The Forward Physics Facility at the High-Luminosity LHC

Lesya Shchutska, Yiming Li, Alexey Boyarsky, Yi Zhang, Raffaele Tito D'Agnolo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Wei Liu, Ji Hyun Kim, Zheng Wang, Jing Li, Wenjing Wu, Francesco Cerutti, Martin Bauer, Patrick Foldenauer, Karan Kumar, Saurabh Nangia, Emanuele Copello

High energy collisions at the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (LHC) produce a large number of particles along the beam collision axis, outside of the acceptance of existing LHC experiments. The proposed Forward Physics Facility (FPF), to be located s ...

Energy reconstruction methods in the IceCube neutrino telescope

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Matthias Wolf, Mark Tobin, Sofia Vallecorsa, Xiaoxia Bai

Accurate measurement of neutrino energies is essential to many of the scientific goals of large-volume neutrino telescopes. The fundamental observable in such detectors is the Cherenkov light produced by the transit through a medium of charged particles cr ...

Can active-sterile neutrino oscillations lead to chaotic behavior of the cosmological lepton asymmetry?

While the cosmic baryon asymmetry has been measured at high accuracy to be 6.1 x 10(-10), a corresponding lepton asymmetry could be as large as 10(-2) if it hides in the neutrino sector. It has been known for some time that such an asymmetry could be gener ...

Sterile Neutrinos as the Origin of Dark and Baryonic Matter

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Marco Drewes, Laurent Canetti

We demonstrate for the first time that three sterile neutrinos alone can simultaneously explain neutrino oscillations, the observed dark matter, and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe without new physics above the Fermi scale. The key new point of our an ...

GZK Neutrino Search with the IceCube Neutrino Observatory using New Cosmic Ray Background Rejection Methods

Shirit Cohen

Ultra high energy neutrinos are important astrophysical messengers that carry information on processes taking place in extreme astrophysical environments. The detection of neutrinos originating from the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) process would confirm t ...

Use of event-level neutrino telescope data in global fits for theories of new physics

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Matthias Wolf, Xiaoxia Bai

We present a fast likelihood method for including event-level neutrino telescope data in parameter explorations of theories for new physics, and announce its public release as part of DarkSUSY 5.0.6. Our construction includes both angular and spectral info ...

Search for GeV-Scale Sterile Neutrinos Responsible for Active Neutrino Oscillations and Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe

Mikhail Chapochnikov

Standard Model fails to explain neutrino oscillations, dark matter, and baryon asymmetry of the Universe. All these problems can be solved with three sterile neutrinos added to SM. Quite remarkably, if sterile neutrino masses are well below the electroweak ...

Next decade of sterile neutrino studies

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

We review the status of sterile neutrino dark matter and discuss astrophysical and cosmological bounds on its properties as well as future prospects for its experimental searches. We argue that if sterile neutrinos are the dominant fraction of dark matter, ...

Resonant production of the sterile neutrino dark matter and fine-tunings in the neutrino minimal standard model

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Ananda Roy

The generation of lepton asymmetry below the electroweak scale has a considerable impact on production of dark matter sterile neutrinos. Oscillations or decays of the heavier sterile neutrinos in the neutrino minimal standard model can give rise to the req ...

Cosmological constraints on a light nonthermal sterile neutrino

Julien Lesgourgues

Although the MiniBooNE experiment has severely restricted the possible existence of light sterile neutrinos, a few anomalies persist in oscillation data, and the possibility of extra light species contributing as a subdominant hot (or warm) component is st ...

A measurement of coherent neutral pion production in neutrino neutral current interactions in the NOMAD experiment

Minh Tâm Tran, Ji Hyun Kim, Jean-Pierre Meyer

We present a study of exclusive neutral pion production in neutrino-nucleus Neutral Current interactions using data from the NOMAD experiment at the CERN SPS. The data correspond to 1.44 × 106 muon-neutrino Charged Current interactions in the energy range ...

Opening a new window for warm dark matter

Mikhail Chapochnikov

We explore the range of parameters for dark-matter sterile neutrinos in an extension of the Minimal Standard Model by three singlet fermions with masses below the electroweak scale (the νMSM). This simple model can explain a wide range of phenomena, includ ...

Constraints on sterile neutrino as a dark matter candidate from the diffuse X-ray background

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy

Sterile neutrinos with masses in the kilo-electronvolt range are viable candidates for the warm dark matter. We analyse existing data for the extragalactic diffuse X-ray background for signatures of sterile neutrino decay. The absence of a detectable signa ...
