DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Christian Farnese (INFN Padova)\nThe ICARUS collabor
 ation employed the 760-ton T600 detector in a successful three-year physic
 s run at the underground LNGS laboratories studying neutrino oscillations 
 with the CNGS neutrino beam from CERN\, and searching for atmospheric neut
 rino interactions. ICARUS performed a sensitive search for LSND-like anoma
 lous νe appearance in the CNGS beam\, which contributed to the constraint
 s on the allowed parameters to a narrow region around 1 eV$^2$\, where all
  the experimental results can be coherently accommodated at 90% C.L.  Afte
 r a significant overhaul at CERN\, the T600 detector has been installed at
  Fermilab. In 2020 cryogenic commissioning began with detector cool down\,
  liquid Argon filling and recirculation. ICARUS has started operations and
  is presently in its commissioning phase\, collecting the first neutrino e
 vents from the Booster Neutrino Beam and the NuMI off-axis. The main goal 
 of the first year of ICARUS data taking will then be the definitive verifi
 cation of the recent claim by NEUTRINO-4 short baseline reactor experiment
  both in the $\\nu_\\mu$ channel with the BNB and in the $\\nu_e$ with NuM
 I. After the first year of operations\, ICARUS will commence its search fo
 r evidence of a sterile neutrino jointly with the SBND near detector\, wit
 hin the Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN) program. The ICARUS exposure to the 
 NuMI beam will also give the possibility for other physics studies such as
  light dark matter searches and neutrino-Argon cross section measurements.
  The proposed contribution will address ICARUS achievements\, its status a
 nd plans for the new run at Fermilab and the ongoing developments of the a
 nalysis tools needed to fulfill its physics program.\n\nhttps://indico.ifi

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: YongChang Lee (IBS\, SNU)\nWe developed a simple sma
 ll-scale detection method for beta decay\nspectrum of 3H. This research is
  motivated to investigate the presence\nof sterile neutrinos in keV region
 . In our experiment\, tritium nuclei\nare embedded in a 1x1x1 cm^3 LiF cry
 stal from 6Li(n\,3H)4He reaction.\nThe beta energy spectrum is measured wi
 th an MMC sensor\, one of the\nhigh-resolution microcalorimeters operating
  at mK temperatures. We\npresent the method for the sample preparation and
  the experiment\ntogether with the physics result from the first measureme
 nt set.\nMoreover\, an expected sensitivity to search for the heavy neutri
 no is\ndiscussed for one year measurement with the setup.\n\nhttps://indic

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Jinyu Kim (Institute for Basic Science\, Sejong Univ
 ersity)\nThe NEOS aims to search for sterile neutrinos by detecting reacto
 r antineutrinos at a very short baseline in Korea. The NEOS detector (1 to
 n GdLS) is deployed at the tendon gallery of the Hanbit reactor unit 5 (2.
 8 GW thermal power)\, 24 m away from the reactor core. In NEOS-I\, the pro
 mpt energy spectrum from inverse-beta-decay was measured using 180 days of
  reactor-on data\, where the "5 MeV excess" was clearly observed. To under
 stand the origin of the "5 MeV excess"\, NEOS-II has taken 500 (60) days o
 f reactor-on(-off) data from September 2018 to October 2020\, covering a w
 hole burnup cycle of the reactor. In this talk\, we present a preliminary 
 result on the extraction of the U-235 and Pu-239 prompt energy spectra for
  the whole burnup cycle\, which may shed light on the origin of the "5MeV 
 excess".\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/6178/contributions/15704/

SUMMARY:Searching for non-unitary neutrino oscillations in the present T2K

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Ushak Rahaman (University of Johannesburg)\nThe mixi
 ng of three active neutrino flavors is parameterized by the unitary PMNS m
 atrix. If there are more than three neutrino flavors and if the extra gene
 rations are heavy iso-singlets\, the effective $3\\times 3$ mixing matrix 
 for the three active neutrinos will be non-unitary. We have analyzed the l
 atest T2K and NO$\\nu$A data with the hypothesis of non-unitary mixing of 
 the active neutrinos. We found that the 2019 NO$\\nu$A data slightly (at $
 \\sim 1\\\, \\sigma$ C.L.) prefer the non-unitary mixing over unitary mixi
 ng. In fact\, allowing the non-unitary mixing brings the NO$\\nu$A best-fi
 t point in the $\\sin^2\\theta_{23}-\\delta_{\\rm CP}$ plane closer to the
  T2K best-fit point. The 2019 T2K data\, on the other hand\, cannot rule o
 ut any of the two mixing schemes. A combined analysis of the NO$\\nu$A and
  T2K 2019 data prefers the non-unitary mixing at $1\\\, \\sigma$ C.L.. We 
 derive constraints on the non-unitary mixing parameters using the best-fit
  to the combined NO$\\nu$A and T2K data. These constraints are weaker than
  previously found. The latest 2020 data from both the experiments prefer n
 on-unitarity over unitary mixing at $1\\\, \\sigma$ C.L. The combined anal
 ysis prefers non-unitarity at $2\\\, \\sigma$ C.L. The stronger tension\, 
 which exists between the latest 2020 data of the two experiments\, also ge
 ts reduced with non-unitary analysis.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/6

