An example of simulated data modeled for the CMS particle detector on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Here, following a collision of two protons, a Higgs boson is produced which decays into two jets of hadrons and two electrons. The lines represe

The Landscape of Neutrino BSM

Prof. Ian Shoemaker (Hosted by Dev), Virginia Tech

Neutrinos necessarily play a role in the landscape of physics beyond the SM (BSM), and it is therefore crucial that we cast a wide net in neutrino physics experiments. In this talk, I'll discuss some of the wide variety of phenomenology that can probe BSM neutrino physics, focusing on sterile neutrinos, non-standard neutrino interactions, and hybrid cases in which sterile neutrinos have novel interactions.
