Description

Workshop on Short Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Physics. The broad focus of the workshop will be on issues relevant to the short-baseline neutrino oscillation program at Fermilab. Discussion topics will include Multi-detector analysis strategies, Detector cross-calibration, Minimizing systematic uncertainties (flux, detector, modeling, reconstruction...), Experimental outcome scenarios and impact on LBL measurements.

PROGRAM ORGANIZERS: Zelimir Djurcic (ANL), Angela Fava (FNAL), Zarko Pavlovic (FNAL), David W. Schmitz (University of Chicago), Ornella Palamara (FNAL)

LOCAL ORGANIZERS: Brian Batell, Donna Naples and Vittorio Paolone, University of Pittsburgh
