Abstract:
The investigation of neutrino oscillations is one of the most lively and exciting fields in particle
physics nowadays. Since the year the 2000, the oscillation research has moved from the
discovery stage to a mature field providing successively more accurate results leading to a
better understanding of flavour and masses in the standard model. The next step is the
discovery of CP violation in the leptonic sector. The precise measurement of neutrino
properties has become one of the highest priorities in fundamental particle physics, involving
many experiments worldwide. Since the extraction of neutrino properties requires the
knowledge of the incoming neutrino energy, the reconstruction of that energy from the finalstate
products of the interactions is a critical element in these experiments. The goal of the
workshop is to improve the neutrino-nucleus interaction generators used by the neutrino
experiments, while paying special attention to their theory content and numerical
implementation.
Organized by
The European Centre for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas (ECT*) in Trento (Italy) provides a dedicated and structured combination of scientific activities for a large international scientific community. ECT* acts as an "intellectual" centre of competence, complementary in scope and activities to existing research facilities based at universities or experimental laboratories. It promotes coordination of European research efforts in nuclear physics and related research areas.
