Neutrino Physics: the Roadmap for Precision Physics
In the last years, we experienced a complete change of the view of weak interaction physics. Robust results from many experiments as Super-Kamiokande, KamLAND, SNO, K2K, show us that the neutrinos have the remarkable phenomena of oscillations, a quantum interference mechanism that operates to distances as large as 100 km and even bigger distances. From this we know that neutrinos change identit...
متن کاملNeutrino-related questions in nuclear and astro-particle physics
*Correspondence: Osvaldo Civitarese, Department of Physics, University of La Plata, c.c. 67 (1900), La Plata, Argentina e-mail: osvaldo.civitarese@ fisica.unlp.edu.ar Since the prediction about its existence, by Pauli, the neutrino has been, and still is, the principal object in the field of nuclear, particle and astroparticle physics. Issues like its mass, oscillation parameters, the mixing wi...
متن کاملThe Nuclear Physics of Solar and Super- nova Neutrino Detection
This talk provides a basic introduction for students interested in the responses of detectors to solar, supernova, and other low-energy neutrino sources. Some of this nuclear physics is then applied in a discussion of nucleosynthesis within a Type II supernova, including the r-process and the ν-process.
متن کاملHanohano: a Deep Ocean Anti-neutrino Detector for Unique Neutrino Physics and Geophysics Studies
The science potential of a 10 kiloton deep-ocean liquid scintillation detector for 1 MeV energy scale electron anti-neutrinos has been studied. Such an instrument, designed to be portable and function in the deep ocean (3-5 km) can make unique measurements of the anti-neutrinos from radioactive decays in the Earth’s mantle. Ths information speaks to some of the most fundamental questions in geo...
متن کاملNeutrino Physics
There has been a breakthrough in neutrino physics. It has been discovered that neutrinos have nonzero masses, and that leptons mix. The evidence for masses and mixing is the observation that neutrinos can change from one type, or “flavor”, to another. In this first section of these lectures, we will explain the physics of neutrino flavor change, or “oscillation”, as it is called. We will treat ...
