Neutrinos, the strangest particles in the Universe

Speaker: Professor Gary Barker, University of Warwick

In this talk, Professor Barker will introduce what is known about the fundamental particles, neutrinos, and the challenges to understand them within the structure of the Standard Model of particle physics - which so successfully describes the other known fundamental particles of nature. He will describe how neutrinos may hold the key to explaining some of the outstanding big questions in fundamental physics and the current status of experiments to verify their role in nature.

About the Speaker

Professor Barker's research work concerns the physics of neutrinos. Neutrinos could hold the key to explaining many current mysteries surrounding the nature of the Universe. His group focuses on measuring the properties of neutrinos through studies of neutrino oscillations with long baseline oscillation experiments.
