The excess in electron recoil events reported recently by the XENON1T experiment may be interpreted as evidence for a sizable transition magnetic moment of Majorana neutrinos. We show the consistency of this scenario when a single component transition magnetic moment takes values ϵ (1.65 - 3.42) × $10^{-11}$ $\mu_B$. Such a large value typically leads to unacceptably large neutrino masses. We...

The neutrino oscillation is the most important discovery for beyond-the-standard-model physics (BSM). We successfully use three mixing angles, two mass-squared differences, and one Dirac-CP phase to describe them.

This leads to variable final state products and thus limit our understanding of fundamental neutrino-nucleus scattering. Neutrino-nuclei interactions and understanding neutrino physics from...

Juan Manuel Franco-Patiño (University of Seville)

Poster

Nuclear effects in neutrino-nucleus scattering is one of the main sources of uncertainty in the analysis of neutrino oscillation experiments. At present most of these studies have been focused on inclusive scattering processes where only the scattered lepton is detected in the final state. This implies, due to the extended neutrino energy distribution (flux), that very different reaction...

The value of leptonic CP violation phase $\delta_{CP}$ and neutrino mass hierarchy are two of the current major open problems in neutrino oscillation physics. The quest to find the former is spearheaded by various accelerator-based long-baseline neutrino experiments sensitive to $\delta_{CP}$. It is known that hierarchy-$\delta_{CP}$ ambiguity can affect the measurement of both parameters, and...

Poster

In models where the Standard Model is extended by Majorana fermions, interference effects due to the presence of
CP violating phases have been shown to play a crucial role in lepton number violating processes.
However, important interference effects can also arise in lepton number conserving, but charged lepton flavour violating (cLFV) transitions and decays.
In this work we show that in...

Poster

Neutrino oscillation experiments running at low to medium neutrino beam energies usually select "quasi-elastic" neutrino interactions, because they have an easily recognized signature and permit reasonably good neutrino energy reconstruction. Based on generic, simplified Monte-Carlo and oscillation tools, we discuss how the addition of "single pion production" (resonance) interactions could...

In this work, we study the effect of vector leptoquark $U_3$ which can induce nonstandard interactions (NSIs) between the propagating neutrinos and the nucleons within the earth. These interactions lead to relatively large values of NSI parameter $\varepsilon_{e \mu}$ and $\varepsilon_{e \tau}$. In this context, we show that the current discrepancy between the observed $\delta_{CP}$ results...
