S16.00001: Neutrino Cross Sections at Solar Energies Invited Speaker: Louis Strigari I will review neutrino nucleus cross section measurements and uncertainties for energies applicable to solar neutrinos. I will discuss how these cross sections are important for interpreting solar neutrino experimental data, and highlight the most important neutrino-nucleus interactions that will be relevant for forthcoming dark matter direct detection experiments.

S16.00002: Progress and Challenges of Neutrino-Nuclear Cross Sections in the GeV Regime Invited Speaker: Kendall Mahn Interactions of neutrinos and antineutrinos with nuclear material are an essential ingredient in measurements of neutrino oscillation. As future experiments aim at unprecedented precision of the parameters which govern neutrino mixing, neutrino-nuclear interactions have come under intense scrutiny and interest. This talk will describe the needs of future experiments, the unique challenges of neutrino interaction physics and summarize recent results from a suite of experiments worldwide. [Preview Abstract] |

S16.00003: Neutrino Cross Sections at Supernova Energies Invited Speaker: Kate Scholberg Neutrinos with energies between a few and a few tens of MeV are relevant for a number of physics topics. Notably, this is the energy range corresponding to emission of neutrinos from supernovae. In addition, it is relevant for studies of solar, reactor and atmospheric neutrinos, as well as for physics using accelerator-produced neutrinos from pions or radioactive nuclei decaying at rest. Surprisingly, with the exception of interactions on electrons and protons, the interactions of neutrinos with matter in this energy range are quite poorly understood, both theoretically and experimentally. This talk will describe neutrino physics and astrophysics in the supernova-neutrino energy range, the state of knowledge of cross sections on relevant nuclei, and initiatives for experimental measurements.
