Abstract The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20 kton liquid
scintillator detector in a laboratory at 700-m underground. An excellent energy resolution …

The next core-collapse supernova in the Milky Way or its satellites will represent a once-in-a-
generation opportunity to obtain detailed information about the explosion of a star and …

The ordering of the neutrino masses is a crucial input for a deep understanding of flavor
physics, and its determination may provide the key to establish the relationship among the …

The observation of neutrino oscillations and hence non-zero neutrino masses provided a
milestone in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model. But even though we now …

A bstract The Neutrino Experiment with a Xenon TPC (NEXT) searches for the neutrinoless
double-beta (0νββ) decay of 136 Xe using high-pressure xenon gas TPCs with …

We evaluate the leading-order short-range nuclear matrix element for the neutrinoless
double-beta (0 ν β β) decay of the nuclei most relevant for experiments, including 76 Ge, 100 …

Analog and digital SiPMs have revolutionized the field of radiation instrumentation by
replacing both avalanche photodiodes and photomultiplier tubes in many applications …

In this paper we report on the characterization of the Hamamatsu VUV4 (S/N: S13370-6152)
Vacuum Ultra-Violet (VUV) sensitive Multi-Pixel Photon Counters (MPPC) s as part of the …
