[Triumf-seminars] TRIUMF Seminar today at 14:00

[postmaster at admin.triumf.ca]

Date/Time: Thu 2009-02-19 at 14:00

Location:  Auditorium          

Speaker:   Alan Poon (Lawrence Berkeley National Lab)

Title:     Probing the Neutrino Mass

Abstract: Despite several decades of intense experimental investigations, several fundamental properties of the neutrinos are still unknown.  Atmospheric, solar, reactor and accelerator neutrino experiments have conclusively demonstrated that neutrinos are not massless, yet the laboratory determination of their mass remains elusive. Future beta-decay and neutrinoless double beta-decay experiments can help closing this knowledge gap.  In this talk, I will describe KATRIN, a tritium beta-decay experiment, and MAJORANA, a neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment, and how they will contribute to this worldwide quest for the neutrino mass.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
