Proposal: A Search for Sterile Neutrino at J-PARC Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility

M. Harada, S. Hasegawa, Y. Kasugai +25

We propose a definite search for sterile neutrinos at the J-PARC Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF). With the 3 GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) and spallati…

Sensitivity of Super-Kamiokande with Gadolinium to Low Energy Anti-neutrinos from Pre-supernova Emission

C. Simpson, K. Abe, C. Bronner +186

Supernova detection is a major objective of the Super-Kamiokande (SK) experiment. In the next stage of SK (SK-Gd), gadolinium (Gd) sulfate will be added to the detector, which will…

Atmospheric neutrino oscillation analysis with neutron tagging and an expanded fiducial volume in Super-Kamiokande I-V

Kamiokande Collaboration, T. Wester, K. Abe +233

We present a measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters with the Super-Kamiokande detector using atmospheric neutrinos from the complete pure-water SK I-V (April 1996-July 2020…

Vector-axialvector mixing from a chiral effective field theory at finite temperature

M. Harada, C. Sasaki, W. Weise

We study the vector-axialvector mixing in a hot medium and its evolution toward the chiral phase transition using different symmetry restoration scenarios based on the generalized…

Thermal Dilepton Production from Dropping rho based on the Vector Manifestation

M. Harada, C. Sasaki

We study the pion electromagnetic form factor and the dilepton production rate in hot matter using the hidden local symmetry theory as an effective field theory for pions and rho m…

Searching for neutrinos from solar flares across solar cycles 23 and 24 with the Super-Kamiokande detector

K. Okamoto, K. Abe, Y. Hayato +242

Neutrinos associated with solar flares (solar-flare neutrinos) provide information on particle acceleration mechanisms during the impulsive phase of solar flares. We searched using…

Implications of Holographic QCD in ChPT with Hidden Local Symmetry

M. Harada, S. Matsuzaki, K. Yamawaki

Based on the chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) with the hidden local symmetry, we propose a methodology to calculate the large corrections in the holographic QCD (HQCD). As a…