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Manoa Andriamirado (Illinois Institute of Technology
 )\nThe Precision Reactor Oscillation and SPECTrum experiment\, PROSPECT\, 
 is a reactor antineutrino experiment located at the High Flux Isotope Reac
 tor (HFIR). The detector is deployed on surface with minimal overburden at
  very short baseline from the highly enriched uranium reactor core. With t
 his configuration\, PROSPECT detector can be used to explore different var
 iety of physics topics\, from reactor to BSM physics.\n\nThis talk will su
 mmarize PROSPECT’s latest results\, including recent sterile neutrino os
 cillation analyses\, measurement of the $^{235}$U antineutrino spectrum\, 
 and a dedicated search for boosted sub-GeV dark matter. It will also discu
 ss future plans to perform improved physics measurements with a second-gen
 eration detector\, called PROSPECT-II.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/

SUMMARY:The STEREO search for a sterile neutrino at the ILL reactor with f

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Loïc-René Labit (Univ Grenoble Alpes\, Univ Savoie
  Mont Blanc)\nLoïc-René LABIT\, on behalf of the STEREO collaboration\nD
 uring the last decades\, several parameters describing the neutrino oscill
 ation phenomenon have been characterized thanks to reactor neutrino experi
 ments\, in particular the precise measurement of the last-to-be-measured m
 ixing angle $\\theta_{13}$.\nFollowing a reactor antineutrino flux re-esti
 mation in 2011\, a ∼6% deficit between observed and predicted reactor an
 tineutrino fluxes\, known as the Reactor Antineutrino Anomaly\, has been o
 bserved.\nThe Reactor Antineutrino Anomaly could be explained by an oscill
 ation toward an additional non-interacting\, (thus “sterile”) neutrino
 . The parameters that best explain the RAA are a mixing angle value of $\\
 sin^{2}(2\\theta)$ =0.17 and a mass splitting value of $\\Delta m^{2}_{41}
 $ =2.3 $\\textrm{eV}^{2}$.\nAdditionally\, a discrepancy between the measu
 red and predicted antineutrino energy spectrum taking the form of an exces
 s of events around 5 MeV has been observed by several reactor neutrino exp
 eriments. This discrepancy has yet to be fully understood but could be cau
 sed by incorrect predictions of the neutrino spectra.\nThe STEREO experime
 nt\, located at Institut Laue-Langevin in Grenoble (France)\, was designed
  to test the above mentioned oscillation hypothesis independently of shape
  and rate predictions. The segmented detector\, located at ~10 m of a comp
 act reactor core\, allows for a measurement of the antineutrino energy spe
 ctrum at various baselines\, sensitive to the oscillation toward a sterile
  neutrino that would distort the spectrum differently at each baseline.\nT
 he experiment could also help to disentangle isotopic contributions to the
  neutrino energy spectrum by providing a measurement of the spectrum shape
  and rate originating from a core with highly enriched (93%)235U.\nThe exp
 eriment took data between November 2016 and November 2020. This talk will 
 present the latest limits set in the oscillation parameter space with the 
 full data sample\, amounting to 334 (544) days of reactor-on (off)\, as we
 ll as the updated rate and spectrum shape measurements.\n\nhttps://indico.

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Igor Alekseev (ITEP)\nSolid scintillator reactor ant
 ineutrino detector DANSS is placed on a\nmovable platform below 3.1 GW ind
 ustrial reactor of the Kalininskaya Nuclear\nPower Plant. The distance bet
 ween the detector and the center of\nthe reactor core is frequently change
 d in the range 10.9 - 12.9 m. The\nreactor materials provide overburden of
  about 50 m.w.e.\nThe one-cubic-meter sensitive volume of the detector is 
 assembled\nfrom 2500 polystyrene scintillation strips and surrounded\nby a
  multilayer passive and active shielding. A dual readout\nby silicon photo
  multipliers (individually) and by convention PMTs\n(in groups of 50 strip
 s) is used to achieve both high detector\ngranularity and low noise trigge
 r.\n\nIn the position closest to the reactor core up to 5000 inverse\nbeta
 -decay events per day are collected with cosmic muons induced\nbackground 
 below 2%. The talk covers 5 years of the detector operation\,\nresults of 
 our search for light sterile neutrinos as well as plans for\nthe detector 
 upgrade.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/6178/contributions/15579/

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: José I. Crespo-Anadón (CIEMAT)\nThe Short-Baseline
  Near Detector (SBND) will be one of three liquid Argon Time Projection Ch
 amber (LArTPC) neutrino detectors positioned along the axis of the Booster
  Neutrino Beam (BNB) at Fermilab\, as part of the Short-Baseline Neutrino 
 (SBN) Program. The detector is currently in the construction phase and is
  anticipated to begin operation in the second half of 2022.  SBND is char
 acterised by superb imaging capabilities and will record over a million ne
 utrino interactions per year. Thanks to its unique combination of measurem
 ent resolution and statistics\, SBND will carry out a rich program of neut
 rino interaction measurements and novel searches for physics beyond the St
 andard Model (BSM). It will enable the potential of the overall SBN steril
 e neutrino program by performing a precise characterisation of the unoscil
 lated event rate\, and by constraining BNB flux and neutrino-Argon cross-s
 ection systematic uncertainties. In this talk\, the physics reach\, curren
 t status\, and future prospects of SBND are discussed.\n\nhttps://indico.i

DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Zhao Xin ()\nWe study the status of the reactor anti
 neutrino anomaly in light of new reactor flux models from both conversion 
 and summation methods. We find that both the reactor rate and fuel evoluti
 on data are consistent with the predictions both from the conversion model
  of Kopeikin et al. and the summation model of Estienne et al. The converg
 ence of both model predictions indicates the rebustness for the solution t
 o the reactor anomaly in terms of flux model refinements.\n\nhttps://indic
