Liquid Argon TPC (LarTPC) detectors have a unique capability in measuring low energy neutrino signals. In this work, we study the DUNE sensitivity to the CP-violation phase using sub-GeV atmospheric neutrinos. LarTPCs would reconstruct with high accuracy the track and the energy of low-energy charged particles, allowing to infer the energy and direction of sub-GeV neutrinos with unprecedented...
Due to its long baseline, DUNE provides an excellent avenue to probe Earth’s matter effect and associated degeneracies. We study in detail the performance of DUNE to validate matter oscillation by excluding the vacuum scenario. Whatever be the values of oscillation parameters, we find that DUNE can feel Earth’s matter at more than 2$\sigma$ confidence level. The relative 1$\sigma$ precision in...
A core-collapse supernova (SN) can act as the perfect laboratory to probe fundamental neutrino physics. For example, a future galactic SN will present us with a naturally long baseline to probe new channels of neutrino decay. In this talk, I will discuss the impact of two-body decays of neutrinos on the neutronization burst of a core-collapse SN. Upcoming neutrino experiments like DUNE and...
I will talk about how to systematically study the physics beyond the standard model (BSM) in the neutrino oscillation experiments within the standard model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) framework. In this way, the analysis of the data can capture large classes of models, where the new degrees of freedom have masses well above the relevant energy for the experiment. Moreover, it allows...
After the new data presented at the Neutrino2020 conference, the global picture of three-neutrino mixing has changed significantly: the hint for Normal Mass Ordering has decreased, and leptonic CP conservation is allowed within less than 1 sigma.
In this talk, I will scrutinize the origin and internal consistency of the global results. The latter allows to quantitatively assess whether...
We discuss the possibility to distinguish between Dirac and Majorana neutrinos in the context of the minimal gauge theory for neutrino masses, the B-L gauge extension of the Standard Model. We revisit the possibility to observe lepton number violation at the Large Hadron Collider and point out the importance of the decays of the new gauge boson to discriminate between the existence of Dirac or...
