    Results from the last decade of experiments have established that neutrinos are remarkably different than they appear in the Standard Model of particle physics: they have nonzero mass, flavor mix with one another and oscillate between generations. These features are rare indications of physics beyond the Standard Model so new theoretical and experimental work is needed to understand neutrino...

    In this talk I will discuss some current neutrino experiments that look at non-accelerator neutrinos sources - solar, reactor, geo and supernovae - using SNO+ as the main example of experimental techniques. I discuss first how these experiments help us probe fundamental neutrino properties, and secondly, what we can learn about the sources from measurements of the neutrinos they produce.

    The question of whether the neutrino is its own antiparticle, and the value of the absolute neutrino mass, are two of the most important unknowns in particle physics. A number of experiments are searching for neutrinoless double beta decay, in order to address these questions. The last year has marked the beginning of a new era for the field of neutrinoless double beta decay, with new results...

    Plenary - PP Experimental, Flavour, Neutrinos, Dark Matter
    Precision cosmology and detailed analysis of a wide variety of astronomical phenomena suggest that dark matter constitutes some 85% of the matter content of the Universe. While the evidence for its bulk existence is strong, an understanding of its particle nature remains elusive, and the requirement of an additional particle species to explain the dark matter provides compelling evidence for...
