摘要:
Neutrinos are one of the most intensively studied particles. They may come from Earth’s atmosphere and from laboratories in well-controlled beams. They are observed through their interactions with detectors, and their so-called “appearance” and “disappearance” are fascinating subjects in contemporary particle physics, as they reveal some of neutrinos’ most desired universal properties that connect to the universe. In this seminar, we will review some near- and far-future neutrino experiments and facilities that study neutrinos and compare their efforts to achieve the ultimate sensitivity in studying neutrino interactions.
报告人简介:
Prof. Lu is an Associate Professor at the University of Warwick. His main research area is GeV neutrino physics. He has been in leadership positions in the neutrino interaction working groups of the T2K, MINERvA, and JUNO experiments, coordinating the data analysis efforts. He is known for the development of an analysis technique called transverse kinematic imbalance, which provides a new framework for understanding accelerator-based neutrino interactions and influences the next generation of experimental design and detector R&D. Prof. Lu is involved in the high-pressure gas TPC R&D for the DUNE experiment and is a Task Lead for the AIDAinnova project. He is also an active member of the GENIE and nuSTORM collaborations.
Prof. Lu received his BSc from Peking University and his master’s degree from the University of Hamburg. He moved to the University of Oxford as a postdoc after completing his PhD and a brief postdoc at the University of Heidelberg. He stayed on to become an STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellow and a faculty member of the Department of Physics at Oxford. He joined the University of Warwick in 2021 and holds a visiting lectureship at the University of Oxford. |
