Neutrino world

Description

Prof. Boris Kayser, Theoretical Physics Dept., Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory discusses neutrinos, which are among the most abundant particles in the universe. In the past few years, compelling evidence has been found that the neutrinos made in the earth's atmosphere by cosmic rays, and those made in the sun, can morph from one "flavor" to another. This flavor change implies that neutrinos have nonzero masses, and opens a whole new world for us to explore. In this talk, he explains what has been learned about neutrinos so far, identifies some of the major open questions, and discusses future experiments that can help us to answer them.
