Title: Precision Neutrino Oscillation Measurements: Are we there yet?
Abstract: Neutrino Oscillations, one of the precious few signatures of beyond the standard model physics, offer an exciting opportunity to study the universe. Neutrino oscillation measurements can give us new insight into what generate particle masses and what might generate the abundance of matter over antineutrino that we currently enjoy. Making precision oscillation measurements is challenging though, in part due to their miniscule probability to interact with matter. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), currently under construction, aims to make precision measurements of neutrino oscillations across a broad range of neutrino energies, with a goal of not only getting precise oscillation parameters in the new standard “3-neutrino-flavour paradigm” but also to test the framework itself. Making precision oscillation measurements also requires a thorough understanding of the way neutrinos interact in nuclei in order to measure the oscillation probability as a function of neutrino energy. This talk will review recent progress on DUNE as well as a few recent neutrino interaction measurements from MINERvA that are helping to lay the foundations of future oscillation measurements.
