Description

◾Overview

국내 중성미자 분야 이론과 실험 연구자들의 모임인 다섯 번째 "K-Neutrino Symposium 2026"을 전남대학교 중성미자 정밀연구센터 주관으로 개최합니다. 월요일에 진행되었던 "CPNR Scientific Program 2026"과 함께 위 2개의 행사는, 2026년 10월 28일 (수) ~ 30일 (금) 중앙대에서 개최하는 "The 25th International Workshop on Next Generation Nucleon Decay and Neutrino Detectors (NNN26)"의 satellite program의 일환으로 진행됩니다.  

[The 5th "K-Neutrino Symposium 2026," a gathering of domestic theoretical and experimental researchers in the field of neutrinos, will be hosted by the Center for Precision Neutrino Research (CPNR) at Chonnam National University. Along with the "CPNR Scientific Program 2026" held on Monday, these two events will take place as part of the satellite program for "The 25th International Workshop on Next Generation Nucleon Decay and Neutrino Detectors (NNN26)," which will be held at Chung-Ang University from October 28 (Wed) to 30 (Fri), 2026.] 

 

K-Neutrino Symposium 2026에 많은 학생 및 학문 후속세대 연구자들이 참석하여, 발표하고 서로 다양한 논의를 할 수 있는 자리가 되였으면 합니다. 중성미자 연구에 대한 논의, 소통, 교류, 지식 및 경험 공유, 특히 젊은 연구층의 확대를 목적으로 하기 때문에 기본적으로 이해하기 쉬운 프로그램이 되는 것을 목표로 합니다. 관심 있는 많은 연구자들과 학생들의 참여를 기대합니다. 감사합니다.

[We hope the K-Neutrino Symposium 2026 will serve as a venue where many students and researchers of the next generation can attend, present their findings, and engage in diverse discussions. Since the symposium aims to facilitate discussion, communication, exchange, and the sharing of knowledge and experiences regarding neutrino research—specifically to expand the pool of young researchers—we aim to create a program that is basically easy to understand. We look forward to the participation of many interested young researchers and students. Thank you.]

        Distance- and Direction-Dependent Dose Responses of a Portable G-M Detector for Sealed ⁶⁰Co and ²²Na Sources

        Characterization of dose responses according to source-to-detector distance and measurement direction is important for interpreting radiation measurements involving sealed radioactive sources. In this study, a portable Geiger–Müller (G-M) tube detector was evaluated using sealed ⁶⁰Co and ²²Na sources under circumferential and distance-dependent measurement configurations. Measurements were performed at various distances and directions, including the front and rear orientations of the detector. The measured dose decreased markedly with increasing distance for both radionuclides. Direction-dependent variations were also observed at identical source-to-detector distances. In particular, the front and rear measurements exhibited different dose responses, indicating that the effective distance to the sensitive volume and the detector housing geometry influenced the measured values. These findings demonstrate that both distance and detector orientation significantly affect G-M tube responses. Therefore, the detector reference point and measurement direction should be clearly defined and consistently maintained to ensure accurate and reproducible measurements.

        Extending Monopod Reconstruction for the IceCube Upgrade

        We present ongoing work to extend Monopod, a likelihood-based reconstruction algorithm, to electron neutrino events in the IceCube Upgrade. The multi-PMT optical modules require response models that account for individual PMT orientations and sensitivities. We develop photon-response tables and spline parameterizations of the expected light yield and arrival-time distributions for use in Monopod. This poster describes the implementation, preliminary validation with simulated electron neutrino events, and remaining challenges in incorporating Upgrade sensor information into the reconstruction.

        Implications for Inelastic Dark Matter from the LUX-ZEPLIN Nuclear Recoil Event

        Recently, the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment reported a high-energy nuclear-recoil event with a recoil energy of 248 keV.
        Motivated by this event, we study the event-rate calculation for inelastic dark matter–nucleon scattering and apply the formalism to a toy dark matter model.
        We investigate the allowed parameter space and compare our results with bounds from other direct-detection experiments.
        This study provides a framework for exploring inelastic dark matter models in future direct-detection searches.

        Simulation and Computing Status of the RENE Experiment

        The Reactor Experiment for Neutrinos and Exotics (RENE) is a short-baseline reactor neutrino experiment aimed at searching for sterile neutrinos through oscillation measurements at the Hanbit Nuclear Power Plant in Yeonggwang, Korea. The detector consists of a 0.5% gadolinium-loaded liquid scintillator target surrounded by a liquid scintillator gamma catcher and is equipped with 20-inch photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). Currently, the RENE detector is installed at the RENO far site and is taking commissioning physics data. This poster presents the current status of Monte Carlo simulation studies for the RENE experiment. An overview of the computing environment is also provided.

        A ton-scale liquid argon detector for Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering Measurement

        Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEvNS) is known as the predominant interaction channel for neutrinos with energies below 50 MeV. To observe the process, the CENNS-1ton experiment employs a ton-scale single-phase liquid-argon detector. In this presentation, we report on the current status of the CENNS-1ton detector development and deployment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the USA, and discuss the progress of detector R&D for lower-energy-threshold physics studies.
