"𝜈-Techniques for 𝜈-Physics"
Joe Formaggio, MIT Physics Department
Abstract:
Neutrinos—the "little neutral ones" initially conjectured by Pauli in the 1930s—have been eluding scientists since their inception. Even some basic properties, such as their mass, escape experimental confirmation. In my talk, I will discuss how two relatively new quantum-inspired techniques — such cyclotron radiation emission spectroscopy (CRES)-- are being used to better understand the fundamental properties of neutrinos to new, unprecedented levels.
