SUMMARY:INPA Seminar Speaker: Vladyslav Berest (Remote)-Universite Paris-Saclay- Title: Towards the meV level of neutrino mass scale: from CUPID to BINGO
DESCRIPTION:Date: April 11\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room – 50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Vladyslav Berest (Universite Paris-Saclay) \nTitle: Towards the meV level of neutrino mass scale: from CUPID to BINGO \nAbstract: Neutrinoless double-beta decay (0v2b) is a key process in the search for Majorana neutrinos. Its observation would confirm the violation of lepton number conservation\, demonstrating that neutrinos are their own antiparticles\, and provide crucial insight into the absolute neutrino mass scale and hierarchy. The CUPID (CUORE Upgrade with Particle ID) experiment aims to achieve the sensitivity required to probe the inverted hierarchy region of the effective Majorana mass. It will employ an array of scintillating bolometers composed of Li2MoO4 (LMO) crystals enriched in Mo-100\, coupled with Ge bolometric light detectors. This dual heat-light readout enables an efficient rejection of the alpha background\, which currently limits the sensitivity of its predecessor\, CUORE. CUPID aims to reach an unprecedented background index of 1e-4 counts/kg/keV/year (ckky) in the region of interest (ROI) and to establish the technology required for a future ton-scale bolometric 0v2b experiment. Beyond CUPID\, further sensitivity improvements are necessary to probe the normal hierarchy region. The BINGO (Bi-Isotope 0v2b Next Generation Observatory) project introduces novel strategies to reduce background levels to 1e-5 ckky for the simultaneous study of Mo-100 and Te-130 isotopes. It proposes three main technological improvements that should help to drastically reduce background in ROI\, including innovative detector assembly\, cryogenic active veto\, and Neganov-Trofimov-Luke light detectors. This talk will provide a general review of the current status of 0v2b decay bolometric experiments\, along with the most recent results of R&D work conducted within the BINGO project framework. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011 \nPasscode: 247722

SUMMARY:INPA Seminar Speaker: Adam Baldoni (Penn State)-Title: A Novel Target Material for Optical Neutrino Detectors
DESCRIPTION:Date: April 18\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room – 50A-5132 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Adam Baldoni (Penn State) \nTitle: A Novel Target Material for Optical Neutrino Detectors \nAbstract: Since the late 1960s\, optical detectors have been a common method for detecting neutrino interactions. Two common target materials for these detectors are pure water and liquid scintillator\, each having advantages and disadvantages. A new material\, water-based liquid scintillator (WbLS)\, has been developed over the last decade at Brookhaven National Laboratory and combines the advantages of its constituents while minimizing their disadvantages. Small-scale\, tabletop experiments have been done with WbLS\, but ton-scale tests need to be performed before scaling up to a kiloton-scale WbLS detector. This talk will give an overview of three ton-scale WbLS detectors currently in operation\, detailing their design and the physics underlying how these detectors work. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011 \nPasscode: 247722

SUMMARY:INPA SEMINAR - Speaker: Dr. Paschal Coyle (CNRS\, Centre de Physique des Particules de Marseille\, France)-Title: Physics in the abyss with KM3NeT: from neutrino oscillations to cosmic neutrinos
DESCRIPTION:Date: April 25\, 2025 \nTime: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm \nLocation: Auditorium 50-4 [Hybrid and In-Person] \nSpeaker: Dr. Paschal Coyle  (CNRS\, Centre de Physique des Particules de Marseille\, France) \nTitle: Physics in the abyss with KM3NeT: from neutrino oscillations to cosmic neutrinos \nAbstract: The Kilometre cube neutrino telescope (KM3NeT) is a deep-sea neutrino telescope currently under construction in the Mediterranean Sea. Its main goals are the search for astrophysical sources of high-energy cosmic neutrinos and the study of neutrino oscillation phenomena with atmospheric neutrinos. It is also a unique cabled marine observatory for sea science studies. \nKM3NeT comprises giant 3D arrays of multi-PMT optical modules optimized to detect the Cherenkov light emitted by charged particles resulting from neutrino interactions in the vicinity of the detectors. With its two sites: ARCA a ‘sparse’ km3-scale detector offshore from Sicily and ORCA a ‘dense’ 7 MTon detector offshore from the south of France\, KM3NeT is sensitive to neutrino energies ranging from Mev to PeV. \nIn this talk\, the KM3NeT status and prospects are reported. The latest results including; atmospheric neutrino oscillations\, tau appearance\, neutrino mass ordering\, searches for beyond standard model effects and the recent detection of an exceptional ultra-high energy cosmic neutrino are presented. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95016696011?pwd=Tk1XOW1Xd3RYRnlsc2tEYmRWZlVVZz09 \nMeeting ID: 950 1669 6011 \nPasscode: 247722
