Working Group 1+5: Sterile Neutrino Searches
- Jaehoon Yu
JSNS2 experiment is a sterile neutrino experiment being prepared at J-PARC MLF beam line. The experiment directly tests the LSND sterile neutrino result using the same neutrino (muon decay at rest) and the same detection reaction (inverse beta decay), yet much better S/N ratio, statistics and energy resolution. The group is now constructing the detector aiming at starting the data taking soon....
Three-flavor neutrino oscillations have successfully explained a wide range of neutrino oscillation data. However, the excess of events as seen by the LSND and MiniBooNE experiments and the deficit of events seen at the GALLEX and SAGE experiments when exposed to a calibration source can be interpreted as short-baseline neutrino oscillations consistent with the existence of a sterile neutrino...
The IceCube neutrino observatory is a cubic km neutrino telescope located at the geographic South Pole and can detect neutrinos with energies up to a few PeV. DeepCore is an infill array of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory that lowers the detectable energies of neutrinos to as low as 5 GeV. This wide range of atmospheric neutrinos allow for a broad range of particle physics, from measuring...
