Prospects of neutrino oscillation measurements in the detection of reactor antineutrinos with a medium-baseline experiment (2008)

Batygov, Mikhail, Dye, Stephen, Learned, John, Matsuno, Shigenobu, Pakvasa, Sandip, Varner, Gary

Despite the dramatic progress made in neutrino oscillation studies recently, several fundamental neutrino parameters remain either unknown or poorly measured. We discuss in detail a method for their...

Testing the Dark Matter Interpretation of the DAMA/LIBRA Result with Super-Kamiokande (2008)

Feng, Jonathan L., Kumar, Jason, Learned, John, Strigari, Louis E.

We consider the prospects for testing the dark matter interpretation of the DAMA/LIBRA signal with the Super-Kamiokande experiment. The DAMA/LIBRA signal favors dark matter with low mass and high...

Determination of Neutrino Mass Hierarchy and Theta_13 with a Remote Detector of Reactor Antineutrinos (2006)

Learned, John, Dye, Steve, Pakvasa, Sandip, Svoboda, Robert

We describe a method for determining the hierarchy of the neutrino mass spectrum and theta_13 through remote detection of antineutrinos from a nuclear reactor. This method utilizing a single, 10-kt...

Neutrino-induced Collapse of Bare Strange Stars Via TeV-scale Black Hole Seeding (2002)

Gorham, Peter, Learned, John, Lehtinen, Nikolai

There is increasing observational evidence for the existence of strange stars: ultra-compact objects whose interior consists entirely of deconfined quark matter. If confirmed, their existence places...

Sonoluminescence in Neutron Stars (1996)

Simmons, Walter, Learned, John, Pakvasa, Sandip, Tata, Xerxes

After a brief discussion of a possible relationship between the electroweak phase transition in highly compressed matter and gravitational collapse, we examine the speculative possibility that the...
