Wheeler University of Texas, Austin, TX 78712 ABSTRACT At least one kind of supernova is expected to emit a large flux of neutrinos and gravitational radiation because of the collapse of a core to form a neutron star. Such collapse events may in addition occur in the absence of any optical display. The corresponding neutrino bursts can be detected via Cerenkov events in the same water used in proton decay experiments. Dedicated equipment is under construction to detect the gravitational radiation.

  • Required Sensitivity to Search the Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay in 124Sn
    Required sensitivity to search the neutrinoless double beta decay in 124Sn Manoj Kumar Singh,1;2∗ Lakhwinder Singh,1;2 Vivek Sharma,1;2 Manoj Kumar Singh,1 Abhishek Kumar,1 Akash Pandey,1 Venktesh Singh,1∗ Henry Tsz-King Wong2 1 Department of Physics, Institute of Science, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi 221005, India. 2 Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica, Taipei 11529, Taiwan. E-mail: ∗ [email protected] E-mail: ∗ [email protected] Abstract. The INdias TIN (TIN.TIN) detector is under development in the search for neutrinoless double-β decay (0νββ) using 90% enriched 124Sn isotope as the target mass. This detector will be housed in the upcoming underground facility of the India based Neutrino Observatory. We present the most important experimental parameters that would be used in the study of required sensitivity for the TIN.TIN experiment to probe the neutrino mass hierarchy. The sensitivity of the TIN.TIN detector in the presence of sole two neutrino double-β decay (2νββ) decay background is studied at various energy resolutions. The most optimistic and pessimistic scenario to probe the neutrino mass hierarchy at 3σ sensitivity level and 90% C.L. is also discussed. Keywords: Double Beta Decay, Nuclear Matrix Element, Neutrino Mass Hierarchy. arXiv:1802.04484v2 [hep-ph] 25 Oct 2018 PACS numbers: 12.60.Fr, 11.15.Ex, 23.40-s, 14.60.Pq Required sensitivity to search the neutrinoless double beta decay in 124Sn 2 1. Introduction Neutrinoless double-β decay (0νββ) is an interesting venue to look for the most important question whether neutrinos have Majorana or Dirac nature.

  • 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.
