Abstract:
Neutrinos help us understand the basic makeup of nature as well as the evolution and composition of our universe. One of the best ways to study them is to artificially produce them in copious quantities and in controlled environments, which is best done with particle accelerators or nuclear reactors. In this talk, I will give an overview of our group’s efforts with man-made neutrinos. I will present some of the most significant results we have obtained and will describe what we plan to accomplish with two next-generation experiments at the cutting-edge of our field that are currently under construction.
