Neutrino oscillation offers a precise measurement of the lepton mixing (PMNS) matrix, including the CP violation phase, and sensitive search windows for new physics, such as new mass eigenstates (sterile neutrinos) and interactions beyond the standard model through matter oscillation effects. In this presentation, an overview of the neutrino oscillation experiments with a focus on the next...

T2K is a neutrino experiment that measures neutrino and antineutrino oscillations using a long baseline of 295km, from the neutrino beam source at JPARC in Japan, to the Super-Kamiokande detector in Kamioka. The ND280 near detector at JPARC measures the properties of the neutrino beam prior to oscillations, while SuperK measures the beam after oscillations.

The measurement of atmospheric neutrinos led to the discovery of neutrino oscillations 27 years ago. Since, they have developed into a valuable tool for precision measurements of neutrino properties and for searches of physics beyond the Standard Model. Their propagation through the Earth is strongly affected by matter effects, which makes them a perfect probe to pin down the neutrino mass...

Foundation Models (FMs), such as Large Language Models (LLMs), have dramatically transformed many aspects of modern workflows. FMs are machine learning (ML) models designed to learn flexible and general representations of data, which can then be adapted to solve a wide variety of tasks. Successful pre-training yields a model with a broad range of applications, and fine-tuning further optimizes...

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is an ambitious research program in neutrino physics under construction at Fermilab and the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF). Neutrino oscillations have led to the discovery that neutrinos have nonzero masses. The current model describes the oscillation phenomenon in terms of three mixing angles and one CP-violating phase. Within the...

Non-standard interactions (NSI) are a compelling beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) framework for explaining the tensions between the T2K experiment and the $\operatorname{NO\nu A}$ experiment results.

Neutrino mass is a fundamental parameter of particle physics with important implications for cosmology and the Standard Model of particle physics. Despite of almost 100 years of experimental effort, its absolute scale remains unknown. Over that period, direct kinematic measurements, searches for neutrino-less double beta decay, and oscillation experiments have progressively put constraints on...

Neutrinoless double beta (0ฮฝฮฒฮฒ) decay offers a means to explore whether neutrinos are massive Majorana fermions, i.e., their own antiparticles, and thus a portal between matter and antimatter. The EXO-200 experiment operated between 2011 and 2018 at the WIPP underground site in New Mexico, USA, setting some of the strongest constraints on the existence of this decay in 136Xe. EXO-200 was a...
