Neutrinos - an interesting journey

Aula Conversi (Dip. di Fisica - Edidicio G. Marconi)

Seminario chiamata diretta

Neutrino physics has made tremendous strides in the past decade; the next challenge is to determine if neutrinos violate charge-parity (CP) symmetry, and to identify the neutrino mass hierarchy. The focus of my research group in the last few years has been to understand neutrino interactions in matter and their role in the discovery of the CP violating phase in the neutrino sector. Neutrinos can be used for monitoring nuclear reactors, but it is very challenging. In the last few years, we saw the development of new technology, one example is the one that we patented at Virginia Tech, that will make reactor monitoring with portable neutrino detectors a real possibility. More specifically, I will discuss my Virginia Tech research group efforts preparing the next generation neutrino detectors and experiments. Throughout the talk we will rediscover the importance of nuclear physics and its influence in describing the neutrino interactions with matter.
