Experimental Seminar Series

Large theta13 -- challenge and opportunity

Seminar Date: Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Time: 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM
Location: KAVLI 3rd Floor Conference Room
Abstract: In the past 18 month the notion of a large value of theta13 evolved from fiction to fact. In this talk I will review the impact large theta13 will have on future neutrino oscillation experiments at long and short baselines, specifically as far as the determination of the mass hierarchy is concerned. I also will provide the global context for a potential US program.
Speaker: Patrick Huber - Virginia Tech

Professor Huber obtained his degree in theoretical physics from the Technical University in Munich, Germany in 2003. Since then he has held appointments at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and as a theory fellow at CERN, and he joined Virginia Tech in 2008. He has won a prestigious Otto-Hahn medal from the German Max-Planck society and a DOE Early Career Research Award in 2010. He is co-founder of the Center for Neutrino Physics at Virginia Tech and one of the lead developers of the GLoBES software package which has become the de facto standard in the field of long-baseline neutrino oscillations.
