Program at the Galileo Galilei Institute: “Neutrino Frontiers”

Abstract

The program brought together leading scientists working on key open issues and challenging questions in neutrino physics, a field notoriously rich in interdisciplinary connections, particularly astrophysics and cosmology. This is a domain where crucial progress has been made, many key open questions remain to be answered, important novel developments are ongoing and new connections with other domains are being uncovered. The program had two central goals. The first was to train PhD students and postdocs with lectures on neutrino physics, neutrino astrophysics and cosmology from internationally renowned scientists. The second was to create a collaborative and brainstorming atmosphere around key open issues and to foster our knowledge of neutrino frontiers thanks to a fruitful cross-breeding between different theoretical areas.
