Colloquium Prague ν17

2 Nov 2017, 06:50 → 3 Nov 2017, 20:00 Europe/Prague

J. Heyrovsky Institute of Physical Chemistry

Colloquium Towards CP violation in neutrino Physics

The aim of the Colloquium is to present a status and plans for CP violation measurement in neutrino experiments.  It plans to provide an overview of recent experimental results, theoretical predictions, experiments under construction and planned experiments to measure CP violation in lepton sector.
It consists of invited talks.

The organizing committee:

David Wark, Oxford University/Rutherford Appleton Laboratory
Debbie Loader, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory
Rupert Leitner, Charles University, Prague
Vit Vorobel, Charles University, Prague
Milos Lokajicek, Institute of Physics AS CR, Prague
Nina Tumova, Institute of Physics AS CR, Prague

The event is supported by programme CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/16_013/0001787

14:50 → 15:25 IceCube and IceCube-Gen2

The IceCube experiment, a cubic kilometre neutrino telescope, was built at the South Pole with the goal of observing high-energy neutrinos from beyond our solar system. This goal has been achieved with spectacular success, and now the collaboration aims to identify the sources of these interstellar neutrinos. At the heart of the IceCube detector a more densely instrumented region, called DeepCore, enables atmospheric neutrinos, with energies as low as 5 GeV, to be studied. These studies have led to a number of measurements of neutrino-oscillation phenomena, which will be the focus of my talk. I will present recent measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters and tau-neutrino appearance, and a search for sterile neutrinos. I will then talk about the future, outlining plans for the next phase of neutrino astronomy at the South Pole, IceCube-Gen2, and presenting the physics case, at both low and high energies, for this exciting new venture.

16:20 → 16:55 Global fits to neutrino oscillations: current status and robustness

In this talk, I will summarize the current status of global neutrino
oscillation analyses in the three-neutrino framework. I  will also
discuss some scenarios where the precise measurement of the neutrino oscillation parameters, such as theta_13 or the CP violation phase, could be significantly affected by the presence of neutrino physics beyond the Standard Model.

The detector (described in arXiv:1606.02896) is located at ~11 m from the core of industrial reactor (Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant, Russia) and is in operation for about 1 year, Looking for short-range neutrino oscillations.
At the moment, together with ČVUT ÚTEF we construct a new version of the detector which could be installed at Temelin NPP (Czechia).
