We describe the design, the equipment, and the calibration of a new GPS based time link between CERN and the Borexino experiment at the Gran Sasso Laboratory in Italy. This system has been installed and operated in Borexino since March…
The GERDA collaboration is performing a search for neutrinoless double beta decay of ^{76}Ge with the eponymous detector. The experiment has been installed and commissioned at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso and has started…
Future neutrino projects in Europe will follow two distinct time lines. On the medium term, they will be dominated by the CERN-Gran Sasso long-baseline project, with two experiments OPERA and ICARUS, mainly concentrated on $\tau$…
The OPERA experiment is searching for nu_mu -> nu_tau oscillations in appearance mode i.e. via the direct detection of tau leptons in nu_tau charged current interactions. The evidence of nu_mu -> nu_tau appearance has been previously…
This review focuses on the expected performance of the ATLAS and CMS detectors at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), together with some of the highlights of the global commissioning work done in 2008 with basically fully operational…
The Beta Beam CERN design is based on the present LHC injection complex and its physics reach is mainly limited by the maximum rigidity of the SPS. In fact, some of the scenarios for the machine upgrades of the LHC, particularly the…
A stream of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) gravitationally scattered outwards within the Earth yields a delay, \delta t \simeq 60 ns, in good agreement with the results of the OPERA experiment. Conversely, the OPERA experiment…
The OPERA experiment aims at measuring the \nu_{\mu} -> \nu_{\tau} oscillation through the \nu_{\tau} appearance in an almost pure \nu_{\mu} beam (CNGS). For the direct identification of the short-lived {\tau} lepton, produced in \nu_{\tau}…

The claim of a neutrino velocity different from the speed of the light, made in September 2001 by the Opera experiment, suggested the study of the time delays between TeV underground muons in the Gran Sasso laboratory using the old data of…
The FASER experiment is located in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) complex at CERN, 480 m downstream of the ATLAS collision point and aligned with the beam-collision-axis. The experiment was designed to search for light, weakly-interacting…
The main task of the Target Tracker detector of the long baseline neutrino oscillation OPERA experiment is to locate in which of the target elementary constituents, the lead/emulsion bricks, the neutrino interactions have occurred and also…
The OPERA experiment, designed to conclusively prove the existence of $\rm \nu_\mu \to \nu_\tau$ oscillations in the atmospheric sector, makes use of a massive lead-nuclear emulsion target to observe the appearance of $\rm \nu_\tau$'s in…
Recent results from the OPERA experiment reported a neutrino beam traveling faster than light. The experiment measured the neutrino time of flight (TOF) over a baseline from the CERN to the Gran Sasso site. The neutrino beam arrives 60 ns…
I observe that, as the physics side of the OPERA-anomaly story is apparently unfolding, there can still be motivation for philosophy of science to analyze the six months of madness physicists spent chasing the dream of a new…
In this report are recalled in a simple form some of the main concepts about neutrinos, starting from their discovery and classifying them in the Standard Model of the Microcosm. Then are presented the main natural sources of neutrinos,…
