Joint NPA/WIDG Seminar: Phillip Barbeau, Duke University - “In-COHERENT: What you can do with the World’s Smallest Neutrino Detector”

US/Eastern
WLC 108
WLC 108
Description
The coherent elastic scattering of neutrinos off nuclei was first predicted 43 years ago with the realization of the neutral weak current. The predicted cross-section is the largest of any known neutrino interactions; however, the process has remained undetected until recently due to the daunting experimental challenges. I will report briefly on the first observation of this process, newly announced by the COHERENT collaboration—an effort which has major contributions from a large team at Duke and the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory.
I will focus this talk on the broad array of questions that these neutrino detectors (both coherent and in-coherent) at a new neutrino facility such as the Spallation Neutron Source, can play in answering important questions in particle physics.
Lunch will be provided starting at 11:45 outside conference room WLC-108. RSVP required: https://goo.gl/forms/WLHCunrir1haboYg1
