The Road to Precision in Neutrino Physics: The Road to Precision in Neutrino Physics
- Deborah A Harris (York U., Canada)
Description
Neutrino Oscillations are one of the precious few signatures of beyond the standard model physics. Oscillation measurements can give us new insight into what generates particle masses and what might generate the abundance of matter over antimatter that we currently enjoy. Making precision oscillation measurements is challenging due to the small mass differences among neutrinos, and their tiny probability to interact with matter . We as a field need a thorough understanding of the way neutrinos interact in nuclei to get to an oscillation probability as a function of neutrino energy. This talk will review the next steps in oscillation physics as well as a few recent neutrino interaction measurements from the MINERvA experiment that are helping to lay the foundations for future experiments.
