Welcome

The latest Daya Bay result shows that the neutrino mixing angle θ₁₃ is significantly larger than what is anticipated by most of us. The future of neutrino physics can now be discussed with concrete plans, particularly for the measurement of the leptonic CP phase and the neutrino mass hierarchy. At this critical moment, we plan to organize an “International Symposium on Neutrino Physics and Beyond” at a location very close to Daya Bay, in part to celebrate the completion of the experiment construction. Current progress of neutrino physics and related field will be reviewed, and future projects will be discussed.

The conference will cover not only neutrino physics, but also neutrinoless double beta-decays, and related topics such as dark matter searches and cosmic-ray physics. The detailed list of topics is shown below:

    ■ Neutrino Properties
    ■ Neutrino Oscillations
    ■ Neutrino Interactions
    ■ Geo & Astronomical Neutrinos
    ■ Sterile Neutrinos & Exotic Searches
    ■ Double Beta Decays
    ■ Dark Matter Searches
    ■ Cosmic Ray Physics
    ■ Future Projects

The Symposium will be held at the downtown of the Shenzhen city in September 23rd - 26th, 2012. The registration and abstract submission are open now and the deadline of abstract submission is Aug. 15, 2012. A city map, as well as the nearby area including Hong Kong and Daya Bay is shown here.

During the conference, the afternoon of Sept. 24th , a tour to the Daya Bay Experiment will be organized.

We look forward to seeing you in Shenzhen.
