set of neutrino scattering measurements on a carbon target at the Tokai to Kamioka (T2K) off-axis...

Neutrinoless double beta decay is a decay mode in which two neutrons are converted
in two protons and two electrons are emitted. This process can take place only if
neutrino is its own antiparticle. Thus it is a unique tool to probe the Majorana
nature of the neutrino. CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events)
aims to detect neutrinoless double beta decay of the...

The SuperNEMO experiment is looking for the neutrinoless double beta decay which, if observed, would prove the Majorana nature of the neutrino. Under the assumption neutrinos are indeed identical to their antiparticles, the detector could not only constrain the effective neutrino mass but also identify precisely the mechanism responsible for the neutrinoless double beta decay among the several...

We study the possibility of detecting dark matter directly via a small but
energetic component that is allowed within present-day constraints. Drawing closely upon
the fact that neutral current neutrino nucleon interactions are indistinguishable from DMnucleon
interactions at low energies, we extend this feature to high energies for a small,
non-thermal but highly energetic population of...
