Abstract:
Neutrinos are the most mysterious of the fundamental particles, with little known about even their most basic properties, such as their mixing angles or the origin of their masses. In this talk, I will describe the prospects for the neutrino physics program in the next few decades, with a particular emphasis on why the particle physics community should be excited. I will then discuss the central role GeV neutrino-nucleus interactions play in the theoretical interpretation of modern neutrino experiments, highlighting my key contributions to this area, and their impact on maximizing the physics potential of the US neutrino program.
