J1.00001: Measurements of Reactor Neutrinos at Short Distances Invited Speaker: |
Sunday, May 1, 2011 2:06PM - 2:42PM |
J1.00002: Measurements of Reactor Neutrinos at Long Baselines: KamLAND and Beyond Invited Speaker: KamLAND is a one-kiloton liquid scintillator based neutrino detector that is located at an average distance of 180 km from Japanese commercial nuclear powers reactors. I will describe the KamLAND experiment, the results of its reactor neutrino measurements, and its impact in relation to solar, short baseline reactor, atmospheric, and long baseline accelerator neutrino data. I will conclude by discussing some opportunities and challenges for the next generation long baseline reactor neutrino experiments. [Preview Abstract] |

J1.00003: Weighing Neutrinos Invited Speaker: Neutrino oscillation experiments performed throughout the latter half of the twentieth century have yielded valuable information on the nature of neutrino masses and mixings. The evidence gathered has provided solid evidence for non-zero neutrino masses. As we begin the 21st century, a new suite of precision experiments is coming online to provide greater insight into the physics and nature of neutrino masses. This talk will review our current state of knowledge on neutrino masses, and how new experiments and cosmological observations will complement that knowledge in the years to come.
