Beyond : Absolute Mass Sensitivity in Neutrino Oscillations
Gustavo F. S. Alves, André L. C. de Gouvêa, Joshua Kaler +2
Conventional wisdom says that neutrino oscillations measure only mass-squared differences and not the absolute neutrino mass scale. This is true, however, only at leading order in…
Asgard/NOTT: Cryogenic characterization of the mid-infrared chip
G. Garreau, D. Defrère, R. Laugier +25
NOTT is part of the new visitor instrument suite Asgard for the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), and the first long-baseline nulling interferometer that will be operatio…
Exploring Exoplanets with Interferometry
Sascha P. Quanz, Bertrand Mennesson, Charles Beichman +27
(Extract from the Executive Summary) Humanity stands at the threshold of answering one of its most profound questions: Does life exist beyond Earth? Ongoing and upcoming space miss…
A preliminary exploration of the effects of baseline length for the LIFE space mission
Jonah T. Hansen, Thomas Birbacher, Felix A. Dannert +7
By aiming to find and characterise dozens of habitable exoplanets through the technique of nulling interferometry, the LIFE space mission will produce transformational science. One…
Continuing to Advance European High Contrast Imaging Research and Development towards HWO and LIFE
Gael Chauvin, Oscar Carrion Gonzalez, Iva Laginja +20
The European Research and Development for Space based High Contrast Imaging II Workshop, held at MPIA in May 2025, advanced Europe strategic coordination in support of future exopl…
Robust Data Interpretation for Perturbed Nulling Interferometers via Proper Handling of Correlated Errors
Philipp A. Huber, Felix A. Dannert, Romain Laugier +4
The detection and atmospheric characterization of potentially habitable, temperate terrestrial exoplanets using a space-based mid-infrared nulling interferometer is a major goal of…
