Workshop for Atmospheric Neutrino Production in the MeV to PeV range

20 Mar 2019, 08:00 → 22 Mar 2019, 22:30 Asia/Tokyo

ES building, Room 635 (Nagoya University)

Hiroaki Menjo (Nagoya University (JP)), Yoshitaka Ito (Nagoya University (JP))

This workshop focus on the atmospheric neutrino measurement and its flux calculation which are getting more important for precise oscillation analysis in the low energy region and as background estimation of neutrino astronomy.  It aims at gathering experts related to the field and making a fruitful and informal discussion among participants.    

Subjects discussed in the Workshop are

• Measurements of atmospheric neutrinos  
• Methods and results of atmospheric neutrino flux calculation 
• Hadronic interaction of cosmic-rays 

LOC

 Y. Itow and H. Menjo 

This workshop is supported by KMI, Nagoya University.
