The ESSnuSB design study: overview and future prospects

ESSnuSB is a design study for an experiment to measure the CP violation in the leptonic sector at the second neutrino oscillation maximum using a neutrino beam driven by the uniquely powerful ESS linear accelerator. The reduced impact of systematic errors on sensitivity at the second maximum allows for a very precise measurement of the CP violating parameter. This review describes the fundamental advantages of measurement at the 2nd maximum, the necessary upgrades to the ESS linac in order to produce a neutrino beam, the near and far detector complexes, the expected physics reach of the proposed ESSnuSB experiment, concluding with the near future developments aimed at the project realization.Comment: 19 pages, 11 figures; Corrected minor error in alphabetical ordering of the authors: the author list is now fully alphabetical w.r.t. author surnames as was intended.

New sources of leptonic cp violation at the dune neutrino experiment

We check the capability of the DUNE neutrino experiment to detect new sources of leptonic CP violation beside the single phase expected in the Standard Model. We illustrate our strategy based on the measurement of CP asymmetries in the case that new physics will show up as nonstandard neutrino interactions and sterile neutrino states and show that the most promising one, once the experimental errors are taken into account in both scenarios, is the one related to the transition

On the role of the ντ appearance in DUNE in constraining standard neutrino physics and beyond

We consider the νμ→ ντ appearance channel in the future Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) which offers a good statistics of the ντ sample. In order to measure its impact on constraining the oscillation parameters, we consider several assumptions on the efficiency for ντ charged-current signal events (with subsequent τ → e decay) and the related backgrounds and study the effects of various systematic uncertainties. Two different neutrino fluxes have been considered, namely a CP-violation optimized flux and a ντ optimized flux. Our results show that the addition of the νμ→ ντ appearance channel does not reduce the current uncertainties on the standard 3-ν oscillation parameters while it can improve in a significant way the sensitivity to the Non-Standard Interaction parameter |∈μτ| and to the new mixing angle θ34 of a sterile neutrino model of the 3 + 1 type

Fat replacement in shortbread cookies using an emulsion filled gel based on inulin and extra virgin olive oil

The European Food Safety Agency recommends low intakes of saturated fatty acids. This study evaluated the replacement of 50% and 100% of butter in shortbread cookies with an emulsion filled gel (EFG) based on inulin and extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), and investigated its impact on product characteristics (volatile profile, fracture behaviour and crumb pore size, sensory properties). Cookies containing both 50% and 100% EFG had thinner pore walls than the control cookies, without EFG. The total substitution of butter with EFG gave products with higher number of small-sized pores and lower level of fracture stress, with poorer sensory properties than control cookies. The replacement of 50% of the butter fraction of shortbread with EFG based on inulin and EVOO did not substantially affect cookie microstructure, compared to control. Cookies with 50% butter replacement showed comparable fracture properties, and were well accepted by consumers, resulting a product with potentially healthier properties (19% less total fat, 39% less saturated fats) respect to control cookies
