- Abstract
- <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>THEIA is a proposed large-scale neutrino experiment based on advanced liquid scintillator and readout by high-quantum efficiency and fast photosensors. In order to combine the advantages of water Cherenkov detectors (i.e. large mass, direction reconstruction and low cost) with the ones of liquid scintillator (high light yield, low threshold) THEIA will deploy a Water-based Liquid Scintillator, which is currently at the center of an active R&D program. This detector concept has the potential to pursue a broad physics program that is summarized in this contribution. As a long baseline experiment installed at Homestake, THEIA will be complementary to the forthcoming DUNE experiment for the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy and of the CP phase. At the same time, the low energy threshold and efficient neutron tagging makes THEIA an excellent detector for solar and supernova neutrinos measurements as well as for the search of neutrinoless <jats:italic>ββ</jats:italic>-decay and of other rare phenomena.</jats:p>
