Precision Studies at the Neutrino Frontier

Explore a comprehensive 30-minute conference talk by Dr. Karsten M. Heeger from the University of Wisconsin, delivered at the APS April 2013 Meeting in Denver. Delve into Stuart Freedman's significant contributions to neutrino physics and his role in advancing the field towards precision measurements. Gain insights into the evolution of neutrino studies, from initial anomalies to current precision research. Examine key topics including solar neutrinos, the solar neutrino deficit, terrestrial neutrino oscillations, and the KamLAND experiment highlights. Understand the measurement of fundamental oscillation parameters and mass splittings, as well as the discovery of geoneutrinos from Earth. Investigate reactor neutrino oscillation experiments and efforts towards a US reactor @13 experiment. Learn about the completion of the 3-v oscillation picture and the decade of discoveries in neutrino physics. This talk, part of the Invited Session on Experimental Studies in Weak Interactions, offers a comprehensive overview of the scientific legacy of Stuart Freedman and the current state of precision studies at the neutrino frontier.
