P2.00001: Accelerator Neutrino Experiments: Current status of the neutrino sector and what we would like to learn from future experiments Invited Speaker: Accelerator neutrino experiments provide interesting opportunities to probe the neutrino sector in a way that compliments the results from nonaccelerator-based programs. Through the use of accelerators, it is possible to produce a beam of neutrinos whose propagation can be studied over a long baseline. By studying oscillation along this beam line, it is possible to produce measurements that might resolve the neutrino mass hierarchy and probe the differences between matter and antimatter. In this presentation, the current constraints on the neutrino mixing from the Fermilab accelerator neutrino program will be discussed. These results will then be contrasted against the expectations for the next generation of neutrino accelerator experiments, such as NOvA and T2K. [Preview Abstract] |

P2.00002: Probing Neutrino Mixing with Non-Accelerator Experiments Invited Speaker: Neutrino mass and mixing are amongst the major discoveries of recent years and demand that we make the first significant revision of the Standard Model in decades. From the first observation of the free antineutrino to the discovery of neutrino oscillations with atmospheric, solar, and reactor neutrinos, non-accelerator experiments have played an essential role in the history of neutrino physics. They continue to provide some of the best measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters and are used as astrophysical probes. We will review the results of recent experiments and describe how the next-generation of non-accelerator experiments will search for the unknown mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ and provide precision tests of neutrino mixing.
