KM3NeT is a distributed research infrastructure in the Mediterranean Sea that will host a gigaton-scale neutrino telescope (ARCA) for high-energy neutrino astronomy, and a megaton-scale detector (ORCA) for neutrino oscillation studies with atmospheric neutrinos. ORCA is optimised for determining the neutrino mass ordering (NMO) by observing matter effects in atmospheric neutrino oscillations,...
In recent years, major milestones in neutrino physics were accomplished at nuclear reactors: the smallest neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ was determined with high precision and the emitted anti-neutrino spectrum was measured at unprecedented resolution. However, two anomalies, the first one related to the absolute flux and the second one to the spectral shape, have yet to be solved. The...
The GERDA experiment searches for the neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) of $^{76}$Ge. It uses HPGe detectors enriched in the isotope $^{76}$Ge, which are directly immersed into liquid argon (LAr). In Phase II, the radio-pure cryogenic liquid acts not only as cooling medium for the detectors and passive shielding but also as active shielding. Due to the active veto system...
ABSTRACT: The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is the first bolometric experiment searching for neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) that has been able to reach the one-ton scale. The detector consists of an array of 988 TeO2 crystals arranged in a compact cylindrical structure of 19 towers. The construction of the experiment was completed in August 2016 with the...
The LUMINEU project has recently set up a technology for the development
of high-performance scintillating bolometers containing the nuclide
100Mo, in the framework of the R&D activities towards the proposed
tonne-scale neutrinoless double beta decay experiment CUPID. Using in
particular Li2100MoO4 detectors, high energy resolution (5-6 keV FWHM at
2615 keV), excellent alpha background...
Abstract:
We have continued discussions of neutrino electromagnetic properties [1,2] and have performed a detailed and accurate study [3] of the electromagnetic interactions of massive neutrinos in the theoretical formulation of low-energy elastic neutrino-electron scattering.
Using the derived new expression for a neutrino electromagnetic scattering cross section [3],
we obtained [4] a new...
