17th International Workshop on Next Generation Nucleon Decay and Neutrino Detectors

26 Oct 2017, 09:00 → 28 Oct 2017, 14:00 Europe/London

Other Institutes

The 17th International Workshop on Next generation Nucleon Decay and Neutrino Detectors (NNN17) will be held at the University of Warwick, near Coventry in the UK, from October 26th-28th, 2017. This series of workshops brings together experts from across the particle physics community to discuss future large scale detectors for research on nucleon decays and neutrino physics. The workshop will consist of invited plenary talks, some contributed talks in parallel sessions and a poster session addressing the following topics:

• Proton decay
• High intensity neutrino beams
• Supernova neutrinos
• Solar neutrinos
• Atmospheric neutrinos
• Reactor neutrinos
• Large detectors R&D
