For the next galactic supernova, operational neutrino telescopes will measure the neutrino flux several hours before their optical counterparts. Existing detectors, relying mostly on charged current interactions, are mostly sensitive to $\bar{\nu}_e$ and to a lesser extent to $\nu_e$. In order to measure the flux of other flavors...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation long-baseline neutrino experiment with a 70-kt liquid argon detector at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) 1300 km from Fermilab. This programme includes studies of neutrino oscillations with a high-intensity muon-neutrino beam from Fermilab; as well as, proton decay and supernova neutrino burst searches. DUNE...
The Project 8 collaboration is seeking a direct measurement of the absolute neutrino mass scale from the distortion of the tritium beta decay spectrum near the endpoint with a sensitivity of $\sim 40\,\mathrm{meV/c^2}$. To this end, the collaboration has successfully established CRES, a frequency-based approach to detect electrons and determine their kinetic energy. This talk will present the...
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a next-generation liquid-scintillator reactor neutrino experiment under construction in Southern China. It is a multi-purpose experiment with a wide range of applications in neutrino physics, ranging from a mass-ordering (MO) determination to solar, geo-, and atmospheric neutrinos, detecting of Supernova neutrinos, and precision...
The XENONnT experiment is an ultra-low background liquid xenon Time Projection Chamber at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy. Beyond its primary science goal to detect WIMP dark matter, XENONnT will be highly sensitive to a variety of rare neutrino processes. The previous XENON1T measured the half-life of the two-neutrino double-electron capture process of Xenon-124. In XENONnT, with...
We have measured, for the first time in pure Xe, non-excimer-based secondary scintillation, Neutral Bremsstrahlung (NBrS), in a dedicated setup based on a Gas Proportional Scintillation Counter.
The emission of NBrS by drifting electrons occurs even for electric field values below the gas excitation threshold. We have shown the presence of NBrS in the NEXT-White TPC, at present the largest...
RES-NOVA is a new proposed experiment for the hunt of neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae (SN) via coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) using an array of archaeological lead (Pb) based cryogenic detectors. The high CEvNS cross-section on Pb and the ultra-high radiopurity of archaeological Pb enable the operation of a high statistics experiment equally sensitive to all...
Super-Kamiokande (SK) is the world's largest underground water Cherenkov
detector. The latest phase of operations began in July 2020 when, in order
to improve neutron detection efficiency, about 13 tons of gadolinium (Gd)
sulfate octahydrate was dissolved into SK's pure water. Gd has a large
thermal neutron capture cross section and emits visible gamma rays. This
first loading marked the...
The Hyper-Kamiokande experiment consists of a 260 kt underground water Cherenkov detector with a fiducial volume more than 8 times larger than that of Super-Kamiokande. It will serve both as a far detector of a long-baseline neutrino experiment and an observatory for astrophysical neutrinos and rare decays.
The long-baseline neutrino experiment will detect neutrinos originating from the...
Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K) is a next-generation experiment for understanding the properties of neutrino mixing, astrophysical neutrinos, and searches for new physics through processes such as nucleon decay. It will utilize a water Cherenkov detector 8 times larger than the current Super-Kamiokande, and will benefit from an upgraded 2.5 times higher intensity J-PARC beam than T2K. An...
