UvA Science Colloquium: a special online lecture by Nobel Prize winner prof. Takaaki Kajita

2020-11-03 12:00 | 2020-11-03 13:00

Professor Takaaki Kajita, who won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery regarding the mass of neutrinos will give a special online lecture on Tuesday 3 November at 12.00-13.00

Titel: Neutrino oscillations and small neutrino mass

Abstract:
Neutrinos have been assumed to have no mass. It was predicted that, if they have mass, they could change their type while they propagate. The phenomena are called neutrino oscillations. Neutrino oscillations were discovered  by deep underground neutrino experiments. I will discuss the discovery of neutrino oscillations and the implications of the small neutrino mass. The status and the future neutrino oscillation studies will also be discussed briefly.
