After a decade of fruitful datataking, the T2K near detector ND280 is scheduled for upgrade. The new setup includes three detector systems utilizing novel technologies: an active fine-grained plastic scintillator target (SuperFGD) with two TPCs above and below it to cover the region of large scattering angles and six planes of the time-of-flight (TOF) detector that enclose the entire setup....
The Hyper-Kamiokande (HK) experiment will detect neutrinos produced at an upgraded 1.3 MW J-PARC 30 GeV accelerator with a new water Cherenkov detector that is 8 times larger than Super-Kamiokande. This will allow HK to accumulate neutrino events 20 times faster than the currently operating T2K experiment. To take advantage of the high statistics HK will collect, systematic uncertainties on...
DUNE is a dual-site experiment for long-baseline neutrino oscillation studies, neutrino astrophysics and nucleon decay searches. The Far Detector will consist of four 10 kton fiducial mass LAr TPCs. The dual phase (DP) technology, in which the charge is extracted, amplified, and detected in gaseous argon above the liquid, is foreseen for one of these modules. It allows a fine readout pitch, a...
One of the primary physics goals of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is the detection of neutrinos produced in explosions of core-collapse supernovae. These neutrinos, with an energy range from a few to a few tens of MeV, are uniquely suited to characterize the detailed features of the supernovae and to search for non-standard interactions from neutrino mixing in extreme...
Neutrinoless double beta decay (0$\nu\beta\beta$) search is an only-one realistic experiment for the Majorana neutrino test (neutrino = anti-neutrino). Some experiments have already set the lower limit on the half-life of 0$\nu\beta\beta$ as 10$^{\rm 25 - 26}$ years, however, the future high sensitivity search experiment need scalability and background rejection methods.
We propose a xenon...
LEGEND is a proposed ton-scale $^{76}$Ge-based neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) experimental program with discovery potential at a half-life greater than $10^{28}$ years. The first 200-kg phase (LEGEND-200) is currently under construction and detector installation at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory (Laboratori Nazionale del Gran Sasso, LNGS) will start in 2020. With a...
The GERDA experiment reached the most stringent limit for the neutrinoless double-beta decay in $^{76}$Ge. A median sensitivity of $1.1\cdot10^{26}$ years and a lower half-life limit of $0.9\cdot10^{26}$ years (90% C.L.) were achieved with a background index of $5.6^{+3.4}_{-2.4}\cdot10^{-4}$ cts/(keV kg yr). This low background rate was obtained by a combination of pulse shape discrimination...
The next-generation experiment JUNO, expected to begin operation in 2021, will advance the capability of reactor neutrino experiments to determine neutrino mass ordering and precisely measure several neutrino mixing parameters. JUNO also has rich physics programs on supernova-neutrinos, solar-neutrinos, geo-neutrinos, proton decays and exotic searches. JUNO has one 20-kton liquid-scintillator...
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, located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy, consists of an array of 988 TeO$_2$ crystals operated as cryogenic bolometers at 10 mK. The construction of the experiment...
