The genesis of the India based Neutrino Observatory project is described briefly. The flagship experiment is based on a 51,000 ton magnetised iron calorimeter (ICAL) which aims to determine the mass ordering of the 3 tiny neutrino masses through a measurement of atmospheric muon neutrinos and muon anti-neutrinos. An 85 ton 4mx4mx10 layer mini- ICAL detector with 10 glass RPCs has been built...
Neutrinos with energies ranging from meV to EeV pervade the universe,
and play crucial roles in astrophysics and cosmology. This talk will describe
the rich phenomenology of these astrophysical neutrinos, and how their
future observations will enrich our knowledge of particle physics,
astrophysics, and cosmology.
Direct reactions are known to provide access to crucial nuclear structure information e.g. the quantum overlap between the ground state wave function of an initial nucleus and the states populated by the reaction. The case of light nuclei is of particular interest as direct reaction experiments involving isotopes at the dripline can be implemented, providing access to the nuclear overlaps at...
