206. KM3NeT/ORCA: Neutrino oscillation studies in the deep sea

Mr Steffen Hallmann (ECAP, Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg)

Oral

ORCA is the low-energy branch of KM3NeT, the next-generation Cherenkov neutrino observatory under construction in the Mediterranean Sea. A dense configuration of optical modules is foreseen to detect neutrinos down to a few GeV energy. The detector will be able to accurately reconstruct and distinguish two event topologies: track-like signatures from mostly $\nu_\mu$ charged current...

201. Search for neutrinoless double beta decay with GERDA

Ms Chloe Ransom (University of Zurich)

Oral

The GERmanium Detector Array (GERDA) collaboration searches for the hypothetical lepton number violating process neutrinoless double beta decay of Germanium-76 by operating 35 kg of enriched germanium diodes acting as both source and detector. The detectors are operated directly in liquid argon, which acts both as a coolant and as background shielding. Since the start of Phase II in 2015, the...

194. First result on the neutrinoless double beta decay of Se-82 with CUPID-0

Lorenzo Pagnanini (GSSI - Gran Sasso Science Institute)

Oral

CUPID-0 is the first large array of enriched scintillating ZnSe cryogenic calorimeters implementing active particle identification. The detector consists of an array of 24 ZnSe crystals enriched in $^{82}$Se and two natural ZnSe crystals for a total mass of 10.5 kg installed in a dilution refrigerator hosted at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso.
The heat-light readout exploited in...

195. The ENUBET neutrino beam

Anselmo Meregaglia (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (FR))

Oral

ENUBET has been designed to monitor lepton production in the decay tunnel of neutrino beams at single particle level and to provide a 1% measurement of the neutrino flux at source. In particular, the three body semileptonic decay of kaons monitored by large angle positron production offers a fully controlled $\nu_e$ source at the GeV scale for a new generation of short baseline experiments....
