Opportunities with Atmospheric Neutrinos (OWAN21)

Europe/London
Description

Cosmic particles bombarding Earth’s atmosphere provide a constant source of neutrinos. In the past, the study of these atmospheric neutrinos led to the celebrated discovery of neutrino oscillation; today, they are still extensively studied to better understand their fundamental properties and for their impact as a background for rare-event searches. Atmospheric neutrino observations in future flagship observatories like ANITA, DUNE, Hyper-Kamiokande, IceCube, JUNO, P-ONE, and SNO+ offer incredible opportunities to explore physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. 

The IoP Astroparticle Physics (APP) group will hold a one-day event to review the status of present-day atmospheric neutrino measurements and to identify possible unexplored opportunities in future experiments. 

The workshop will take place on 10 November (10:30-17:30) and will be held as a hybrid meeting with both in-person and virtual attendance possible. The in-person element will be hosted at the Institute of Physics (IOP) building at 37 Caledonian Rd, London N1 9BU. Although the event is free, registration is required due to space limitations for both in-person and online participation. Remote connection details will be provided later when registering with the Online Attendee Types. 

Limited travel funding will be available for students and early career researchers. Please contact the conference chair for more information.
