Super-Kamiokande(SK) discovered neutrino oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos and solar neutrinos. Also, theta_13 was discovered by the T2K experiment. The future operation of SK will improve accuracy of oscillation parameter measurements. Especially, mass hierarchy in atmospheric neutrinos, spectrum upturn due to the solar matter effect in solar neutrino measurement, and the comparison of...

LAGUNA-LBNO is a Design Study funded by the European Commission to develop the de- sign of a deep underground neutrino observatory; its physics program involves the study of neutrino oscillations at long baselines, the investigation of the Grand Unification of elementary forces and the detection of neutrinos from known and unknown astrophysical sources. Building on the successful format and on...

"GLACIER is is a proposed giant liquid argon next-generation underground neutrino
observatory scalable to masses of 100 kton. Equipped with double phase readout it
provides excellent tracking and calorimetry performance that can outperform other techniques. As proposed by the future European Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation program (LBNO), a neutrino beam from CERN with GLACIER as far...

"One of the fundamental rules of nature and thus of modern physics is represented by the Pauli Exclusion Principle (PEP).
We know that this principle is extremely well fulfilled due to many observations. Many experiments were performed to search for a tiny violation of PEP in various systems with different assumptions. The experiment VIP at the Gran Sasso underground laboratory is searching...

The concepts for SURF were developed with the support of the US National Science Foundation as the site for the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL). The US Department of Energy Office of High Energy Physics now supports the facility operation through Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory that in turn support very important efforts in direct detection of dark matter and...
