Tanaka Dissertation Award Talk: Evidence for Neutrino Flavor Oscillations in the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory

This talk will discuss the evidence for neutrino oscillations, with an emphasis on the results from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). With its unique heavy-water volume, SNO can simultaneously measure the electron neutrino flux and the total active neutrino flux coming from the Sun. The SNO results provide compelling model- independent evidence for neutrino flavor changes, providing a solution to the long-standing ``solar neutrino problem.'' While these results solve one mystery, there are many remaining questions about neutrinos. This talk will conclude with a discussion of the potential of current and future neutrino experiments.
