Description

Speaker: Nicholas Kamp
Abstract: The highest-energy human-made neutrinos are produced in colliders. The current record is held by LHC-produced neutrinos, which were first detected in 2023 by the FASER and SND collaborations. In this talk, we propose two new LHC neutrino detector concepts: the Surface Integrated Neutrino Experiment (SINE) and the UNDerwater Integrated Neutrino Experiment (UNDINE). SINE and UNDINE instrument large volumes of bedrock and water, respectively, to collect large neutrino datasets during the high-luminosity LHC. We show that these datasets can constrain forward charm hadron production in proton collisions and set strong constraints on heavy neutral leptons. Next, we turn to a future neutrino beam derived from a muon collider. We introduce the Neutrino Kaleidoscope concept, in which this well-characterized TeV neutrino beam is oriented toward a neutrino telescope for an ultra-long baseline neutrino experiment. Finally, we show that recycling the muons in the collider ring for a muon beam dump can lead to unprecedented sensitivity to heavy neutral leptons with masses Mn > GeV.
