Is it still the only machine for our future ? • Shall we wait for results from LHC/HL-LHC to decide our next step ? • What if ILC could not be approved ? • What is the future of High Energy Physics ? • A new route: – Thanks to the low mass Higgs, there is a possibility to build a circular e+e- collider(Higgs factory) followed by a proton machine in the same tunnel – This idea was reported for the first time at the “Higgs Factory workshop(HF2012)” in Oct. -

Effective Neutrino Masses in KATRIN and Future Tritium Beta-Decay Experiments
PHYSICAL REVIEW D 101, 016003 (2020) Effective neutrino masses in KATRIN and future tritium beta-decay experiments † ‡ Guo-yuan Huang,1,2,* Werner Rodejohann ,3, and Shun Zhou1,2, 1Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China 2School of Physical Sciences, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China 3Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik, Postfach 103980, D-69029 Heidelberg, Germany (Received 25 October 2019; published 3 January 2020) Past and current direct neutrino mass experiments set limits on the so-called effective neutrino mass, which is an incoherent sum of neutrino masses and lepton mixing matrix elements. The electron energy spectrum which neglects the relativistic and nuclear recoil effects is often assumed. Alternative definitions of effective masses exist, and an exact relativistic spectrum is calculable. We quantitatively compare the validity of those different approximations as function of energy resolution and exposure in view of tritium beta decays in the KATRIN, Project 8, and PTOLEMY experiments. Furthermore, adopting the Bayesian approach, we present the posterior distributions of the effective neutrino mass by including current experimental information from neutrino oscillations, beta decay, neutrinoless double-beta decay, and cosmological observations. Both linear and logarithmic priors for the smallest neutrino mass are assumed. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.101.016003 I.

Search for Neutrinos from TANAMI Observed AGN Using Fermi
Search for neutrinos from TANAMI observed AGN using Fermi lightcurves with ANTARES Suche nach Neutrinos von TANAMI-AGN unter Verwendung von Fermi-Lichtkurven mit ANTARES Der Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg zur Erlangung des Doktorgrads Dr. rer. nat. vorgelegt von Kerstin Fehn Als Dissertation genehmigt von der Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 24.03.2015 Vorsitzender des Promotionsorgans: Prof. Dr. Jörn Wilms Gutachter/in: Prof. Dr. Gisela Anton Prof. Dr. Ulrich Katz ν Abstract Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are promising candidates for hadronic acceleration. The combination of radio, gamma ray and neutrino data should give information on their properties, especially concerning the sources of the high-energetic cosmic rays. Assuming a temporal correlation of gamma and neutrino emission in AGN the background of neutrino telescopes can be reduced using gamma ray lightcurves. Thereby the sensitivity for discovering cosmic neutrino sources is enhanced. In the present work a stacked search for a group of AGN with the ANTARES neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean is presented. The selection of AGN is based on the source sample of TANAMI, a multiwavelength observation program (radio to gamma rays) of extragalactic jets southerly of −30◦ declination. In the analysis lightcurves of the gamma satellite Fermi are used. In an unbinned maximum likelihood approach the test statistic in the background only case and in the signal and background case is determined. For the investigated 10% of data of ANTARES within the measurement time between 01.09.2008 and 30.07.2012 no significant excess is observed. -
Nuclear Physics
Nuclear Physics Overview One of the enduring mysteries of the universe is the nature of matter—what are its basic constituents and how do they interact to form the properties we observe? The largest contribution by far to the mass of the visible matter we are familiar with comes from protons and heavier nuclei. The mission of the Nuclear Physics (NP) program is to discover, explore, and understand all forms of nuclear matter. Although the fundamental particles that compose nuclear matter—quarks and gluons—are themselves relatively well understood, exactly how they interact and combine to form the different types of matter observed in the universe today and during its evolution remains largely unknown. Nuclear physicists seek to understand not just the familiar forms of matter we see around us, but also exotic forms such as those that existed in the first moments after the Big Bang and that exist today inside neutron stars, and to understand why matter takes on the specific forms now observed in nature. Nuclear physics addresses three broad, yet tightly interrelated, scientific thrusts: Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD); Nuclei and Nuclear Astrophysics; and Fundamental Symmetries: . QCD seeks to develop a complete understanding of how the fundamental particles that compose nuclear matter, the quarks and gluons, assemble themselves into composite nuclear particles such as protons and neutrons, how nuclear forces arise between these composite particles that lead to nuclei, and how novel forms of bulk, strongly interacting matter behave, such as the quark-gluon plasma that formed in the early universe. Nuclei and Nuclear Astrophysics seeks to understand how protons and neutrons combine to form atomic nuclei, including some now being observed for the first time, and how these nuclei have arisen during the 13.8 billion years since the birth of the cosmos. -

Furthermore, many of the session conveners provided valuable input to this summary. 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC 2021) July 12th – 23rd, 2021 Online – Berlin, Germany ∗Presenter © Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0). https://pos.sissa.it/ Rapporteur: Neutrinos and Muons Anna Nelles The field of neutrino astronomy already provides exciting results, however,it is still dominated by very low statistics in astrophysical neutrino detections. The most transformative results have been discussed in the multi-messenger context [1] and clearly neutrinos are becoming a target of opportunity for all experiments with a potential sensitivity to them. The neutrino field itself is booming with new ideas for detectors and has reached a maturity in which detailed data analysis and systematic detector calibration are the order of business. To summarize the sentiment: the community is doing their homework to get ready for many more neutrinos, which the broader community is excited about.
