SUMMARY:VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | Zoya Vallari (CalTech)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Zoya Vallari (California Institute of Technology) \nTitle: Neutrino Oscillation Results & Future Prospects of the NOvA Experiment \nAbstract: \nNeutrino mixing parameters are rapidly being measured to a higher precision by many experiments\, however key questions such as mass hierarchy of neutrinos and CP violation in the lepton sector are still unanswered. NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino experiment that measures oscillation using the muon neutrinos and antineutrinos delivered by the NuMI beam at Fermilab. Neutrino oscillation is detected by observing appearance of electron (anti)neutrinos and disappearance of muon (anti)neutrinos at the Far Detector located near Ash River\, MN\, as compared to the Near Detector at Fermilab. \nThis talk will focus on the latest results from the joint analysis of neutrino and anti-neutrino oscillation by NOvA and highlight its current sensitivity to neutrino mixing and CP violating parameters. I will compare these results with other global results\, specifically the T2K experiment\, and outline the plans for the upcoming joint data analysis between the two experiments. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/99139885106?pwd=bG14Wk9ZOTVqakgvbnliK0hMS3ZWZz09\nMeeting ID: 991 3988 5106\nPasscode: 749065

SUMMARY:SPECIAL VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | Roger Huang (UCB)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Roger Huang (UC Berkeley) \nTitle: 0νββ Search Results from One Ton-Year of CUORE Data \nAbstract: \nThe search for neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) is currently the most sensitive way to test the hypothesis that neutrinos may be Majorana particles and obtain insight as to the nature of neutrino masses. CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events) first began taking data over 3 years ago and is now one of the leading experiments in the current international 0νββ landscape. It utilizes a cryogenic bolometric approach\, operating 742 kg of TeO2 at a temperature of ~10 mK to search for the neutrinoless double beta decay of Te-130. This talk will present new results from the search for 0νββ with CUORE\, coming from an analysis of data corresponding to over one ton-year of exposure. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95552707017?pwd=UXFwM2xabldGTXFrb25aNXJRQTlhUT09\nMeeting ID: 955 5270 7017\nPasscode: 479612

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | Walter Pettus (Indiana University)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Walter Pettus (Indiana University Bloomington) \nTitle: Project 8: Towards the Atomic Tritium Future of Direct Neutrino Mass Measurement \nAbstract: \nNeutrino flavor oscillations provided the first break in the Standard Model by proving that neutrinos have nonzero mass\, but leave us with an unanswered question: How much mass?  Project 8 is a next-generation experiment based on the novel Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy (CRES) technique to perform a radio frequency-based measurement of the tritium beta spectrum.  The goal of the phased program is to reach a mass sensitivity below 40 meV\, completely covering the allowed region of the inverted mass ordering. In this talk\, I will present results from the waveguide apparatus measurements of 83mKr and molecular tritium\, demonstrating the capabilities of the CRES technique.  Progress is underway on the next phase of the experiment focusing on a pair of critical technology demonstrations – scaling the CRES technique to a large free-space volume\, and production and trapping of a high-intensity atomic tritium source. \nJoin Zoom Meeting  \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/98529820162?pwd=VEFTcVlKS3B2RHY1QW1JZWJOQ2VLZz09  \nMeeting ID: 985 2982 0162  \nPasscode: 137386

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | Erin Hansen (UC Berkeley)
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Erin Hansen (UC Berkeley)\n  \n\n\nTitle: Progress on the search for 2νββ of 130-Te to excited states of 130-Xe with CUORE \n  \nAbstract: \nThe CUORE experiment is a ton-scale bolometric array searching for the lepton number violating neutrinoless double-beta decay (0νββ) in the isotope 130-Te. While a discovery of 0νββ would herald new physics\, the Standard Model process of two-neutrino double-beta decay (2νββ) in 130-Te has been measured in CUORE. In such cases where the isotope decays to an excited state of the daughter\, 130-Xe\, gammas are emitted leading to events whose energy is spread across multiple crystals. CUORE is currently searching for this decay mode\, as understanding the branching ratio and spectral shape for such 2νββ decays to excited states can improve nuclear modelling and help constrain the matrix elements involved in searches for 0νββ. This talk will describe the status of and progress towards an improved search for 2νββ decays to excited states with an increased exposure of CUORE as well as additional analysis features. By exploiting the segmented nature of the CUORE detector\, the scope of event signatures considered in the search is expanded and further accompanied by an improved efficiency of signal containment. \nJoin Zoom Meeting \nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95917081698?pwd=SGcrNENWeEpHMUZXRHoyZy82a2Z3QT09 \nMeeting ID: 959 1708 1698 \nPasscode: 367723

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL INPA SEMINAR | Sam Hedges (Duke University)
DESCRIPTION:Location: via Zoom \nSpeaker: Sam Hedges (Duke University) \nTitle: Experimental Tests of Low Energy Neutrino-Nucleus Interactions at the Spallation Neutron Source \nAbstract: \nThe intense flux of neutrinos produced at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) make it an ideal location to pursue studies of low energy neutrino-nucleus interactions. The COHERENT experiment has deployed a suite of detectors to the SNS to measure coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS)\, a standard model process predicted more than forty years ago but only recently observed. CEvNS plays an important role in the evolution of a supernova\, is a background for WIMP searches\, and has potential applications for monitoring reactor neutrinos. In addition\, COHERENT is studying several inelastic neutrino-nucleus cross sections that are of interest for supernova neutrino detection and as backgrounds for CEvNS measurements. An overview of the COHERENT program at the SNS\, supporting nuclear physics measurements\, and recent results will be presented. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/99483481476?pwd=MXNjVHkwaTJBc1RoVVE2aU5ldXVCdz09\nMeeting ID: 994 8348 1476\nPasscode: 636854
