Invited talk

Neutrinoless double beta decay (NLDBD) is the most sensitive probe of lepton number violation. Its discovery would be a clear signal of physics beyond the Standard Model, confirm the Majorana nature of neutrinos, and provide insight into scenarios of baryogenesis through leptogenesis. In this talk, I will give an overview of the kind of lepton-number violating (LNV) interactions that can be...

11. When backgrounds become signal: neutrino detection with xenon detectors

Invited talk

Large target masses and ultra-low background levels are now becoming commonplace for xenon-based rare event searches. As a result, current and future experiments will have unprecedented sensitivity to astrophysical neutrinos in multiple interaction channels. In this talk I will provide a brief overview of relevant neutrino sources and their interaction channels in xenon-based experiments while...

32. Supernova neutrino detection with XLZD and the limitations therein

Sayan Ghosh (Purdue University)

57. Neutrinoless double beta decay with Theia

Tanner Kaptanoglu (LBNL)

26/10/2023, 12:25

Invited talk

This talk will present plans and prospects for a next-generation neutrinoless double beta decay search with Theia, a novel hybrid Cherenkov+scintillation neutrino detector. Sensitivity to a broad program of additional physics will be presented, along with progress in R&D and technology demonstrations.
