Oral presentation in parallel session
There are still several unanswered fundamental questions concerning our planet and in particular, about the deep Earth, from where we lack direct samples. Today, thanks to the progress in neutrino-detection techniques, geoneutrinos, antineutrinos from the decays of long-lived radioactive elements inside the Earth, can be exploited as a new and unique tool to study our planet. Borexino has...

Super-Kamiokande (SK), a 50 kton water Cherenkov detector in Japan,
is observing neutrinos and searching for proton decay and neutrino produced by dark matter.
In solar neutrino analysis, SK studies the effects of both the solar and terrestrial matter density on neutrino oscillations:
a distortion of the solar neutrino energy spectrum would be caused by the edge of the...

The Borexino liquid scintillator neutrino observatory is devoted to perform high- precision neutrino observations: the study of solar neutrinos is the primary goal of the experiment. The exceptional radiopurity together with the good energy resolution (5% at 1 MeV) put Borexino in the unique situation of being able to validate the MSW-LMA oscillation paradigm across the full solar energy...

Oral presentation in parallel session
A large liquid scintillator detector is being planed and actively developed in China JinPing underground laboratory. We envision a 5kt detector at 7000 w.m.e. overburden to target terrestrial, solar and supernovae relic neutrinos. A 1t prototype detector has been installed onsite in 2017. Liquid scintillator performance, radioactive and cosmogenic backgrounds, simulation and analysis pipelines...

Oral presentation in parallel session
Hyper-Kamiokande (Hyper-K) is a proposed next generation neutrino experiment, aiming at the measurement which starts at 2027. Hyper-K project includes a high intensity accelerator neutrino beamline at J-PARC and one or two far detectors. Each far detector will provide the fiducial volume of 0.19 Mt ultra-pure water and water Cherenkov detection, with its cylindrical water tanks surrounded with...
