| Title: | Testing the heavy decaying sterile neutrino hypothesis at the DUNE near detector |
| Date (JST): | Fri, Mar 28, 2025, 13:30 - 15:30 |
| Place: | Seminar Room A |
| Abstract: |
A decaying sterile neutrino with mass in the 10 keV - 1 MeV range could explain the long-standing anomalies observed by the short-baseline oscillation experiments LSND and MiniBooNE. After having reviewed the status of these anomalies, I will introduce the heavy decaying sterile neutrino scenario and show that it can be tested at the DUNE near detector, with a better sensitivity than the Short-Baseline Neutrino program at Fermilab. I will then discuss the possibility to distinguish between Dirac and Majorana neutrinos, assuming this scenario is realized in Nature. |
