NuPhys2018: Prospects in Neutrino Physics

19 Dec 2018, 08:30 → 21 Dec 2018, 18:00 UTC

Cavendish Centre

Andrew Furmanski (University of Manchester), Antonio Marrone (University of Bari & INFN), Antonio Palazzo (University of Bari & INFN), Arsenii Titov (IPPP, Durham University), Benjamin Richards (QMUL), Brajesh Choudhary (University of Delhi), Emilio Ciuffoli (IMP, CAS), Francesca di Lodovico (QMUL), Guiseppe Salamanna (Roma Tre University & INFN), Jeanne Wilson (QMUL), Lino Miramonti (Milano University & INFN), Teppei Katori (QMUL)

Several future neutrino experiments are planned worldwide to address unresolved issues in neutrino physics and to shape the future direction of particle physics. NuPhys2018 will discuss the current status of these experiments, with a particular focus on their prospective performance and physics reach.

This conference will be unique in addressing the synergy between the planned experiments and their phenomenological aspects and very timely as the design of those experiments is currently ongoing. The latest results will be presented from both theory and experiment.

To encourage and facilitate the participation of early-career researchers and PhD students, a poster session will be a key activity of the meeting. Poster presenters will also give a short presentation on their poster. Prizes to the best two experimental and best two theory posters, based on the participants' votes, will be awarded.

Topics:

• Theoretical and phenomenological perspectives
• Future long and short baseline neutrino oscillation experiments
• Reactor neutrinos and fluxes
• Neutrinoless double beta decay
• Solar, atmospheric and supernova neutrinos
• Neutrino cosmology

NEW: the deadline for submissions to the NuPhys2018 Proceedings is extended to Monday, 15 April 2019.

Wednesday 19 December
