Session G02: Accelerator-Based Neutrino Physics

Live

Neutrino beams offer an ideal environment~to~discover new particles or unveil new interactions. From searching for sterile neutrinos or heavy neutral leptons to seeking dark matter interactions, there is a wide range of new physics topics that can be probed by accelerator-based neutrino experiments. After reviewing~the current scientific landscape for searches of physics beyond the standard~model and presenting the most recent results from short- and long-baseline neutrino experiments, I will discuss the prospects for the next generation~of experiments.

With the planned DUNE, Hyper-Kamiokande, and JUNO detectors, as well as numerous smaller experiments, accelerator-based neutrino physics has become one of the flagship disciplines of fundamental physics. In this talk, we will highlight recent developments and future prospects in neutrino oscillation physics, discussing precision measurements within the Standard Model of particle physics as well as searches for new particles and interactions. We will also comment on the rich program of auxiliary analyses facilitated by current and future accelerator-based neutrino experiments, including searches for light ``dark sectors'' and precision studies of neutrino--nucleus interactions.

The liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) detector technology provides high resolution event images and excellent calorimetric resolution for particle identification, and it hence has been adopted by the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) as the far detector technology. Two large prototypes, ProtoDUNE-SP and ProtoDUNE-DP are built at CERN, and located in a test beam, to test the design and robustness of the LArTPC components. In the talk, I will present the latest results from ProtoDUNE-SP, highlighting the excellent performance of the TPC and photon detectors, which is crucial for achieving DUNE’s ambitious physics goals.
