New Physics Opportunities at Neutrino Facilities: BSM Physics at Accelerator, Atmospheric, and Reactor Neutrino Experiments
read the original abstract
Since the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-standing task at hand in particle physics is the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model, which accounts for only about 5\% of the Universe. In light of this situation, the neutrino sector has drawn significant attention due to neutrino oscillations, which require physics beyond the Standard Model and have prompted a wide array of active and planned experimental programs. Notably, neutrino facilities offer substantial potential to search for new physics beyond neutrino oscillations, owing to their precision measurement capabilities, diverse experimental configurations, and various neutrino sources. This white paper summarizes the landscape of new physics that can be probed at current and future neutrino experiments, categorized into laboratory-produced and cosmogenic signals. We discuss recent experimental results interpreted through the lens of new physics, as well as detailed plans and projected sensitivities of next-generation facilities. This summary is based on presentations from the 4th Workshop on New Physics Opportunities in Neutrino Facilities (NPN 2024), held at IBS in Daejeon, Korea, on June 3-5, 2024. Particular emphasis is placed on accelerator-based neutrino experiments and a range of neutrino programs in East Asia. We also outline key tasks necessary to realize the promising new physics opportunities ahead.

The DAMSA Experiment
DAMSA proposes an ultra-short baseline accelerator experiment to detect short-lived dark sector messengers by overcoming the sensitivity ceiling of longer-baseline beam dump experiments through a compact detector design.
