Invisible Labor and the "Ghost Particle": Underground Physics at the Kolar Gold Fields. [PDF]
Ber WissAbstract When cosmic rays—high‐energy particles from outer space—encounter the Earth's atmosphere, they produce particles called neutrinos. To detect them, physicists go underground inside deep mines where the overlying rock can filter out the cosmic‐ray background radiation.

Pulse Shape Discrimination of n/γ in Liquid Scintillator at PMT Nonlinear Region Using Artificial Neural Network Technique [PDF]
SensorsReactor-emitted electron antineutrinos can be detected via the inverse beta decay reaction, which produces a characteristic signal: a two-fold coincidence between a prompt positron event and a delayed neutron capture event within a specific time frame ...

Using DUNE to shed light on the electromagnetic properties of neutrinos
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We study future DUNE sensitivity to various electromagnetic couplings of neutrinos, including magnetic moments, milli-charges, and charge radii. The DUNE PRISM capabilities play a crucial role in constraining the electron flavored couplings. We find that

Sterile neutrinos and the global reactor antineutrino dataset
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We present results from global fits to the available reactor antineutrino dataset, as of Fall 2019, to determine the global preference for a fourth, sterile neutrino.

Milli-magnetic monopole dark matter and the survival of galactic magnetic fields
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 Dark sectors with Abelian gauge symmetries can interact with ordinary matter via kinetic mixing. In such scenarios, magnetic monopoles of a broken dark U(1) will appear in our sector as confined milli-magnetically charged objects under ordinary ...

The impact of neutrino-nucleus interaction modeling on new physics searches
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 Accurate neutrino-nucleus interaction modeling is an essential requirement for the success of the accelerator-based neutrino program. As no satisfactory description of cross sections exists, experiments tune neutrino-nucleus interactions to data to ...
