Precision neutrino oscillation physics with DUNE

Neutrino oscillations have been observed using neutrinos produced in the atmosphere, in the sun, in nuclear reactors, and in particle accelerators. Over the past two decades, nearly all of the parameters governing oscillations have been measured experimentally, but the remaining open questions have very interesting consequences. Using over 40,000 tons of liquid argon in a South Dakota gold mine, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment will search for CP-violation in the neutrino sector, which would cause a subtle difference in the oscillation patterns of neutrinos and antineutrinos and could be the key to understanding why there is so little antimatter in the universe.

About the Speaker:
Chris Marshall is a Chamberlain Fellow at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, California.  As a member of the DUNE collaboration, he co-convenes the long-baseline neutrino oscillation physics working group and is also active in the design and optimization of the near detector.  He is also a member of the Daya Bay collaboration.  From 2010-2016, he worked on the MINERvA neutrino-nucleus cross section experiment, and received his Ph.D. from the University of Rochester in 2016.
