The VII International Pontecorvo Neutrino Physics School

AbstraktAbstract

The VII International Pontecorvo Neutrino Physics School, which was organized by Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna (JINR Dubna), Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics, Czech Technical University in Prague (IEAP CTU, Prague), Charles University in Prague (Charles U., Prague), Comenius University in Bratislava (Comenius U., Bratislava) and Institute of Nuclear Physics in Krakow (INR Krakow) at the Conference Hall of National Library of Technology (Prague), August 20 - September 1, 2017, continued the tradition of Pontecorvo Neutrino Physics Schools, which were held in Dubna, Alushta and Horný Smokovec in 1998, 2003, 2007, 2010, 2012 and 2015. The School covered a broad range of topics in neutrino physics and neutrino cosmology. The purpose of the School was to review the present status of experimental and theoretical neutrino physics. 22 outstanding lecturers drew attention of 65 students and young scientists to prominent neutrino physics experiments and unsolved problems concerning fundamental properties and interactions of neutrinos. Three evening discussion sessions were organized covering problems of oscillation mechanism, the effect of matter, and the nature of neutrino masses. 33 of students and young scientists presented results of their research during the Student Poster Session, 22 of them contributed to the proceedings.
