Physics beyond the Standard Model in neutrino scattering

Seminario del Dr. Xunjie Xu (Max Planck Inst., Heidelberg, Germany).

Abstract:  Neutrinos interact very weakly with matter and had been very difficult to detect in the past.Future neutrino scattering experiments (e.g. coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering) can not only measure neutrino interactions to high precision, but also be very sensitive to new physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM).

In this talk, I am going to introduce both neutrino-nucleus and neutrino-electron scattering experiments. I will show their sensitivities in searching for BSM physics and the potential to solve the Dirac/Majorana nature problem of neutrinos in the presence of new physics.
