Title: Neutrinos, looking for the next big thing
Speaker: Aaron Higuera (UH)
Abstract
In this seminar I will give an overview of neutrinos, its history and I will discuss how neutrinos lead us to new physics phenomena, neutrinos oscillations and its implications. In addition, given the current knowledge of neutrino physics, I will discuss what are the open questions in neutrino physics and how we are planing to address them with the next generation of neutrino experiments. In specific, I will mentioned the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, and how we plan to build such experiment, its technology and R&D efforts.
