Venerdì 27 marzo 2026 alle ore 14:00, la Prof. Silvia Pascoli del Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia, Università di Bologna terrà il Colloquio di Fisica dal titolo "Neutrinos: a unique window on the Universe and its fundamental laws".
Abstract: In the past twentyfive years, our understanding of neutrinos has radically changed thanks to the discovery of neutrino oscillations in 1998. Most importantly, we now know that neutrino have masses and mix and this implies new physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). In this colloquium, I will briefly review the current knowledge of neutrino properties and the open questions, specifically the nature of neutrinos, their masses and the mixing parameters. I will then discuss the origin of neutrino masses in models BSM, with emphasis on dark sectors that extend the Standard Model at scales below the electroweak one and how to search for them.
