We study the high-luminosity fixed-target neutrino experiments at MiniBooNE, MINOS and T2K and analyze their sensitivity to light stable states, focusing on MeV--GeV scale dark matter. Thermal relic dark matter scenarios in the sub-GeV mass…
The sterile neutrino interpretation of the LSND and MiniBooNE neutrino anomalies is currently being tested at three Liquid Argon detectors: MicroBooNE, SBND, and ICARUS. It has been argued that a degeneracy between $\nu_\mu \to \nu_e$ and…
The unique constraints on neutrino oscillations which can be obtained by measuring the energy spectrum of supernova $\bar{\nu}_e$'s are first discussed. The focus is on 4-neutrino mass and mixing models capable of explaining the LSND…
Fully understanding the average core-collapse supernova requires detecting the diffuse supernova neutrino background (DSNB) in all flavors. While the DSNB $\bar{\nu}_e$ flux is near detection, and the DSNB $\nu_e$ flux has a good upper…
MiniBooNE at FermiLab should be able to confirm or refute the LSND Decay-in-Flight $\nu_\mu \to \nu_e$ oscillation signal within a few years. The primary evidence of neutrino oscillations from the LSND was in the anti-neutrino channel…
NOvA is a long-baseline neutrino experiment using an off-axis neutrino beam produced by the NuMI neutrino beam at Fermilab. The NOvA experiment will study neutrino $\nu_{\mu}\rightarrow\nu_{e}$ oscillations. A short term goal for the NOvA…
Current and future neutrino experiments can be used to discover dark matter, not only in searches for dark matter annihilating to neutrinos, but also in scenarios where dark matter itself scatters off Standard Model particles in the…
Assuming that dark matter particles interact with quarks via a GeV-scale mediator, we study dark matter production in fixed target collisions. The ensuing signal in a neutrino near detector consists of neutral-current events with an energy…
