| Abstract: | Neutrino physics is entering the precision era. To move forward, we must develop new, powerful sources for neutrinos that have well-understood fluxes. Sources that use decay-at-rest of isotopes, pions and muons are ideal because the particle content and the energy distribution of the neutrinos are well understood. I will explain why cyclotrons are ideal drivers for these sources, and discuss progress in producing machines that deliver ~1 MW of proton beam power and beyond. |
| Speaker: | Janet Conrad - MIT
 Professor Conrad earned her B.A. from Swarthmore College, her M.Sc. from Oxford University and her Ph.D., in 1993, from Harvard University. She was a postdoctoral researcher and then faculty with Columbia University. She then moved to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She has worked in the field of neutrino studies for 20 years, and was co-spokesperson of the MiniBooNE experiment. She is now participating on Double Chooz and MicroBooNE and is co-spokesperson of the DAEdALUS program.
