Abstract:
The establishment of non-zero neutrino mass challenges our understanding of its origin. Determining the massing ordering and Dirac-or-Majorana fermion nature of neutrinos will be the key experimental milestones towards its solution. That requires next generation neutrino detectors both in scale and in performance.
Homogeneous Cherenkov and scintillation detectors are conventionally treated as counting calorimeters. We shall discuss the possibility to logically image the particle tracks in such detectors and layout a technological roadmap, with PMT waveform analysis as the first step
(arXiv:2112.06913). Our vision on tracking-Cherenkov-scintillation works through boosting energy resolution and particle identification to unveil the origin of neutrino mass.

Benda Xu is working on neutrinos, dark matter and proton decay search, together with the collaborations of Jinping Neutrino Experiment(JNE), Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory(JUNO), Xenon detector for Weakly Interacting MASSive Particles(XMASS) and Super-KamiokaNDE(SK). His academic focus is well presented in this talk, namely querying the origin of neutrino mass by innovative particle imaging technology on Cherenkov and scintillation detectors.
