In this talk, I will first discuss some of the history and motivation behind today's leading neutrino physics experiments including how experiments in the last decade have given us our current understanding of neutrino properties. Then, I will introduce the state of the art in the field of experimental high energy neutrino physics, concentrating on large detectors underground, and focusing on Duke's experimental effort including some of the first output from the T2K experiment. I will also introduce the idea of the proton "Intensity Frontier", experiments which utilize beams from extremely intense accelerator sources, and how they hope to address outstanding questions. Along the way, I will discuss some of the technology needed in extremely large neutrino experiments and the choices we face in the field.
Coffee and cookies before the presentation at 3:15 pm, and refreshments after the presentation will both be served in Room 128.
