Location:  Auditorium          

Speaker:   Boris Kayser (Fermilab)

Title:     The Majorana Questions

Abstract: Unlike the quarks and the charged leptons, neutrinos might be Majorana particles. That is they might be identical to their antiparticles. Why do many theorists strongly suspect that this is indeed the case? How can we expeimentally confirm that this indeed is the case? Is neutrinoless double beta decay the only way? If neutinos are their own antiparticles, what are the implications for CP violation? What are the extra CP-violating "Majorana" phases that can be present if the neutrinos are Majorana particles? Can they produce a manifestly CP-violating difference between a physical process and its CP-mirror image?

Dr. Kayser will also give a Physics and Astronomy colloquium at UBC @ 4:00 PM on Thursday.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
