Non-Accelerator-Based Neutrino Physics Parallel

The NEXT-100 time projection chamber, currently under construction, will search for neutrinoless double beta decay (ββ0ν) using 100–150 kg of high-pressure xenon gas enriched in the 136Xe isotope to ∼90%. The detector possesses two important features for ββ0ν searches: very good energy resolution (better than 1% FWHM at the Q value of 136Xe) and event topological information for the...

Non-Accelerator-Based Neutrino Physics Parallel

The Borexino is a an excellent and well understood detector for both low energy sub-MeV neutrinos (as proven by the solar neutrino results) and anti-neutrinos. The European Community has recently approved a project for the construction of a neutrino or an anti-neutrino source which will allow to confirm or unambiguously reject the long standing neutrino anomalies suggested by the LSND...

Non-Accelerator-Based Neutrino Physics Parallel

The IceCube neutrino telescope was augmented with the DeepCore infill array, completed in the 2010/11 austral summer, to enhance its response to neutrinos at energies below 100 GeV. At these energies, neutrino oscillation effects are visible in the flux of atmospheric neutrinos traversing path lengths comparable to the Earth's diameter. Results of the first observations of muon neutrino...
