SUMMARY:Neutrino Oscillations - A Door to New Physics\, Physics Depart
 ment Colloquium\, Brian Rebel\, Fermi Lab
DESCRIPTION:One of the biggest surprises in Particle Physics was the d
 iscovery of neutrino mass - a result that proves the Standard Model go
 verning Particle Physics is incomplete! This fundamental property of n
 eutrinos was discovered through neutrino oscillations\, or changing of
  neutrino flavor\, between the points of neutrino production and inter
 action. For example\, about two thirds of the electron neutrinos produ
 ced in solar fusion reactions have been shown to change into a mixture
  of muon and tau neutrinos as they propagate out of the Sun. Similarly
 \, about half the muon neutrinos produced from cosmic ray interactions
  in the atmosphere change into tau neutrinos. These neutrino oscillati
 ons allow us to make precision measurements of neutrino properties usi
 ng man-made sources such as neutrino beams and nuclear reactors. <br>

 \nIn this talk I will present the current understanding of neutrino os
 cillations and the outstanding questions about neutrinos. I will prese
 nt the current results from the NOvA experiment\, which uses the most 
 powerful accelerator neutrino beam in the world\, and a look to the fu
 ture with the DUNE experiment and the exciting new detector technology
  it uses.
