Demonstration of particle tracking with scintillating fibres read out by a SPAD array sensor and application as a neutrino active target

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Paul Mos, Kodai Kaneyasu, Michael Alan Wayne

Scintillating fibre detectors combine sub-mm resolution particle tracking, precise measurements of the particle stopping power and sub-ns time resolution. Typically, fibres are read out with silicon photomultipliers (SiPM). Hence, if fibres with a few hund ...

Neutrino Signal from a Population of Seyfert Galaxies

Andrii Neronov

IceCube Collaboration has previously reported evidence for a neutrino signal from a Seyfert galaxy NGC 1068. This may suggest that all Seyfert galaxies emit neutrinos. To test this hypothesis, we identify the best candidate neutrino sources among nearby Se ...

Hint for a TeV neutrino emission from the Galactic Ridge with ANTARES

Andrii Neronov, Javier García Hernández, Randoald Müller

Interactions of cosmic ray protons, atomic nuclei, and electrons in the interstellar medium in the inner part of the Milky Way produce γ-ray flux from the Galactic Ridge. If the γ-ray emission is dominated by proton and nuclei interactions, a neutrino flux ...

Euclid: modelling massive neutrinos in cosmology a code comparison

Georges Meylan, Bo Li, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

The measurement of the absolute neutrino mass scale from cosmological largescale clustering data is one of the key science goals of the Euclid mission. Such a measurement relies on precise modelling of the impact of neutrinos on structure formation, which ...

Hadronic nature of high-energy emission from the Galactic ridge

Andrii Neronov

We show that the IceCube observation of the Galactic neutrino-flux component confirms the hint of detection of neutrinos from the Galactic ridge (the inner part of the Milky Way disk within the Galactic longitude IlI < 30(degrees)), previously reported by ...

Search for Heavy Neutral Leptons with LHCb

Serhii Cholak

This thesis presents a search for a beyond the Standard Model (SM) heavy neutral lepton (HNL), which does not interact via any of the SM interactions. This hypothetical particle has been proposed by multiple theories as an extension to the SM, and it could ...

Mapping the Viable Parameter Space for Testable Leptogenesis

Marco Drewes, Juraj Klaric, Yannis Georis

We for the first time map the range of active-sterile neutrino mixing angles in which leptogenesis is possible in the type I seesaw model with three heavy neutrinos with Majorana masses between 50 MeV and 70 TeV, covering the entire experimentally accessib ...

Searches for new physics at SND@LHC

Lesya Shchutska, Alexey Boyarsky

SND@LHC is an approved experiment equipped to detect scatterings of neutrinos produced in the far-forward direction at the LHC, and aimed to measure their properties. In addition, the detector has a potential to search for new feebly interacting particles ...

BOSS Correlation Function analysis from the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure

Cheng Zhao

After calibrating the predictions of the Effective Field Theory of Large-Scale Structure against several sets of simulations, as well as implementing a new method to assert the scale cut of the theory without the use of any simulation, we analyze the Full ...

Low-scale leptogenesis with flavour and CP symmetries

Marco Drewes, Juraj Klaric, Yannis Georis

We consider a type-I seesaw framework endowed with a flavour symmetry, belonging to the series of non-abelian groups increment (3 n(2)) and increment (6 n(2)), and a CP symmetry. Breaking these symmetries in a non-trivial way results in the right-handed ne ...

Muon flux measurement at China Jinping Underground Laboratory

Zhe Wang, Mourad Chouaki, Jian Tang, Qian Liu, Ghulam Hussain, Tong Xu

China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL) is ideal for studying solar, geo-, and supernova neutrinos. A precise measurement of the cosmic-ray background is essential in proceeding with R&D research for these MeV-scale neutrino experiments. Using a 1-ton ...

MeV-scale seesaw and leptogenesis

Marco Drewes, Valerie Fiona Domcke, Michele Lucente

We study the type-I seesaw model with three right-handed neutrinos and Majorana masses below the pion mass. In this mass range, the model parameter space is not only strongly constrained by the requirement to explain the light neutrino masses, but also by ...

Reconciling resonant leptogenesis and baryogenesis via neutrino oscillations

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Inar Timiryasov, Juraj Klaric

Right-handed neutrinos offer an elegant solution to two well-established phenomena beyond the Standard Model (SM)-masses and oscillations of neutrinos, as well as the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. It is also a minimalistic solution, since it requires o ...
