MicroBooNE uses a liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) detector to investigate the observed anomalous low energy excess (LEE) of single electromagnetic shower events reported by the MiniBooNE experiment. By leveraging the LArTPC technology's ability to distinguish electron and photon electromagnetic showers, MicroBooNE is able to thoroughly test a number of hypotheses for the origin...
The DANSS reactor antineutrino spectrometer is located in close proximity to the power reactor at the Kalinin NPP (Russia). A lifting platform allows the detector position to be changed in the range of 11–13 m from the reactor core. More than 10M neutrino events and the long-term experiment operation, covering 5 complete fuel campaigns, provide DANSS with rich experimental data, which is used...
Neutrino oscillation experiments probe matter effects induced by non-standard interactions (NSI), but the sensitivity is confined to specific combinations of the underlying operators — leaving orthogonal directions in parameter space completely unconstrained. We show that neutral-current (NC) event rates at long-baseline experiments offer a direct handle on these blind directions, since the...
The current experimental framework does not entirely exclude the possibility of weak-strength non-standard interactions (NSIs) between neutrinos and leptons. These interactions are classified into two types: Neutral Current (NC) and Charged Current (CC). NC NSIs affect neutrino propagation through matter, while CC NSIs are crucial for the production and detection of neutrinos. The Borexino...
