Recent progress in the development of the detectors for neutrino oscillation experiments will be presented. The near and far detectors in current accelerator (T2K, NOVA) and reactor experiments will be described. An emphasis will be put on the neutrino detectors for the next generation oscillation experiments: a huge water Cherenkov detector HyperKamiokande, large volume liquid argon...

Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) has chosen liquid argon (LAr) technology for the detection of neutrinos produced with proton beams at Fermilab and transmitted 1300 km through the Earth towards the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in South Dakota. Two basic configurations for LAr TPC are considered: a single phase and a dual phase. The former has already worked as a 300...

Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is under construction in southern China which aims to measure the neutrino mass hierarchy and neutrino oscillation parameters using the reactor neutrinos from two nearby nuclear power plants 53km away. JUNO also has good capabilities of researches such as supernova neutrinos, geo-neutrinos, solar neutrinos and so on. Here the instrumentation of...

Hyper-Kamiokande is a Large water Cherenkov detectors, such as the successful Super-Kamiokande, and the forthcoming Hyper-Kamiokande requires large aperture, high sensitivity photosensors able to detect the weak Cherenkov light generated by neutrino interactions or proton decay. As a consequence, the capability of a water Cherenkov detector largely relies on the performance of its...

The experiment on first observation of the elastic coherent scattering of neutrino off atomic nuclei is proposed with the use of the RED-100 emission two-phase xenon detector. This process was theoretically predicted more than 40 years ago by the Standard model of particle physics but has not been observed yet because of lack of the detection technique of the events with the low energy...

Direct search for dark matter particles (WIMP - Weakly Interacting Massive Particle) is
produced in the detectors of recoil nuclei through observation of WIMP elastic scattering on
atomic nuclei of detector matter. The current situation with the observation signals from dark
matter particles is quite confusing. Some authors believe that one of the reasons for these
differences among...

The TAIGA observatory addresses ground-based gamma-ray astronomy at energies from a few TeV to several PeV, as well as cosmic ray physics from 100 TeV to several EeV. TAIGA will be located in the Tunka valley, ~50 km West from Lake Baikal. The different detectors of the TAIGA will be grouped in 6 arrays to measure Cherenkov and radio emission as well as electron and muon components of...

To effectively detect elusive particles the use of a detector with high efficiency and enhanced sensitivity is required. Cryogenic scintillating bolometers are among the most promising detectors used for the investigation of rare nuclear processes due to their excellent background rejection capabilities thanks to the simultaneous and independent, double readout of heat and scintillation light...

A new NEVOD-EAS array for detection of extensive air showers (EAS) in the energy range $10^{15}-10^{17} eV$ is being created in MEPhI (Moscow, Russia) on the basis of the Experimental Complex NEVOD. It will operate in conjunction with the Cherenkov Water Detector NEVOD and coordinate detector DECOR, as well as with detectors URAN and TREK which are now being constructed. The array will allow...

Antimatter experiments conducted at the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) at CERN address the fundamental questions why primordial antimatter is not observed in the present Universe. The weak equivalent principle (WEP) can be tested measuring the gravitational acceleration of antihydrogen atoms in the Earth's gravitational field that are
horizontally emitted from a Penning trap. The antihydrogen...
