  1. 369. Particle Physics with Astrophysical Neutrino Detectors
    Prof. Kara Hoffman (UMD)

    Neutrino Physics
    The search for astrophysical neutrinos has given rise to a new generation of neutrino telescopes of an unprecedented scale, including IceCube, ANTARES and ANITA. While these instruments are, first and foremost, astronomical observatories, they also occupy a unique niche in the field of particle physics. These detectors may offer a glimpse of high energy neutrinos that reach us over...

  2. 364. Testing Neutrino Physics with Colliders
    Dr Anupama Atre (Fermilab)

    Neutrino Physics
    The Majorana nature of neutrinos can be experimentally verified only via lepton-number violating processes involving charged leptons. The unambiguous signal of Majorana neutrinos can be probed in many low energy experiments such as study of beta decay spectra, accelerator based experiments such as decays of taus and mesons and collider experiments with direct production and decay. These decays...

  3. 3. Magnetic Moment of Neutrino in Hot and Dense Medium

    Neutrino Physics
    A massive neutrino can couple with the external magnetic field through its mass. A massive neutrino has a very tiny magnetic moment and is extremely insignificant for astrophysics and cosmology. However, the finite temperature and density effects of the background increase the magnetic moment of neutrino to a desired value. We compare the background effect on the magnetic moment of neutrino...

    Neutrino Physics
    Mark Pitt, Virginia Tech, on behalf of the LENS Collaboration The Low-Energy Neutrino Spectroscopy (LENS) experiment is designed to precisely measure in real time the spectral flux of the low energy solar neutrinos (pp, $^7$Be, pep, and CNO, comprising > 99% of the solar neutrino flux) via charged-current capture on indium-115 (with a threshold of 114 keV). LENS will allow a comparison...

  5. 136. Gadolinium study for a water Cherenkov detector
    Atsuko Kibayashi (Okayama University)

    Neutrino Physics
    Modification of large water Cherenkov detectors by addition of gadolinium has been proposed. The large cross section for neutron capture on Gd will greatly improve the sensitivity to antielectron neutrinos from supernovae and reactors. A five-year project to build and develop a prototype detector based on Super-Kamiokande (SK) has been approved. We are performing various studies, including a...
