A large number of tau neutrinos can be produced in $pp$ collision at the LHC in the very forward region, where its main source is $D_s^pm$ mesons since the weak boson contribution is negligible. Abundant production of tau neutrinos will allow the precise study of tau neutrino charged current interactions to test lepton universality. In addition, it will provide the opportunity to probe the mixing between sterile neutrinos and tau neutrinos. We evaluate the fluxes and the event rates of the prompt tau neutrinos as well as the theoretical uncertainty using fits to the experimental data for charm meson production. Also, we describe the sterile neutrino masses and mixing angles that can be constrained by tau neutrinos from the LHC.","PeriodicalId":322602,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 21st international workshop on neutrinos from accelerators — PoS(NuFact2019)","volume":"168 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121273333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such oscillation is the clear proof of non-zero neutrino mass since this is caused by the fact that the neutrino mass eigenstates differ from that of the flavor. The neutrinos in the Standard Model, however, are massless leptons, and thus the neutrino flavor oscillation necessitates either the Standard Model to be significantly modified or a new theoretical paradigm to describe the universe better. In order to provide experimental information, it is essential for the properties of the neutrino oscillation be well understood through precision measurements of oscillation parameters, including the mixing angles, determination of the mass hierarchy between the three mass eigenstates and determination of the CP phase (Delta_CP) between neutrino and anti-neutrino oscillations. Among the several next generation neutrino experiments, this presentation covers the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) which, with the high intensity neutrino beam facility, will help accomplish these goals. In this report, I will discuss the current status and plan of the DUNE experiment, including the results of the detector performance studies from the large scale prototype detectors operating at CERN and the timeline for construction and data taking of the experiment, as well as its physics prospects.","PeriodicalId":322602,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 21st international workshop on neutrinos from accelerators — PoS(NuFact2019)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123780064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pure $bar{nu}_{mu}$ beam can be available thanks to the low duty factor of beam spill and 1 MW proton beam power of the MLF. Estimation of the pion production rate is one of the significant challenges in the sterile neutrino search. And therefore, several MC simulations are carried out to understand the uncertainty. In addition to the sterile search, neutrino from kaon decay at rest ($K$DAR) is also an interesting channel to probe neutrino interaction with monogenic energy. The environmental background related to the proton beam was measured using a plastic scintillator detector. Finally, we confirmed that there is almost no environmental background expected for the sterile neutrino search at a distance of 20 m behind the mercury target.","PeriodicalId":322602,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of The 21st international workshop on neutrinos from accelerators — PoS(NuFact2019)","volume":"235 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131780794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
