Low energy precision tests of the Standard Model
Oral
The Project 8 collaboration has recently demonstrated the novel technique of Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy (CRES) and aims to perform a high precision measurement of the beta decay spectrum of tritium around the endpoint region (Q = 18.6 keV) to investigate the anti-electron neutrino mass scale. I will present first measurements using 83mKr and the phased program towards...

Low energy precision tests of the Standard Model

NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment at Fermilab. It uses two functionally-identical detectors at a distance of 810 km to measure electron-neutrino appearance and muon-neutrino disappearance in the NuMI muon
neutrino beam.
These measurements address the remaining unknowns in neutrino oscillations: the mass hierarchy, the 𝜃23 octant and possibly the CP violation in the...

Low energy precision tests of the Standard Model
Oral
K+->pi+nunu is one of the theoretically cleanest meson decay where to look for indirect effects of new physics complementary to LHC searches. The NA62 experiment at CERN SPS is designed to measure the branching ratio of this decay with 10% precision. NA62 took data in pilot runs in 2014 and 2015 reaching the final designed beam intensity. The quality of data acquired in view of the final...

Low energy precision tests of the Standard Model
Oral
A precision test of lepton universality in the leptonic decay ratio for positive kaons $R_K$ = $K_{e2}/K_{\mu2}$ has been carried out with stopped kaons at J-Parc by the TREK Collaboration (Experiment E36). The Standard Model (SM) prediction for $R_K$ is very precise with an uncertainty of $\Delta R_K/R_K $ = 4 x $10^{-4}$. An observed deviation from this would be an indication of New Physics...
