  1. 503. Neutrino in the Standard Model and beyond
    Prof. Samoil Bilenky (JINR (Dubna))

    Particle Physics / Physique des particules (PPD)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    The Standard Model teaches us that in the framework of such general principles as local gauge symmetry, unication of weak and electromag- netic interactions and Brout-Englert-Higgs spontaneous breaking of the elec- troweak symmetry nature chooses the simplest possibilities. Two-component left-handed massless neutrino elds play crucial role in the determination of the charged current...

    Particle Physics / Physique des particules (PPD)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité
    The SNO+ experiment, at the SNOLAB underground laboratory, consists of 780 Mg of linear alkylbenzene scintillator contained in the 12 m diameter SNO acrylic sphere and and observed by the SNO photomultiplier tubes. SNO+ will be loaded with tellurium, at approximately the 0.3% level to enable a sensitive search for neutrinoless double beta decay. This talk will detail the experiment, the...

    Oral (Non-Student) / orale (non-étudiant)
    SNO+ is a multi-purpose neutrino physics experiment investigating neutrinoless double beta decay and neutrino oscillations. The SNO+ detector consists of a 12m diameter acrylic vessel (AV), surrounded by ultra-pure water and approximately 9500 photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) which are positioned on a stainless steel PMT support structure (PSUP). The acrylic vessel will be filled with liquid...

  4. 794. Double-beta decay half-life of 96Zr – nuclear physics meets geochemistry
    Adam Mayer (University of Calgary)

    Nuclear Physics / Physique nucléaire (DNP-DPN)
    Oral (Student, In Competition) / Orale (Étudiant(e), inscrit à la compétition)
    Double-beta (\beta\beta) decay measurements are a class of nuclear studies with the objective of detecting the neutrinoless (0\nu) decay variants. Detection of a 0\nu\beta\beta decay would prove the neutrino to be massive and to be its own anti-particle (i.e., a Majorana particle). A key parameter in the detection of the 0\nu\beta\beta decay is the energy, or Q-value, of the decay. ^{96}Zr...
