The physics motivations and advantages of the new TAIGA (Tunka Advanced Instrument for cosmic ray physics and Gamma Astronomy) array are presented. TAIGA aims to addresses gamma-ray astronomy at energies from a few TeV to several PeV, cosmic ray physics from 100 TeV to several EeV. as well as for search for axion-like particles, Lorentz violations and another evidence of New Physics. In 2020...

Hyper-Kamiokande is a next generation large-scale water Cherenkov detector. Its fiducial volume will be about an order of magnitude larger than Super-Kamiokande and the detector performance is significantly improved with newly developed photo-sensors. Combination of the Hyper-Kamiokande detector with the upgraded J-PARC neutrino beam will provide unprecedented high statistics of the neutrino...

The long baseline neutrino experiment T2K has launched the upgrade project of its near detector ND280, crucial to reduce the systematic uncertainty in the prediction of number of events at the far detector to less than 4%. An essential component of this upgrade is a highly segmented scintillator detector, acting as a fully active target for the neutrino interactions.
We adopt a novel design,...

The nature of the neutrino, namely whether it is a Dirac or Majorana fermion, is a key question with far-reaching implications in particle physics and cosmology. The most sensitive experimental probe in this respect is the search for neutrinoless double beta decay ($\beta\beta 0\nu$), which can only occur if the neutrino is its own antiparticle. A positive detection will provide a first...

An argon scintillation detector has several features that make it attractive for use in various physics projects such as WIMP dark matter search. The detector observes scintillation and/or electroluminescence signals. The main features of the detector are: efficient conversion of energy deposition into observables: powerful particle identification by use of scintillation pulse shape and...

Proportional electroluminescence (EL) in noble gases is used in two-phase detectors for dark matter search to record ionization signals in the gas phase induced by particle scattering in the liquid phase (S2 signals). In this work, the EL pulse shapes in a two-phase argon detector have for the first time been studied systematically in a wide electric field range varying from 3 to 9 Td. The...

The RED-100 is a two-phase xenon emission detector built to study the recently discovered rare process of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering CEvNS. The detector contains ~200 kg of liquid xenon inside a cryostat, with ~100 kg in fiducial volume. The detector is sensitive to the very small level of ionization, down to single ionization electrons. First laboratory tests of the RED-100...

Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) is recently discovered process by the COHERENT collaboration at the SNS accelerator facility (ORNL, USA). A short overview of the COHERENT multi-detector experiment, with the focus on the liquid argon CENNS-10 detector, is given. Data analysis of CENNS-10 science run is presented. Further LAr program at SNS is discussed.
