Physics Opportunities

✴ Clear path for long-baseline physics (NMH, CP)

  • New facility being constructed, open to new users
  • What can this technology contribute?

✴ Neutrinoless double beta decay

  • Majorana neutrinos, leptogenesis, matter/antimatter

✴ Solar neutrinos (solar metallicity, luminosity) ✴ Supernova burst neutrinos ✴ Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background ✴ Nucleon decay ✴ Geo-neutrinos ✴ Sterile neutrino searches

Path Forwards

  • 1. Suite of smaller, dedicated

(specialised) detectors vs

  • 2. Single large-scale multi-purpose

detector

10

What technology is needed? What physics can it address? Political landscape Scientific landscape

Talks today & tomorrow will address some of these questions

Hybrid scheme?

Panel Discussion

  • Panel topics
  • Prioritisation of physics topics addressable by LS detectors
  • International perspectives on scale and scope of LS detectors
  • Benefits of a single large-scale multi-purpose detector vs

smaller, targeted projects

  • Panel members - thank you!

Adam Bernstein, Ed Blucher, Frank Calaprice, Manfred Lindner, Gioacchino Ranucci, Michi Wurm

  • Panel moderator: Josh Klein
