41. Neutrino Theory Overview

Peter Denton (Brookhaven National Laboratory)

5/11/22, 10:30 AM

Neutrino Oscillations

Oral

Neutrino oscillations provide a mechanism to constrain most of the remaining known unknowns in particle physics and are becoming a powerful probe of new physics scenarios. I will discuss the impact of the oscillation parameters on other areas of physics and how we will detect them in neutrino oscillation experiments. I will also discuss some of the latest anomalies in neutrino oscillation data...

65. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment DUNE: Prospective Physics Program and Status

Michael Mooney (Colorado State University)

Neutrino Oscillations

Oral

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) has exciting physics prospects on the horizon, including determining the neutrino mass ordering, measuring \delta_{CP} with sufficient precision to discover CP violation in neutrino oscillation, and detecting neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae and other astrophysical phenomena. DUNE will utilize a high-intensity neutrino beam produced at...

94. Probing Astro- and Particle Physics with Supernova and Solar Neutrinos at SURF

Daniel Pershey (Duke)

5/11/22, 11:40 AM

Supernova & Solar Neutrinos

Oral

We discuss opportunities of experiments at SURF to resolve questions in both astrophysics and particle physics by measuring astroparticle neutrinos. Massive stars produce a core-collapse supernova at the end of their life cycle. In this supernova, the majority of the binding energy of the progenitor star is released as an intense pulse of neutrinos, first observed in SN 1987a. As neutrinos...
