The recent discoveries of the Higgs boson and gravitational waves marked the triumph of two cornerstones of modern physics, the standard model of elementary particles and Einstein’s theory of gravity. However, overwhelming evidence from cosmology suggests that the standard model is inadequate for understanding our universe. There is stuff gravitating that we cannot see with light. In...

Neutrino Properties

Hyper-K will be a next-generation long-baseline neutrino experiment with the goal of measuring neutrino flavour-mixing parameters and discovering CP-phase violation in the neutrino sector. To measure the unoscillated neutrino beam, Hyper-K will make use of the upcoming Intermediate Water-Cherenkov Detector, for which a new multi-photomultiplier photosensor module (mPMT) is being developed....

26. Constructing a Muon Veto System for the MiniHALO Neutrino Detector for Neutrino-lead Cross Section Measurements

Neutrino Properties

In this talk I will summarize my work towards the development of a prototype detector named miniHALO that will be used to test the designed neutrino detection method to be employed in the HALO-1kT supernova neutrino detector. The miniHALO prototype will be placed at the COHERENT underground laboratory where it will be used to make the neutrino-lead cross section measurements at the supernova...

Nuclear and Particle Physics

EMPHATIC (Experiment to Measure the Production of Hadrons At a Testbeam In Chicagoland) is a low-cost, table-top-sized, hadron-production experiment located at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility (FTBF) that will measure hadron scattering and production cross sections that are relevant for neutrino flux predictions. High statistics data will be collected using a minimum bias trigger, enabling...
