Impact of COHERENT measurements, cross section uncertainties and new interactions on the neutrino floor

D. Aristizabal Sierra et al.

Summary: In this study, the discovery limit of multi-ton direct detection dark matter experiments is reconsidered in light of recent measurements of the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering process. By using a data-driven approach and considering the effects of subleading nuclear form factor and weak mixing angle uncertainties, new WIMP discovery limits are determined. Additionally, the impact of new physics effects in the neutrino background is quantified.

Summary: This article discusses the application of liquid xenon (and liquid argon) bubble chambers in dark matter searches and reactor CE.NS, as well as the work of the PICO collaboration in nuclear recoil efficiency calibration. The custom Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach used to address the challenge of fitting the multi-dimensional model to the data is highlighted.

Non-unitary leptonic flavor mixing and CP violation in neutrino-antineutrino oscillations

Yilin Wang et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the CP violation in neutrino-antineutrino oscillations with a non-unitary leptonic flavor mixing matrix. By deriving the oscillation probabilities and calculating the CP asymmetries, we find that the CP asymmetries induced by non-unitary mixing parameters can significantly deviate from the limit of unitary leptonic flavor mixing.

Probing nonunitary neutrino mixing via long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments based at J-PARC

C. Soumya

Summary: This paper investigates the capability of long-baseline experiments using neutrinos from the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex to establish the unitarity of active-neutrino mixing. It is found that T2HK can establish the unitarity of active neutrino mixing at above 2 sigma C.L. for a certain range of the nonunitary parameter alpha(21). The paper also discusses the limit on the nonunitary parameter in the 21 sector and the sensitivity limit of these experiments in determining the nonunitary parameter. The results show that the sensitivity limit of T2HK on the nonunitary parameter is better than that of both T2HKK and T2K.

First Measurement of Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering on Argon

D. Akimov et al.

Summary: We present the first measurement of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) on argon using a liquid argon detector at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Spallation Neutron Source. Two independent analyses support CEvNS over the background-only null hypothesis with more than 3 sigma significance. The measured cross section, averaged over the incident neutrino flux, is (2.2 +/- 0.7) x 10(-39) cm(2)-consistent with the standard model prediction, confirming the existence of the CEvNS process and providing improved constraints on nonstandard neutrino interactions.

Constraints on Elastic Neutrino Nucleus Scattering in the Fully Coherent Regime from the CONUS Experiment

H. Bonet et al.

Summary: In this study, the CONUS detectors at the Brokdorf nuclear power plant in Germany were used to measure the coherent elastic scattering of electron antineutrinos emitted from a reactor off germanium nuclei, determining an upper limit of 85 neutrino events at a 90% confidence level. The results disfavor quenching parameters above 0.27.

Bound on 3+1 Active-Sterile Neutrino Mixing from the First Four-Week Science Run of KATRIN

M. Aker et al.

Summary: The KATRIN experiment conducted a search for light sterile neutrinos during its first four-week science run in 2019. The analysis focused on the mass of the fourth mass state and active-to-sterile neutrino mixing, with exclusion bounds reported on the sterile mass and mixing. These new limits surpass previous results and improve constraints on certain parameters in the field of neutrino physics.

Summary: This study calculates the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering cross sections on spin-0 nuclei at energies below 100 MeV within the Standard Model, considering various effects and providing a complete error budget. It finds that the cross section can be predict with competitive precision for low neutrino energies. The research highlights potential applications for the precise cross section prediction, ranging from precision tests of the Standard Model to monitoring nuclear reactors.

The physics potential of a reactor neutrino experiment with Skipper CCDs: measuring the weak mixing angle

Guillermo Fernandez-Moroni et al.

Summary: This experiment aims to detect coherent elastic neutrino nucleus scattering from reactor neutrinos using a kilogram-scale Skipper CCD detector deployed near a commercial nuclear reactor core. By choosing a realistic experimental setup and analyzing various factors, including uncertainties, background rate, total exposure, and reactor antineutrino flux, the experiment may provide a competitive measurement of the weak mixing angle at a few MeV scale with neutrino-nucleus scattering.

Nonunitary neutrino mixing in short and long-baseline experiments

D. V. Forero et al.

Summary: Nonunitary neutrino mixing in the light neutrino sector can lead to new sources of CP violation and requires additional parameters to describe neutrino oscillations, yet no significant deviation from unitary mixing was observed in experimental data. By combining different data sets, constraints on nonunitarity parameters were obtained, and tension between T2K and NOvA in determining the Dirac CP-phase was observed.

Summary: Utilizing new data from the COHERENT experiment, we determined a new measurement of the average neutron rms radius of Cs-133 and I-127, further obtaining corresponding neutron skin values for the isotopes. The preference for models predicting large neutron skin values is supported by the results, and the slightly higher value of the low-energy weak mixing angle compared to the standard model prediction was observed for the first time.
