72. Look-elsewhere effect in neutrino oscillation searches

Dr Phillip Litchfield (Imperial College, London)

The look-elsewhere effect is a familiar issue to collider experiments, and occurs, for example, when a search is performed for a new resonance that is not predicted under the null hypothesis. Many searches for sterile neutrinos employ a similar strategy: looking for evidence of oscillation between two active flavours at an unknown mass-squared splitting. As with collider searches, this ...

69. Uncertainty in the Reactor Neutrino Specrum and the Mass Hierarchy Determination

Prof. Emilio Ciuffoli (IMP, CAS)

In the next years reactor neutrino experiments, like JUNO or RENO 50, will attempt to determine the mass hierarchy. There are many problems that need to be overcome to accomplish this task, one of them is the theoretical uncertainty in the spectrum. Indeed, as became clear a few years ago with the measurement of the “5 MeV bump”, the theoretical models that predict the reactor neutrino...
