  Questions to the Neutrino Panel 10m
  
  It is in the context of promoting cooperation in neutrino physics that the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) established an international panel on neutrino physics. This panel has the mandate “to promote international cooperation in the development of an experimental program to study the properties of neutrinos and to promote international collaboration in the development of future neutrino experiments to establish the properties of neutrinos”. The specific objective defined was the creation of a community-informed science-driven white paper following the mandate of the panel:
  • To carry out a review of the present status of the global neutrino physics program and the development that can be expected on a 5 to 10-year timescale;
  • To give an overview of the measurements and R&D (including software development) that are required for the near-term (< 10-year) and medium- to long-term (10 to 25-year) programs to fulfill their potential;
  • To identify opportunities within neutrino physics, mutual benefits of global connections within neutrino physics and other fields, as well as the synergies of an international program.
