The ICARUS collaboration employed the 760-ton T600 detector in a successful 3-year physics run at underground LNGS laboratory, performing sensitive search for LSND-like anomalous νe appearance CERN Neutrino to Gran Sasso beam, which contributed constraints on allowed neutrino oscillation parameters narrow region around 1 eV2. After significant overhaul CERN, has been installed Fermilab. In 2020 cryogenic commissioning began with cool down, liquid argon filling and recirculation. then started...

Abstract Observations of the TeV halos associated with nearby pulsars indicate that these objects inject significant fluxes very high-energy electron-positrons pairs into interstellar medium (ISM), thereby likely providing dominant contribution to cosmic-ray positron flux. In this paper, we use fraction as measured by AMS-02 Collaboration constrain characteristics local pulsar population. For reasonable model parameters, find can obtain good agreement up energies E e ∼ 300 GeV. At higher...

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) are not only called for to ensure morality justice in our society, they also support ongoing future excellence particle physics. Over the past decade, physics community has devised programs DEIA along multiple axes, way we think about measuring implementing these initiatives evolved. is a broad topic, so this paper focus on experiences of marginalized communities outline ways different stakeholders can build culture equitable access...

We investigate the impact of matter effects on T (time-reversal)-odd observables, making use quantum-mechanical formalism neutrino-flavor evolution. attempt to be comprehensive and pedagogical. Matter-induced T-invariance violation (TV) is qualitatively different from, more subtle than, matter-induced CP (charge-parity)-invariance violation. If distribution symmetric relative neutrino production detection points, will not introduce any new TV. However, if there intrinsic TV, can modify size...

The pursuit of knowledge in particle physics requires constant learning. As new tools become available, theories are developed, and physicists search for answers with ever-evolving methods. However, it is the case that formal educational systems serve as primary training grounds physicists. Graduate school (and undergraduate to a lesser extent) where researchers learn most technical skills required research, develop scientific problem-solving abilities, how establish themselves their field,...

To develop an increase in societal interest the fundamental sciences of particle physics and particularly for maintaining support structures needed to succeed experiments that take several decades complete, requires strong educational back-grounding at all levels instructional system notably early stages process. While many (particularly young) students might show aptitude science mathematics elementary level, are not necessarily place capture, nurture such nascent interests. encourage...
