  25. 15. Neutrino Physics and Detectors
    Prof. Ken Long (Imperial College London)
    22/10/2015, 09:00
    The study of the neutrino is the study of physics beyond the Standard Model. We now know that the neutrinos have mass and that neutrino mixing occurs causing neutrino flavour to oscillate as neutrinos propagate through space and time. Further, some measurements can be interpreted as hints for new particles known as sterile neutrinos. The measured values of the mixing parameters make it...

    22/10/2015, 10:00
    In Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), a short laser pulse is transmitted from a ground station to an orbiting satellite and reflected back to the station, which measures the roundtrip time of flight and hence the station-to-satellite range.

    Prof. Laura Baudis (University of Zurich)
    27/10/2015, 11:30
    One of the major challenges of modern physics is to decipher the nature of dark matter. Astrophysical observations provide ample evidence for the existence of an invisible and dominant mass component in the observable universe, from the scales of galaxies up to the largest cosmological scales. The dark matter could be made of new, yet undiscovered elementary particles, with allowed masses...

    The analysis uses the effect of quantum correlations for pairs of identical particles emitted independently from different points on a surface of a source. For identical bosons, the Bose-Einstein correlations can happen, while for identical fermions Fermi-Dirac correlations are possible. Analysis of those effects can allow for better understanding of the hadronisation process, especially...

    Hadrontherapy is a promising approach to tumor treatment which uses ion beams (in particular protons and carbon ions) instead of gamma rays as in standard radiotherapy. The main advantage of this technique is that high energy ions release dose along the longitudinal direction with the tipical Bragg Peak (BP), and this allows to reduce the dose to healty tissues an consequently to concentrate...
