HEP Seminar: Boris Kayser: Addressing the Majorana vs. Dirac Question Using Neutrino Decays

When: Monday, October 15, 2018
4:00 PM - 5:00 PM CT

Where: Technological Institute, F160, 2145 Sheridan Road, Evanston, IL 60208 map it

Audience: Faculty/Staff - Student - Public - Post Docs/Docs - Graduate Students

Contact: Pamela Villalovoz   (847) 491-3644

Group: Physics and Astronomy High Energy Physics Seminars

Category: Academic

Description:

We will explain why the question of whether neutrinos are Majorana or Dirac particles is particularly interesting, and why it is so hard to answer. We will then show that if a heavy neutrino should be discovered at a high-energy collider, a meson factory, or a neutrino beam facility, the study of the decays of this neutrino could rather readily answer the question.
