Prospects, Design and Status of JUNO
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20 kton multi-purpose liquid scintillator detector currently being built in a dedicated underground laboratory in Jiangmen (PR China). Data taking is expected to start in 2021. JUNO’ s main physics goal is the determination of the neutrino mass ordering using electron anti-neutrinos from two nuclear...
Nonlocal quantum correlations do not allow communication, but Einstein called them “spooky action at a distance”. The “counterfactual quantum communication” (CQC) of Salih et al. [1] is spookier: Bob can send information to Alice without any physical particle traveling between them! We demonstrate, however, what Salih et al. [1] overlooked: a locally conserved current carries the...
Abstract: Telescope Array (TA) is a cosmic ray detector in the Northern hemisphere that measures extraterrestrial particles of energies ranging from 10$^{15.4}$ to 10$^{20}$ eV and higher. The main TA is a hybrid detector that consists of an array of scintillation counters, which effectively cover a 700 km$^{2}$ area on the ground that is overlooked by three fluorescence detector stations. TA...
We will discuss the sensitivity of running Baksan Experiment on Sterile Transitions (BEST) to 1-eV-mass sterile neutrinos. The latter were suggested as possible explanations of several anomalies in neutrino oscillation experiments.
The SHiP Collaboration has proposed a general-purpose experimental facility operating in beam dump mode at the CERN SPS accelerator with the aim of searching for light, long-lived exotic particles of Hidden Sector models. The SHiP experiment incorporates a muon shield based on magnetic sweeping and two complementary apparatuses. The detector immediately downstream of the muon shield is...
Arguments on the direct detection of Dark Matter particles in the galactic halo will be addressed. Recent results, implications and experimental perspectives will be discussed.
The presence of a non-baryonic dark matter (DM) component in the Universe is inferred from the observation of its gravitational interaction. If dark matter interacts weakly with the Standard Model (SM) it could be produced at the LHC. The ATLAS experiment has developed a broad search program for DM candidates. The results of recent searches on 13 TeV pp data, their interplay and ...
