Solvay-Francqui Workshop on "Neutrinos: from Reactors to the Cosmos"

Brussels, 27 - 29 May 2015

ULB - Campus Plaine - Solvay Room


The aim of the workshop is two-fold:


- We will review the status of our knowledge of neutrino properties, through a review of recent results obtained by oscillation experiments at accelerators and reactors, and by more direct measurements related to the neutrino mass and type.


- We will discuss the role of neutrinos as messengers from the most violent events in the universe. The discussion of cosmic neutrinos will be framed in a multi-messenger framework covering cosmic ray and gamma ray experiments. The program will also cover the role of neutrinos in cosmology, and in dark matter searches.


The workshop is organized on the occasion of the International Francqui Chair 2014 awarded to Prof. Francis Halzen (UW Madison), PI of the IceCube neutrino experiment. It is co-organized by the Francqui Foundation and the International Solvay Institutes.
