T2K is an off-axis long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment optimised to measure theta13 and deltaCP using a muon neutrino beam. The most sensitive mode is to look for electron neutrino appearance, and the dominant background for such…
We explore the feasibility of detecting heavy neutrinos by the existing facilities of neutrino experiments. A heavy neutrino in the mass range 1 MeV < M < 500 MeV is produced by pion or kaon decay, and decays to charged particles which…
An analysis technique for isolating neutrino interactions on hydrogen, from a target containing a mixture of different nuclei, would provide numerous benefits. Namely, hydrogen is free of nuclear effects and enables better reconstruction of…
It has been recently shown that excess events observed by the LSND and MiniBooNE neutrino experiments could be interpreted as a signal from the radiative decay of a heavy sterile neutrino \nu_h produced in \nu_\mu neutral current-like…

Since its first observation in the 1970s, neutrino-induced neutral-current single positive pion production (NC1$\pi^+$) has remained an elusive and poorly understood interaction channel. This process is a significant background in neutrino…
The MiniBooNE experiment has reported results from the analysis of $\nu _e$ and $\bar \nu _e$ appearance searches, which show an excess of signal-like events at low reconstructed neutrino energies, with respect to the expected background. A…
