Physics Colloquium

Neutrinos are fascinating elementary particles that help us understand the makeup of our universe as well as the sources that produce them. As the most intense human-made source of neutrinos ever built, nuclear reactors have been used to study these elusive particles since their discovery in 1956. In this talk, I will give an overview of the current landscape in reactor neutrino physics. I will first discuss the legacy of current-generation experiments, followed by the opportunities offered by a next-generation project currently under construction that is taking the field to the next level in terms of scale and complexity. I will end by briefly describing a novel approach for neutrino detection with tantalizing prospects for reactor neutrinos and beyond.
