This Letter presents results of a search for the mixing of a sub-eV sterile neutrino with three active neutrinos based on the full data sample of the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment, collected during 3158 days of detector operation, which contains 5.55×10^{6} reactor ν[over ¯]_{e} candidates identified as inverse beta-decay interactions followed by neutron capture on gadolinium. The analysis benefits from a doubling of the statistics of our previous result and from improvements of several important systematic uncertainties.

In modern rare-event search experiments such as neutrino experiments and dark matter search experiments, radon is one of the most important radiation backgrounds since it can emanate from nearly all the materials containing radium and migrate freely in the experiment system. To support the China Dark Matter Experiment (CDEX) at China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL), a series of high-sensitivity radon detection systems with different electrostatic collection chambers were designed, and radon in nitrogen as well as boil-off liquid nitrogen was measured after accurate calibration and enrichment. Results showed that the calibration factors were 2.

We report on a search for a heavy Majorana neutrino in the decays τ^{-}→π^{-}ν_{h}, ν_{h}→π^{±}ℓ^{∓}, ℓ=e, μ. The results are obtained using the full data sample of 988 fb^{-1} collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy e^{+}e^{-} collider, which contains 912×10^{6} ττ pairs. We observe no significant signal and set 95% CL upper limits on the couplings of the heavy right-handed neutrinos to the conventional standard model left-handed neutrinos in the mass range 0.
