East Bridge 201 (Richard P. Feynman Lecture Hall)
The next questions in neutrino physics
Ryan Patterson,
Assistant Professor of Physics,
Caltech,
The discovery that neutrinos are massive particles has opened up a host of new questions with connections to particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. The NOvA long-baseline neutrino experiment is addressing the next unknowns in the neutrino sector, including the ordering of the neutrino masses, details of flavor mixing, and whether neutrinos respect CP symmetry. After a review of the physics context, I will discuss NOvA's experimental design, physics program, and recent results. I will also introduce the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), an ambitious next-generation project for neutrino science and nucleon decay searches.
