Wednesday morning: Neutrino
- Jon Erik Urheim (Indiana University)
The observation of neutrino oscillations provides striking evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model. While multiple neutrino experiments continue to constrain oscillation rates and mass values, one fundamental question remains unanswered: How do neutrinos get their mass? Many theoretical models exist, but so far none of them have been experimentally confirmed. In this talk I will present...
Tau-flavored neutrinos are, arguably, the least understood particles of the Standard Model. Given the relatively small experimental data considering them, it's natural to ask whether new physics could lie just beneath the surface of our understanding. In this talk, I will discuss how studying tau neutrinos in next-generation facilities may allow us to uncover new physics associated with...
The discovery that neutrinos oscillate was one of the first indications of physics beyond the Standard Model. That is, the addition of neutrino masses to the Standard Model requires, at minimum, three new sterile states. Furthermore, models seeking to explain the smallness of neutrino masses lead to a direct connection between observed neutrino masses and physics at very high mass scales. ...
