We point out that neutrino fluxes from a supernova can show substantial flavor conversions almost immediately above the core.
Using linear stability analyses and numerical solutions of the fully nonlinear equations of motion, we perform a detailed study of these fast conversions. Using fluxes and angular distributions predicted by supernova simulations, we find that fast conversions can...

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, located at South Pole Station Antarctica, is currently the world's largest neutrino telescope with an instrumented volume greater than 1 gigaton. With sensitivity to neutrinos ranging in energies from approximately 10 GeV to the EeV-scale, IceCube has established a rich scientific program that includes the advent of neutrino astronomy and leading measurements...

ORCA (Oscillations Research with Cosmics in the Abyss) is the low-energy branch of KM3NeT, the next generation underwater Cherenkov neutrino detector currently being built in the Mediterranean. Its primary goal is to resolve the long-standing question of the neutrino mass hierarchy, i.e. whether the mass eigenstate $\nu_3$ is heavier (normal hierarchy) or lighter (inverted hierarchy) than the...

Dark matter that interacts with the standard model (SM) through the “neutrino portal” is a possibility that is relatively less well studied than other scenarios. In such a setup, the dark matter communicates with the SM primarily through its interactions with (both mostly sterile and mostly active) neutrinos. In this talk, I will motivate neutrino portal dark matter and discuss some new tests...

I will discuss the prospects for near future coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering experiments to test Standard Model physics and Beyond Standard Model physics. I will discuss how existing dark matter direct detection technology can be employed to explore novel neutrino interactions and explore hidden sector models using reactor, stopped pion, and solar sources. I will also comment on the...
