Limits on sterile neutrino mixing using atmospheric neutrinos in Super-Kamiokande

Kamiokande Collaboration, K. Abe, Y. Haga +125

We present limits on sterile neutrino mixing using 4,438 live-days of atmospheric neutrino data from the Super-Kamiokande experiment. We search for fast oscillations driven by an e…

Search for neutrinos from annihilation of captured low-mass dark matter particles in the Sun by Super-Kamiokande

Kamiokande Collaboration, K. Choi, K. Abe +110

Super-Kamiokande (SK) can search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) by detecting neutrinos produced from WIMP annihilations occurring inside the Sun. In this analysis…
