Neutrino Physics (1/4)

by Dydak, F (CERN)

Friday 1 Aug 2003, 10:15 → 11:00 Europe/Zurich

500/1-001 - Main Auditorium (CERN)

Organiser(s): HR-RFA

Summary:
The course will start with a historical review of neutrino physics:
its beginnings 70 years ago, its decisive role in shaping the Standard Model, and its recent experimental achievements which hold the promise of breaking the walls of the Standard Model. A major fraction of the time will be devoted to neutrino oscillations, including prospects for experimentation in the next decade.

Prerequisite knowledge and references:
Elementary quantum mechanics, elementary concepts of particle physics.
