The case for sterile neutrinos

Tuesday September 30, 2014
2:00 pm


 Presenter:  Shashank Shalgar (UNM)
 Series:  Nuclear, Particle, Astroparticle and Cosmology (NUPAC) Seminars
 Abstract:  In this pedagogical talk I will discuss the particle physics motivation for sterile neutrinos and experimental hints for sterile neutrinos, including the 3.5 KeV X-ray line seen by the Chandra Observatory. I will discuss the Dirac and Majorana mass terms for neutrinos and basics of the see-saw mechanism.
 Host:  Huaiyu (Mike) Duan
 Location:  PAIS-2540, PAIS
