Research
Professor Andreopoulos’ research is primarily focussed on precision measurements of neutrino mixing and new physics searches in the intensity frontier, neutrino interaction phenomenology and quantum information science.
Precision measurements of neutrino mixing and new physics searches.
I am centrally involved in preparations for the physics exploitation of the Fermilab Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) Program, in particular in the SBN Near Detector (SBND).
I have served as a member of the SBND Executive Committee (2020-2023), member of the SBN Results Approval Committee (2023), chair of the SBND Speakers Committee (2019-2022), SBND Physics co-Coordinator (2017-2023), and Systematics & Oscillation Sensitivity WG co-Coordinator (2018-2022) for the overall SBN programme.
I lead the development of multi-channel sterile neutrino oscillation analyses for SBN, as well as analyses to exploit the SBND-PRISM concepts and high statistics exclusive measurements on SBND to improve to imporove understanding of neutrino-Argon interactions, produce SBND-driven tunes and stringent constraints physics modelling uncertainties, and enable new physics searches at the O(1%) level.
I also participate in the physics exploitation of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) in Southern China. I am excited by the prospect of using atmospheric neutrinos to enhance the overall JUNO sensitivity (in combination with reactor neutrinos), and help JUNO achieve the first definitive neutrino mass-ordering determination. I work in the modelling of atmospheric neutrino interactions, as well as in the development of an atmospheric neutrino oscillation analysis.
Previously, I was a member of the T2K experiment in Japan where, over the past decade, I performed flagship oscillation measurements. I am founder and coordinator of the VALOR fitting group which, from 2010 to present, has produced over 20 reviewed oscillation physics analyses and it has contributed to 12 published T2K papers, an effort culminating in the 2020 Nature paper on T2K neutrino CP violation constraint.
Comprehensive neutrino interaction modelling and global analysis of neutrino scattering data.
I am co-spokesperson of the international GENIE collaboration, and one of the main authors of the well-known GENIE event generator, as well as of the corresponding global analysis of neutrino scattering data informing GENIE tunes. GENIE performs influential phemomenology research in the boundary between nuclear and particle physics, provides a bridge between theory and measurement, and it is a key ingredient in the exploitation effort of many experiments.
