Speaker:   Eric Zimmerman (University of Colorado, Boulder and TRIUMF)

Title:     Neutrino Beams: Principles and Implementation

Abstract: Some of the most dramatic progress in particle physics in the past twenty years has come from the neutrino sector.  Accelerator-based neutrino beams are at the heart of many recent advances, and will be key to making progress in the future.  These beams have evolved into major facilities whose design, construction, operation, and analysis form a lively subfield within experimental high-energy physics.  This seminar will describe the physics and design principles behind a neutrino beam, as well as the analysis challenges associated with these beams, with examples taken from prominent current and recent experiments.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
