Description

Abstract:

The origin of tiny neutrino masses, as observed in neutrino oscillation experiments, remains an open question in particle physics. In this talk, I shall introduce recent progress in the understanding of neutrino masses and related issues from the EFT perspective, such as the explicit construction of low-energy EFTs of seesaw models with one-loop matching, the positivity bounds and the applications of invariant theory in lepton flavor physics. These developments may shed some light on the mechanism for neutrino mass generation.

Biography:

Shun Zhou got his Ph.D. in 2009 from Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) in Beijing, and subsequently worked at Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich and KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm as a postdoctoral research fellow. Since 2014, he has been working at Theoretical Physics Division of IHEP as a faculty member. His research interest is mainly in fermion masses and flavor mixing, theory and phenomenology of massive neutrinos, and cosmological matter-antimatter asymmetry.
