abstract
A search for muon anti-neutrino to electron anti-neutrino oscillations was conducted by the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center using muon anti-neutrinos from positive muon decay at rest. A total excess of 87.9 +/- 22.4 +/- 6.0 events consistent with electron anti-neutrino plus proton scattering to positron plus neutron was observed above the expected background. This excess corresponds to an oscillation probability of (0.264 +/- 0.067 +/- 0.045), which is consistent with an earlier analysis. In conjunction with other known limits on neutrino oscillations, the LSND data suggest that neutrino oscillations occur in the 0.2-10 eV^2/c^4 Delta-m^2 range, indicating a neutrino mass greater than 0.4 eV/c^2.

Beam-dump experiments for visibly decaying mediators hit an intrinsic sensitivity ceiling in the prompt-decay region that cannot be overcome by more data or better backgrounds, favoring compact portable setups.
DAMSA proposes an ultra-short baseline accelerator experiment to detect short-lived dark sector messengers by overcoming the sensitivity ceiling of longer-baseline beam dump experiments through a compact detector design.
Boosted sub-GeV dark matter from atmospheric cosmic ray bremsstrahlung can be probed by direct detection and neutrino experiments, with enhanced sensitivity near vector mediator resonances.
Final Planck CMB data confirms the flat 6-parameter ΛCDM model with Ω_c h² = 0.120 ± 0.001, Ω_b h² = 0.0224 ± 0.0001, n_s = 0.965 ± 0.004, τ = 0.054 ± 0.007, H_0 = 67.4 ± 0.5 km/s/Mpc, and no strong evidence for extensions.
IceCube DeepCore data constrains non-unitary neutrino mixing with α33 > -0.027 at 90% CL and no evidence for deviation from unitarity.
JUNO's initial 59-day dataset constrains sterile neutrino mass splittings between 10^{-5} and 10^{-2} eV² down to sin²2θ₁₄ ~ O(10^{-1}) and scalar NSI |η_ee| below O(10^{-2}).
A review summarizing the Hubble constant tension and proposed solutions from new physics that restore agreement between Planck CMB data and local H0 measurements within 1-2 sigma.
Neutrino masses are unlikely to share the Standard Model origin of other fermion masses, with the Weinberg effective Lagrangian providing the simplest beyond-Standard-Model mechanism for small Majorana masses.
