- Theory Seminar (High Energy/Cosmology)
- Neutrino oscillations at current and future experiments
- Time: 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
- Place: 5280 Chamberlin Hall
- Speaker: Pilar Coloma
- Abstract: The large value of $theta_{13}$ has opened a door to determine the ordering of neutrino masses and the amount of CP violation in the leptonic sector. In the case of the neutrino mass ordering, the situation for the upcoming years is particularly promising and a measurement may be achievable in the near future. The determination of the Dirac CP-violating phase $delta$ is more challenging and will depend on several factors, though. In this talk, I will summarize the prospects for the current and future generations of neutrino oscillation experiments for these two observables, and discuss the main challenges that they will have to face.
