Indication for the disappearance of reactor electron antineutrinos in the Double Chooz experiment
Y. Abe, C. Aberle, T. Akiri +182
The Double Chooz Experiment presents an indication of reactor electron antineutrino disappearance consistent with neutrino oscillations. A ratio of 0.944 0.016 (stat) 0…
Planck Scale Boundary Conditions and the Higgs Mass
Martin Holthausen, Kher Sham Lim, Manfred Lindner
If the LHC does only find a Higgs boson in the low mass region and no other new physics, then one should reconsider scenarios where the Standard Model with three right-handed neutr…
Qualification Tests of 474 Photomultiplier Tubes for the Inner Detector of the Double Chooz Experiment
C. Bauer, E. Borger, R. Hofacker +9
The hemispherical 10" photomultiplier tube (PMT) R7081 from Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. (HPK) is used in various experiments in particle and astroparticle physics. We describe the tes…
Dark Matter and Neutrino Masses from Global Symmetry Breaking
Manfred Lindner, Daniel Schmidt, Thomas Schwetz
We present a scenario where neutrino masses and Dark Matter are related due to a global symmetry. Specifically we consider neutrino mass generation via the Zee--Babu t…
On the Quantitative Impact of the Schechter-Valle Theorem
Michael Duerr, Manfred Lindner, Alexander Merle
We evaluate the Schechter-Valle (Black Box) theorem quantitatively by considering the most general Lorentz invariant Lagrangian consisting of point-like operators for neutrinoless…
Consistency test of neutrinoless double beta decay with one isotope
Michael Duerr, Manfred Lindner, Kai Zuber
We discuss a consistency test which makes it possible to discriminate unknown nuclear background lines from neutrinoless double beta decay with only one isotope. By considering bot…
Likelihood Approach to the First Dark Matter Results from XENON100
XENON100 Collaboration, E. Aprile, K. Arisaka +43
Many experiments that aim at the direct detection of Dark Matter are able to distinguish a dominant background from the expected feeble signals, based on some measured discriminati…
Phenomenological Consequences of sub-leading Terms in See-Saw Formulas
Hans Hettmansperger, Manfred Lindner, Werner Rodejohann
Several aspects of next-to-leading (NLO) order corrections to see-saw formulas are discussed and phenomenologically relevant situations are identified. We generalize the formalism…
Study of the electromagnetic background in the XENON100 experiment
XENON100 Collaboration, E. Aprile, K. Arisaka +42
The XENON100 experiment, located at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS), aims to directly detect dark matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs)…
