Abstract:
The massiveness of neutrinos, as implied by the neutrino oscillation phenomenon, suggests that the Standard Model of elementary particles is incomplete. Neutrinos have a much smaller mass than other elementary particles, and physicists aren't sure why. Furthermore, the neutrino mass spectrum, which is needed to consider the origin of neutrino mass, is still yet to be established. Another exciting physics being investigated vigorously with neutrino experiments is the violation of the Charge-Parity (CP) symmetry in the leptonic sector, which may provide an appealing explanation for the Universe's matter-antimatter asymmetry. The talk will focus on recent findings as well as future prospects for understanding the neutrino mass spectrum and leptonic CP violation.
Biography:
Dr. Son Cao received his Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Texas at Austin in 2014. After graduation, he spent nearly 7 years in Japan as a post-doctoral researcher at Okayama University, Kyoto University, and the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK). He has been working for the Institute For Interdisciplinary Research in Science and Education (IFIRSE) in Vietnam since April 1st, 2021. His primary interest is in the physics of neutrinos, which are elementary particles that serve as the building blocks of matter in the Universe. He has contributed to a number of international neutrino experiments, including MINOS (US), T2K, and Super-Kamiokande (Japan)
