Parallel Session Neutrinos

Precision measurements of neutrino oscillation probabilities require an improved understanding of neutrino-nucleus interactions. MINERvA is a neutrino scattering experiment at Fermilab that utilizes the intense neutrino beam from the NuMI beam-line and a finely segmented scintillator based tracking detector to measure neutrino cross sections on various nuclear targets. MINERvA has published...
The observation of neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay would prove lepton number violation and would shed light onto the nature of neutrinos. The GERDA experiment is aiming to perform a background free search for this process in $^{76}$Ge by operating isotopically enriched high purity Germanium detectors bare in liquid argon. Phase II of the experiment combines for the first time...
A review of the theory and phenomenology of neutrino electromagnetic properties is presented. A massive neutrino even in the easiest generalization of the Standard Model inevitably has nonzero electromagnetic characteristics, at least nonzero magnetic moment. Although its value, determined by the neutrino mass, is very small, in other BSM theories, as for example the supersymmetric models,...
