Q03.00001: Recent Results from NOvA and T2K Invited Speaker: Patricia L. Vahle Studies of neutrino oscillations hold the promise of revealing physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. With intense, well controlled neutrino sources and near detectors to constrain neutrino flux, cross sections, and backgrounds, long-baseline experiments play a leading role in these studies. The current generation of long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments measure electron neutrino appearance and muon neutrino disappearance in muon neutrino beams. Comparisons of the oscillation probability between neutrinos and antineutrinos rigorously test the physics behind neutrino oscillations, depend on the ordering of the neutrino masses, and could uncover charge-parity violation in the neutrino sector. Resolving the order of the masses of the neutrinos is important to understanding the nature of neutrino mass, while violation of the charge-parity symmetry might explain the observed excess of matter over antimatter in our Universe. In this talk, we will review recent results from the long-baseline neutrino experiments, NOvA and T2K. |

Q03.00002: Theoretical aspects of the long-baseline neutrino oscillations Invited Speaker: Pedro A.N. Machado In this talk I will review some theoretical aspects and recent developments of neutrino oscillations physics. Emphasis will be given on the impact of the CP violation phase in long-baseline experiments. I will also broadly discuss how current and future oscillation experiments contribute to our understanding of nature. |

Q03.00003: Potential of future long baseline experiments: DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande Invited Speaker: Kendall Mahn Neutrinos, a tiny subatomic particle, are the source of world-wide study. As neutrinos travel, they ‘oscillate’, that is, they transition from one type of neutrino to another. Experiments study neutrino oscillation by using intense, accelerator-produced beams of neutrinos across enormous distances (order 100km). These "long baseline" experiments probe details of neutrino and antineutrino oscillation, and whether our current picture of neutrinos is complete. Two future experiments are planning to make precision measurements of neutrino oscillation, the US-based Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), and the Japanese-based Hyper-Kamiokande experiment. This talk will discuss the exciting scientific program of the two experiments, including oscillation physics and exotics physics searches.
