Neutrino Oscillations

Oral

Long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments present some of the most compelling paths towards beyond-the-standard-model physics. They do this by utilising intense, well controlled muon neutrino beams along with near detectors to constrain neutrino flux, cross sections, and backgrounds whilst measuring electron neutrino appearance and muon neutrino disappearance. By observing these neutrino...

48. New results on Neutrino Mass from the KATRIN Experiment

Neutrino Oscillations

Oral

The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment has pushed the measurement of absolute neutrino mass scale down to the sub-eV region for the first time. The $\beta$ electrons from molecular tritium decay are measured with high precision, using the magnetic adiabatic collimation with an electrostatic filter (MAC-E filter). A blind analysis for the first two scientific campaigns of KATRIN...

95. Reactor Neutrinos Overview

Neutrino Oscillations

Oral

Nuclear reactors have played a key role in advancing the knowledge regarding neutrinos. For example, the first detection of a neutrino used a nuclear reactor as the source. Moreover, recent reactor neutrino experiments found clear evidence of neutrino oscillations and opened up the parameters' measurement precision era. There is a rich physics that we can explore with reactor neutrinos, and...

67. Results from the MicroBooNE Low-Energy Excess Search

Neutrino Oscillations

Oral

MicroBooNE is a liquid argon time projection chamber detector designed to address the excess of low energy electromagnetic events observed by the MiniBooNE detector. Two hypotheses for this excess are explored by MicroBooNE: an electron-like excess coming from a larger than expected number of charged current (CC) ${\nu }_e$ interactions and a photon-like excess coming from neutrino-induced...
