Public Lecture-Deep Secrets of the Neutrino: Physics Underground

Lecture Date: Tuesday, March 23, 2010. Among the many beautiful, unexpected and sometimes revolutionary discoveries to emerge from subatomic physics, probably none is more bizarre than an elementary particle known as the "neutrino". More than a trillion of these microscopic phantoms pass unnoticed through our bodies every second, and indeed, through the entire Earth - but their properties remain poorly understood. In recent years, exquisitely sensitive experiments, often conducted deep below ground, have brought neutrino physics to the forefront. In this talk, we will explore the neutrino - what we know, what we want to know, and how one experiment in a New Mexico mine is trying to get there. Lecturer: P.C. Rowson, SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.

Dear SLAC, thank you for making these lectures available!

Thanks for this edifying lecture about neutrinos.
But, we would like to know more about the sterile neutrinos such as why there are called sterile (because of their undetectable property ?).

I am stuck in bed in lots of pain. So much so I have been suicidal. While I found the Harlem Shake entertaining, I never found it engaging. My body isn't doing what I want & after over a year & a half in bed you can get tired of your own thoughts. I understand less about this subject than I do about that dance craze, but it is like skull candy to me. Gives me something to look forward to. Thank You so much for making this available. I guess I have become a SLACker. Science, It Works Bitches ; )

Love the girl getting the autograph!

Affecting spin-state resonance can alter the space-time continuum! Slowing or speeding up various parts! The neutrinos may hold all the keys, or simply be a stepping stone, all-be it a grandiose one, to an ever larger secret veiled right before our eyes! But we shall have to wait and see!!

Great lecture

[@vsprasannaa]

Great video!!:)

[@SLAC]

@88coe: email us at mmcommsATslac.stanford.edu and I can put you in touch with the lecturer directly. (Make sure to reference this video.)

[@88coe]

is there any way we can have access to the slides??

[@losipoop]

of course you meant time augmentation

[@MEDINAHSHRINER]

Now we have something to live for what make the star engines run?However the anti matter equation has not been answered by no man.

[@losipoop]

why should you care? well you should care because, as a 5th grader, you think time travel is b.s.
