Duke Physicists at Neutrino 2014

The Neutrino 2014 conference which was held in Boston this year is the premier conference in neutrino physics and is held biannually. Duke faculty, researchers and students played a highly visible role in this year's meeting.

Prof. Chris Walter gave the T2K experiment's talk and Prof. Kate Scholberg gave a review talk on supernova neutrinos. Prof. Phil Barbeau also gave a talk on coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. Additionally, Duke neutrino group postdoc Alex Himmel gave a poster on exotic oscillation analyses with Super-K, and recent Ph.D. Taritree Wongjirad gave a poster on the T2K muon neutrino oscillation analysis. Finally, former Duke neutrino postdoc Roger Wendell gave the Super-K atmospheric neutrino result presentation.
