Special EPP Seminar: New Paths in Neutrino Physics

Seminar Date: Thursday, February 7, 2013
Time: 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM
Location: KIPAC Auditorium
Abstract: Compelling evidence gathered over the last decade indicates that neutrinos have nonzero masses and that leptons mix. But these exciting developments may be just the beginning. There are now many paths that neutrino physicists can follow. In this talk, I will focus on searches for new physics using neutrinos with energies in the MeV to GeV range. I will highlight the development of new tools - new beams and new detectors – that are helping us move forward, and I will consider where the field might find itself at the end of the next decade.
