- NPAC (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum
- Exciting Prospects in the Study of the Ghostly Neutrino: the Reactor Anti-Neutrino Anomaly
- Time: 3:00 pm
- Place: 4274 Chamberlin
- Speaker: John G. Learned, University of Hawaii, Manoa
- Abstract: While we have made great progress in understanding neutrinos, with all their surprises, it seems the fun may not be behind us, with new anomalies coming over the horizon. I will focus on the emerging "reactor anti-neutrino anomaly," and the potentially revolutionary implications, which may point towards the existence of new sterile neutrinos. Finally, I will describe a little detector we are building which relates to some of these issues.
