Perspectives for the next generation of low-energy neutrino experiments
Dr. Michael Wurm (Tübingen)

Low-energy neutrino physics has gone through a rapid development over the last decades: Following the discovery of neutrino oscillations, experiments have used various sources to measure the mixing angles and mass squared differences governing the oscillations. While most of these parameters have by now been determined, the mass ordering of the neutrinos as well as the CP-violating phase of the mixing matrix are still unknown. Therefore, neutrino physicists have set out to realize the next generation of large-volume neutrino detectors in order to address the remaining questions.
The related increase in target mass offers the opportunity to use these detectors as observatories for astrophysical neutrino sources: Both the Sun and core-collpase Supernovae are bright low-energy neutrino sources that will allow for a high-statistics measurement in future detectors. In addition, very faint neutrino signals like the cosmic Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background will become accessible.
The talk will give an overview of the most promising experimental projects and their scientific program in both oscillations and observation of neutrinos.
