Date and Time: Tuesday, 31 October 2017, at 10:30 AM

Venue: Conference Hall, Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems

Lecture course topic: «Introduction to neutrino mass models»

Speaker: Igor Ivanov (Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisbon, Portugal)

Lecture 1. Neutrino pheno overview: status and puzzles

Lecture 2. Dirac vs Majorana: definitions, fields, mass terms allowed, situation in the SM

Abstract:

Igor Ivanov (CFTP, Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisbon) will give at DLNP a lecture course on neutrino mass models. The lectures will start with basics on Dirac and Majorana neutrinos and their mass terms and will proceed with various tree-level and radiative examples of the seesaw mechanism. Then, after a gentle introduction to the theory of finite groups, an example will be shown of how symmetry-based lepton sectors shape the PMNS mixing matrix.
