The groundbreaking discovery of astrophysical neutrinos by IceCube was made above 100TeV where the population becomes easier to distinguish from the atmospheric neutrino background. At high energies above 1PeV more data is needed, and the nature and origin of this astrophysical flux remains largely unknown. Presently we have the capability to obtain a high-purity sample of astrophysical...

To constrain the contribution of source populations to the observed neutrino sky, we consider isotropic and anisotropic components of the diffuse neutrino data. We simulate through-going muon neutrino events by applying statistical distributions for the fluxes of extra-galactic sources and investigate the sensitivities of current (IceCube) and future (IceCube-Gen2 and KM3NeT) experiments. I...

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is a cubic-kilometer Cherenkov detector at the South Pole. The planned Upgrade project, which consists of seven new strings, will be deployed with densely spaced optical modules to improve the neutrino detection capability at a few GeV level. The goal of IceCube Upgrade is to make competitive measurements on neutrino oscillations parameters, and serve as a R&D...

The KM3NeT collaboration is currently building the next generation of large-volume water-Cherenkov neutrino telescopes in the Mediterranean Sea abysses. ORCA, the denser of the two detectors under construction, will instrument about 6 Mton of sea water. It is optimised for the detection of atmospheric neutrinos with energies above ∼1 GeV. The main research target of the ORCA detector is the...

After measuring in 2012 a relatively large value of the neutrino mixing angle θ13, the door is now open to observe for the first time a possible CP violation in the leptonic sector. The measured value of θ13 also privileges the 2nd oscillation maximum for the discovery of CP violation instead of the usually used 1st oscillation maximum. The sensitivity at this 2nd oscillation maximum is about...

The Super-Kamiokande (SK) detector, a large water Cherenkov detector, is well-suited to proton decay searches, with $7.5 \times 10^{33}$ protons in the 22.5 kiloton fiducial volume.
SK has been carried out searches for proton (nucleon) decay via many decay modes, like
$p \rightarrow e^{+}\pi^{0}$, $p \rightarrow \mu^{+}\pi^{0}$, $p \rightarrow \bar{\nu}K^{+}$, and many other decay...
