KM3NeT is an underwater neutrino telescope located at two sites in the Mediterranean sea. Neutrinos are indirectly detected from the products of their interactions, which produce Cherenkov radiation. The ORCA detector is designed to measure atmospheric neutrino oscillations, and the ARCA detector is designed to search for neutrinos from astrophysical sources. In tandem with the primary...
The KM3NeT Collaboration is constructing the KM3NeT/ORCA detector at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of Toulon, France. This neutrino telescope is optimized for GeV neutrino detection, with primary goals of determining the neutrino mass ordering and measuring oscillation parameters in the atmospheric neutrino sector. Data collected with intermediate configurations of 6,...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment under construction in the US. In this talk we will describe the physics of DUNE, also outside the oscillations realm, and the Dutch participation in the experiment.
The Radar Echo Telescope is currently deployed and taking data for 2024 at the summit station at Greenland. The ultimate objective of the Radar Echo Telescope is to detect high-energy cosmic neutrinos with the Radar Echo Telescope for Neutrinos (RET-N). We have observed radar reflections from particle cascades in a lab setting at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. The extensive air shower...
The main challenge in detecting ultra-high energy (UHE) neutrinos is discriminating a neutrino-induced shower in the background of showers initiated by ultra-high energy nuclei. The resulting shower development from neutrinos exhibits different characteristics from hadron-induced showers because neutrinos penetrate the atmosphere more deeply than hadrons. This study focuses on...
The Galactic origin of multi-PeV cosmic rays is still a mystery, but recent LHAASO results indicate that regions of PeV gamma-ray emission are often associated with starforming regions. The question is then whether there are in these starforming regions there are single PeVatrons sources, such as a power (past) supernova remnant, a powerful pulsar, or one or multiple strong stellar wind...
The ongoing inclusion of the Radio Detector (RD) in the AugerPrime Observatory marks a significant advancement in the observatory's capabilities. The Pierre Auger observatory has enhanced our understanding of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) for the past two decades. By equipping each of the 1660 detector stations and spanning an area of 3000 km2 with radio antennas, the observatory will...
The AugerPrime upgrade at the Pierre Auger Observatory marks a pivotal development in ultra-high-energy cosmic ray (UHECR) research. This enhancement equips the observatory with advanced detection capabilities, aimed at providing deeper insights into the properties and origins of cosmic rays with energies above 1 EeV. The presentation will covers the potential implementation of a self-Radio...
As we move towards the next generation of gravitational wave (GW) detections, data analysis techniques pertaining to detection, denoising and parameter inference need to be highly specialised. Ever increasing duty cycles result in a signal dominated era of GWs which brings about its own host of challenges for science interpretation from such data. Is there a way to go about using...
