  1. 34. A search for argon-bound neutron-antineutron oscillation with the MicroBooNE LArTPC
    Dr Daisy Kalra (Columbia University)
    5/12/22, 2:00 PM
    Proton Decay
    Oral

    Massive and deep underground detectors such as the future Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will offer a unique opportunity to search for rare, beyond-Standard Model (BSM) physics signals. One such BSM process is nucleus-bound neutron-antineutron oscillation—a baryon number violating process that produces a unique, star-like topological signature that should be easily recognizable...

  2. 35. Nucleon Decay Studies at Super-Kamiokande
    Linyan WAN
    5/12/22, 2:20 PM
    Proton Decay
    Oral

    Searching for proton decay and other baryon number violation processes is an essential and high priority goal of particle physics, closely related to fundamental topics such as baryon asymmetry of the universe, grand unified theories (GUT), and new physics below the GUT scale. With more than 20 years of data-taking and a large fiducial volume, Super-Kamiokande (SK) has presented leading...

  3. 56. Baryon Number Violation Searches in DUNE
    Tyler Stokes (Louisiana State University)
    5/12/22, 2:40 PM
    Proton Decay
    Oral

    The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an international project that will study neutrinos and search for phenomena predicted by theories Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). DUNE will use a 70-kton liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) located more than a kilometer underground. The excellent imaging capabilities of the LArTPC technology, in addition to the large size and...

  4. 64. Searching for nucleon decay in JUNO
    Dr Benda Xu (Tsinghua University )
    5/12/22, 3:00 PM
    Proton Decay
    Oral

    JUNO is a multi-purpose 20 kton liquid scintillator neutrino detector under construction in the southeast of China at a baseline of 52.5 km from eight nuclear reactors. The experiment will have a rich program in neutrino oscillation physics using reactor antineutrinos, as well as in the study of neutrinos from a variety of natural sources including the Sun, the Earth, and supernovae. The...

  5. 37. Searches for baryon number violation via neutron conversions at the European Spallation Source
    Sze Chun Yiu (Fysikum, Stockholm University)
    5/12/22, 3:20 PM
    Proton Decay
    Oral

    The observation of neutrons converting to antineutrons and/or sterile neutrons would demonstrate Baryon Number Violation (BNV) for the first time. BNV is an essential condition needed to produce the matter/anti-matter asymmetry in the universe and appears in a number of theories beyond the Standard Model. Furthermore, the existence of sterile neutrons would address the dark matter problem. ...
