Parallel talks 5: Neutrino Physics
- Shun Zhou (高能所)
Neutrino oscillations as a phenomenon have been observed and measured over more than two decades, with datasets growing ever richer. As we enter a time of precision measurements, it is important to take stock of what new effects may be lurking in the data, waiting for us to discover them. In this talk, I will discuss such scenarios and how near-future experiments are well-suited for discovery.
I will review existing hints and constraints on light sterile neutrinos. I will then explain the primary reasons why these anomalous data sets cannot be simply interpreted as a 1 eV sterile neutrino due to constraints from other experimental probes, notably solar neutrinos and cosmological data sets. I will present a novel, simple model that evades many of these constraints by adding in one...
In this talk, I will discuss in detail the capabilities of the next-generation high-precision long-baseline
neutrino oscillation experiments DUNE and T2HK in isolation and combination to address the major
unknowns in the three-flavor neutrino oscillation paradigm. I will show how the possible
complementarity/synergy among the on-axis DUNE and off-axis T2HK experiments can enhance
the...
As our understanding of the six three-flavor neutrino oscillation parameters begins to fall into place, our ability to probe new physics modifications to oscillations will continue to increase in a variety of directions. I will provide a brief overview of the latest status of a variety of new physics scenarios including sterile neutrinos, unitarity violation, and non-standard neutrino interactions.
