Potential of future long baseline experiments: DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande

ORAL · Invited

Abstract

Neutrinos, a tiny subatomic particle, are the source of world-wide study. As neutrinos travel, they ‘oscillate’, that is, they transition from one type of neutrino to another. Experiments study neutrino oscillation by using intense, accelerator-produced beams of neutrinos across enormous distances (order 100km). These "long baseline" experiments probe details of neutrino and antineutrino oscillation, and whether our current picture of neutrinos is complete. Two future experiments are planning to make precision measurements of neutrino oscillation, the US-based Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), and the Japanese-based Hyper-Kamiokande experiment. This talk will discuss the exciting scientific program of the two experiments, including oscillation physics and exotics physics searches.
