NF07: Applications
Co-Conveners: Nathaniel Bowden (LLNL), Jon Link (Virginia Tech), Wei Wang (Sun-Yat Sen U.)
Description
The ‘Applications’ topical group will focus on a range of potential applications for neutrinos. As our knowledge of the underlying neutrino physics continues to improve in concert with detector technology, the door is opened to using the unique nature of the neutrino to access information where it is otherwise difficult or impossible. Furthermore, the technology and skills that neutrino physicists develop are often pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved and may find use in other fields. This topical group will explore and develop the overlap between applications and active fields of research within the neutrino community, while also highlighting areas where stronger connections could be developed with other disciplines, user communities and sponsor agencies. Specific applications to be addressed include:
- Nuclear reactor monitoring; using neutrinos emitted in fission for treaty verification and instrumentation
- Geoneutrinos; gaining insight into the internal composition and dynamics of the Earth using neutrinos from radioactive decay
- Geotomography; using high-energy cosmic ray neutrinos to probe the interior structure of the Earth
- Neutrino Astronomy; studying astronomical phenomena from the neutrinos they emit
- Nuclear Data; using reactor neutrinos to improve the precision and accuracy of related nuclear data
- Applications of technology developed for HEP experiments
- Neutrino and HEP physics as a workforce pipeline for nuclear nonproliferation and security organizations
