Ultralight dark matter search in a large liquid scintillator detector
Luis A. Delgadillo, O. G. Miranda, Hiroshi Nunokawa
The nature of dark matter remains one of the most profound mysteries in modern physics. In this work, we investigate the phenomenological implications of ultralight scalar dark mat…
Embedded underwater front-end electronics for the 3-inch photomultipliers in the JUNO experiment
Cédric Cerna, Miao He, Xiaoshan Jiang +591
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20-kton liquid scintillator-based, low-radioactivity, multi-purpose neutrino detector located 693 meters (1800 m.w.e.) und…
Impact of New Physics on the JUNO-Long-Baseline Synergy in Neutrino Mass Ordering Determination
Gustavo F. S. Alves, Hiroshi Nunokawa, Renata Zukanovich Funchal
The determination of the neutrino mass ordering is one of the flagship goals in particle physics. A well-known and powerful synergy emerges when combining high-precision measuremen…
Design, waterproofing, and mass production of the 3-inch PMT frontend system of JUNO
Jilei Xu, Miao He, Cédric Cerna +628
Over 25,600 3-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) have been instrumented for the central detector of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory. Each PMT is equipped with a high-v…
Prospects for geoneutrino detection with JUNO
Thomas Adam, Shakeel Ahmad, Rizwan Ahmed +625
Geoneutrinos, which are antineutrinos emitted during the decay of long-lived radioactive elements inside Earth, serve as a unique tool for studying the composition and heat budget…
Sensitivity of Hyper-Kamiokande to sub-eV Sterile Neutrinos
Emilse Cabrera, Arman Esmaili, Hiroshi Nunokawa +1
In this work, we investigate the sensitivity of Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K) to light sterile neutrinos within the framework, consisting of three active and one sterile neutr…
