10th International Workshop on Neutrino-Nucleus Interactions in the Few-GeV Region (NuInt15)

16 Nov 2015, 08:00 → 21 Nov 2015, 18:00 Asia/Tokyo

Icho-Kaikan, Osaka University Suita Campus

Toru Sato (Osaka University)

Overview

NuInt15 is the 10th in a series of workshops concentrating on low-energy, neutrino-nucleus interactions.
The goal of the whole series is to bring theorists and experimentalists from the nuclear and high-energy community together to address the many challenges to understanding these complex interactions. After reviewing the motivation for these studies and the ongoing experimental efforts, the topic of nuclear effects will be introduced and each of the neutrino-nucleus scattering channels that contribute in the low-energy regime will be covered. Recent scattering results from oscillation experiments as well as the potential of experiments specifically designed to study these interactions will be discussed. The work of both nuclear and high-energy theorists to provide improved theoretical descriptions of these channels will also be reviewed.
