Aiming at the calibration requirements of neutrino detectors, the single-photoelectron (SPE) responses of an MCP-PMT and a conventional dynode PMT are compared at the waveform level. By analyzing approximately 9 million digitized waveforms, we find that the MCP-PMT charge spectrum exhibits a pronounced high-charge tail. The fraction of events with charges above 3 p.e. is 0.66%, approximately...

The DUNE Near Detector Liquid Argon Detector (ND-LAr) is a modular, pixelated liquid argon time projection chamber designed to faithfully reconstruct neutrino interactions in a very intense beam environment. One of its prototypes, the 2×2 Demonstrator, collected 4.5 days of data in the NuMI antineutrino beam at Fermilab in 2024. We study the pixel-level detector response using the charge...

We present charged-particle topology reconstruction with CANDY, a liquid scintillator detector containing a sparse three-dimensional SiPM array. A simulation-trained, time-informed convolutional neural network achieves median entry- and exit-point residuals of 1.91 cm and 2.39 cm for simulated top-to-bottom through-going muons. Reconstructed endpoints in cosmic-ray muon data are geometrically...

The Neutrino Elastic-scattering Observation with NaI(Tl) (NEON) experiment is designed to detect CEνNS using reactor electron antineutrinos.

Massive stars emit neutrinos during their evolutionary phases, which can serve as an early warning of a nearby core-collapse supernova. However, current detectors are primarily sensitive mainly to silicon burning neutrinos, restricting the warning interval to only a few hours. In contrast, core oxygen burning persists for several months, but the associated neutrinos have lower energies and are...

In water Cherenkov detectors, particle direction is reflected in the spatial and temporal patterns of photomultiplier tube (PMT) signals. Individual PMT hits provide several low-level observables, such as hit position, charge, and timing, while additional directional information may also arise from correlations among these quantities. Understanding how such information is distributed across...

The NEON experiment aims to detect coherent elastic neutrino–nucleus scattering (CEvNS) induced by reactor electron antineutrinos using a 16.5 kg NaI(Tl) detector. The detector is installed at a distance of 23.7 m from the Hanbit Unit-6 reactor core in Yeonggwang, South Korea. Data taking began in April 2022, and stable operations have accumulated 905.7 days of reactor-on data and 303.6 days...

We evaluate the expected performance of a water Cherenkov detector for reactor antineutrino--electron elastic scattering at the RENO near-detector site. The reactor-spectrum normalization is extracted from the reconstructed recoil-electron directional distribution using a constrained profile-likelihood analysis, while the effects of different event-selection thresholds and relevant background...

The NINJA experiment aims to study neutrino–nucleus interactions using nuclear emulsion detectors for high-resolution tracking of final-state particles. A key focus is the detailed study of neutrino interactions on water, providing input for water-based neutrino oscillation experiments such as T2K and Hyper-Kamiokande. As a first step toward the full-data analysis, we study reconstructed muon,...

We investigate a class of baryogenesis scenarios in which the Standard Model is extended by heavy right-handed neutrinos (RHNs) and a scalar leptoquark. The out-of-equilibrium, CP-violating decays of the RHNs into quarks and leptoquarks generate a net $B-L$ asymmetry, which is subsequently converted into a baryon asymmetry through electroweak sphaleron processes. Unlike standard type-I seesaw...

Long-term stability of liquid scintillators (LSs) is essential for maintaining reliable detector performance in neutrino experiments. The addition of diisopropylnaphthalene (DIN) to conventional linear alkylbenzene (LAB)-based scintillators can enhance pulse shape discrimination (PSD) and improve neutron-background rejection. We investigated the long-term stability of a gadolinium-loaded...

Hyper-Kamiokande (HK) will provide unprecedented sensitivity to proton decay searches, offering a unique opportunity to probe grand unified theories through the observation of baryon number violation. The HK proton decay program encompasses multiple decay channels with complementary discovery potential and is expected to extend the search reach well beyond current limits.

Precision neutrino oscillation measurements rely on reconstructing the incident neutrino energy from the observed final state. In neutrino–nucleus interactions, nuclear effects can distort the relationship between reconstructed kinematics and the underlying energy and momentum transfer, introducing model dependence into neutrino-energy reconstruction.
The superscaling variable (ψ′) is...

We study resonant non-Abelian vector dark matter in an $SU(2)_X$ $\times U(1)_{Z'}$ gauge theory broken by a quintuplet dark Higgs field. The resulting gauge-boson mass spectrum naturally realizes a neutral mediator close to twice the dark matter mass, leading to velocity-dependent resonant annihilation in a WIMP-like scenario.

The Hyper-Kamiokande experiment (HK), scheduled to start in 2028, aims to discover nucleon decay predicted by many Grand Unified Theories (GUTs). The ongoing Super-Kamiokande (SK) experiment has been searching for such events, but no sign of proton decay has been observed yet.
