Virginia Tech Hosts the International Neutrino Summer School
The Center for Neutrino Physics, the Department of Physics and the College of
Science hosted the International Neutrino Summer School from
July 10th through July 21st, 2012.
The two week school was attended by more than 70 postdoctoral and graduate
students from 14 different countries. Students attended lectures given by
top researches from around the world. The lectures included topics such as
neutrino oscillations, neutrino mass, leptogenesis (a theory in which
neutrinos may be responsible for the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the
universe), neutrinos in cosmology and astrophysics, neutrino interactions, the
physics of neutrino detection, and experiments with neutrinos from the upper
atmosphere, accelerators, nuclear reactors and the Sun. In addition to
attending lectures students worked in groups to solve problems such as
designing experiments to measure critical neutrino properties.
