The Neutrino Matrix

Abstract

To answer the very interesting questions raised by the discovery of neutrino mass, an effective, coherent strategy is needed. To foster the development of such a strategy, the American Physical Society's Divisions of Nuclear Physics and of Particles and Fields, together with the Divisions of Astrophysics and the Physics of Beams, have sponsored this yearlong Study on the Physics of Neutrinos. The study has endeavored to identify the most important open questions, to evaluate the physics reach of various proposed ways of answering them, and to determine an effective, fruitful U.S. role within a global experimental program. An important -- if challenging -- goal of the study has been to achieve consensus regarding the future of neutrino physics.
