Neutrinos are important in many areas of modern physics. They provide the best evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model, and are proving to be an invaluable tool in astrophysics and cosmology.
This school will deal with all aspects of neutrino physics and lectures will include experimental, phenomenological and theoretical developments. The target audience consists of young graduate or postdoctoral researchers in both theory and experiment. Additionally, there will be opportunities for students to work in groups addressing some of the main topics of neutrino physics. This school will be preceded by the NuFact workshop in Rio de Janeiro. There is no registration fee and limited funds are available for local and travel support of participants.

Lectures Summary/Outlines:

 

 ======================================================================
Standard Model and Neutrino Mass Models: André de Gouvea (Northwestern University)
   =======================================================================
I will provide a general overview of the different components of the standard model of particle physics, including its particle content, interactions, and symmetries, along with its modern short-comings. I will discuss the significance of nonzero neutrino masses, identifying the ingredients necessary in order to augment the standard model in order to accommodate them. I will also discuss potential consequences of the different ideas for the physics behind nonzero neutrino masses, and some of what we can hope to learn in the near future.A Few References (a very small subset):- “Dynamics of the Standard Model,” Cambridge Monographs on Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics, and Cosmology – Donoghue, Golowich, Holstein (textbook)

Cosmology and Astrophysics: Pedro Holanda (IFGW-UNICAMP)
   =====================================================
Neutrinos are the most abundant particle in the Universe, after photons, and in primordial times they represented ~40% of its energetic content. Due to the fact that they are very light particles, they have made the transition to a non-relativistic regime in recent times. Due to these characteristics, cosmological neutrinos leave a very clear signature in several cosmological observables, like the effective number of relativistic degrees of freedom in primordial universe, cosmic microwave background asymmetries and the matter power spectrum. From the analysis of such observables, the most stringent limit in the sum of neutrino mass is obtained, and constraints in number of neutrino families and non-standard interactions are established.In the extreme opposite of energy spectrum, very-high energy coming from astrophysical sources are being detected in IceCube experiment, the first neutrino telescope that successfully detected neutrinos generated outside our solar system (beside those from SN1987A). Together with Antares, these two Neutrino Telescopes started a research program that uses neutrinos as the probe for astrophysics objects.In these lectures the main aspects of neutrino cosmology and astrophysics will be addressed in a pedagogical way, and hopes to provide the main ingredients to reproduce the most important results in the field.Bibliography:- Massive neutrinos and cosmology, Julien Lesgourgues and Sergio Pastor, Phys.Rept. 429 (2006) 307-379. doi:10.1016/j.physrep.2006.04.001– Fundamentals of Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics, Carlo Giunti, ‎Chung W.

 =============================================
Neutrino Phenomenology: Boris Kayser (Fermilab)
   ==============================================
  • Leptonic mixing and its role in leptonic weak interactions
  • The physics of neutrino oscillation
  • Important special cases of oscillation
  • A summary, all in one place, of what we have learned from the oscillation (and other) data
  • Major open questions about neutrinos and their roles in physics and astrophysics
  • Majorana masses, the nature of Majorana neutrinos, and what the observation of neutrinoless double beta decay would tell us
  • CP violation in neutrino physics, and leptogenesis as the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe
  • The possible existence of light sterile neutrinos, non-standard neutrino interactions, and really wild neutrino behavior
====================================================
Accelerator Neutrinos: Kendall Mahn (Michigan State University)
=====================================================

While accelerator based neutrino sources are used to probe a wide range of physics, including dark matter and sterile neutrino searches, these sources are most commonly used for so-called ‘’long baseline’’ experiments, where an intense source of neutrinos is observed hundreds or thousands of kilometers away. Over this distance, neutrino oscillation occurs, and the event rate is used to make increasingly precise measurements of the atmospheric neutrino mass splitting and mixing angle. These lectures discuss the evolution of accelerator based experiments and the landscape of the physics these sources are sensitive to.

Accelerator-driven neutrino beams are tertiary beams; neutrinos are produced from the decay of pions and kaons, produced by protons striking a target. The lectures will describe the neutrino generating facilities around the world which host machines, and discuss practical considerations of the operation and simulation of the neutrino sources they produce. Future plans for new neutrino sources, “conventional” superbeams, new approaches to stopped pion beams, beta beams and neutrino factors will also be covered, including the challenges for each approach.

Direct Mass Measurements: Susanne Mertens (LBNL)
=====================================================

The knowledge of the absolute neutrino mass scale is an extremely important input parameter both for cosmological models and for the fundamental understanding of the nature of particle masses. So far, however, only a lower limit of 0.05 eV, provided by neutrino oscillation experiments, and an upper bound of 2 eV from direct neutrino mass experiments is limiting the allowed parameter range.

This course will give a recap of the theory of neutrino masses, but will mainly focus on experimental methods to measure the neutrino mass. In particular two complementary techniques based on single beta decay [1] and neutrinoless double beta decay (0nbb) [2] will be discussed. In single beta decay (e.g. 3H > 3He) an electron and an anti-neutrino are created, which statistically share the decay energy released in the decay. If the neutrino has a rest mass, it would carry away at least the energy corresponding to this rest mass. Consequently, a non-zero neutrino mass reduces the maximal energy of the electron and distorts the electron energy spectrum in the vicinity of the endpoint.

0nbb is a process that is predicted in many theories but has never been observed so far. The discovery of 0nbb would decisively proof that neutrinos are Majorana particles (i.e. their own antiparticle) and would allow the probing of the neutrino mass, as the half-life of the decay is proportional to the inverse neutrino mass squared.

In these lectures the physics of both techniques will be explained and an overview of the main experimental efforts in this field will be given. As an example for single and double beta decay experiments KATRIN [3, 4] and MAJORANA [5, 6] will be described in more detail.

Neutrino Detection: Kate Scholberg (Duke University)
==============================================

This course will cover physics of neutrino detection and basics of common detection technologies for neutrinos in different energy regimes. I will begin with an overview of the physics of particle energy loss and general principles of particle detection.  The remainder of the course will cover neutrino detector types and instances of specific detectors, over a wide range of energies, including: detectors for radioactive-source, reactor and solar neutrinos (~MeV),  detectors for supernova and pion decay-at-rest neutrinos (~10’s of MeV), detectors for beam and atmospheric neutrinos (~GeV), and detectors for high-energy astrophysical neutrinos (~PeV).
