DAEδALUS is a proposed phased neutrino physics program consisting of two flagship experiments: a search for CP violation in the neutrino sector and a definitive search for sterile neutrinos. Ultimately, DAEδALUS will comprise several accelerator-based modules located at three different distances from a single, large underground detector such as LENA, MEMPHYS, or Hyper-K. Each of these modules...

The European Spallation Source (ESS) linac with 5 MW proton-power has the potential to become the proton driver of - in addition to the world’s most intense pulsed spallation neutron source - the world’s most intense neutrino beam. The physics performance of that neutrino Super Beam in conjunction with a megaton Water Cherenkov neutrino detector installed 1000 m down in a mine at a distance of...

Massive neutrinos provide the first hints at physics beyond the standard model. The NOvA experiment is poised to further refine our understanding of neutrino mixing, one of the implications of neutrino mass. A long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment in the Fermilab NuMI neutrino beam line, NOvA employs two detectors, hundreds of km apart. Comparisons of the beam composition at the...

Scintillator detectors are known for their good light yield, energy resolution, timing characteristics and pulse shape discrimination capabilities. These features make the next-generation liquid scintillation detector LENA (Low Energy Neutrino Astronomy) the optimal choice for a wide range of astroparticle topics including supernova-, solar-, and geo neutrinos. In addition to the excellent...

"Using the Magnus expansion of the evolution operator in the adiabatic basis, we find an approximate solution to the problem of three–neutrino oscillations in a medium with a symmetric, but otherwise arbitrary, density profile. The evolution operator of the system is written as the product of factors corresponding to effective two-neutrino problems for a low and a high energy regime.
