Non-Accelerator-Based Neutrino Physics
The Enriched Xenon Observatory (EXO-200) is one of the most sensitive searches for neutrinoless double beta decay (bb0v) in the world. With 175 kg of enriched liquid xenon (80% Xe-136) as both the source of decay and the detection medium, the experiment uses an ultralow background time projection chamber installed at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, a salt mine with a 1600 m water equivalent...

Non-Accelerator-Based Neutrino Physics
New event reconstruction techniques have resulted in a high statistics atmospheric neutrino sample from the first three years of data from the complete IceCube Neutrino Observatory. The more densely instrumented DeepCore sub-array, with an energy threshold around 10 GeV, is very sensitive to the first atmospheric oscillation minima. I will present the current constraints on oscillation...

Non-Accelerator-Based Neutrino Physics
There has been increasing tension between direct reactor antineutrino measurements and models of antineutrino production.
As a result, several collaborations have proposed to make high-resolution measurements of the reactor neutrino spectrum at a short baseline.
One such collaboration is PROSPECT (the Precision Reactor Oscillation SPECTrum measurement).
The goal is two-fold: a precision...

Non-Accelerator-Based Neutrino Physics
In this talk I shall narrate our plans of building a new underground laboratory facility in southern India called India-based neutrino observatory (INO). A 50 kilo-ton magnetised Iron CALorimeter (ICAL)is one of the first experiments proposed to be housed in this observatory for the study of neutrino properties like mass hierarchy, precision measurement of oscillation parameters etc. using the...
