5th New Physics Opportunities at Neutrino Facilities Workshop (NPN 2025)

18 Jun 2025, 08:00 → 20 Jun 2025, 12:30 US/Eastern

Alexandre Sousa (University of Cincinnati (US))

This workshop is the fifth in the series titled New Physics Opportunities at Neutrino Facilities (NPN), which aims to bring together both theorists and experimentalists and actively discuss new opportunities at the current and next-generation neutrino facilities in probing new physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). 

The workshop's focus this year will be on understanding to which level current and future experiments can measure deviations from unitarity of the three-neutrino mixing matrix, and how we can interpret theoretically any deviations observed as new physics.

The NPN 2025 workshop will be held June 18-20, 2025 in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, organized by the University of Cincinnati.

The standard registration fee is $100, and the Early-Career (Students, Postdoctoral Fellows,...) is $50. 

The deadline for workshop registration is June 4, 2025.

To incentivize Early-Career participation, we will hold a dedicated 2-hour session for contributed talks on the afternoon of Thursday, June 19. The talks will be selected from abstracts submitted here, with the selection criteria taking into consideration how the proposed abstract fits with the agenda of the workshop, and the career stage of the abstract submitter. Travel support will be available for Early-Career speakers subject to funding availability. 

The deadline for Early-Career talk abstract submissions in the Call for Abstracts page is May 26, 2025.
