The conference “Neutrino Telescopes” has arrived at its XIII edition. It is a very nicely organized workshop, held in Venice every year towards the end of the winter or the start of the spring. For me it is especially pleasing to attend, since the venue, Palazzo Franchetti (see picture below) is located at a ten minute walk from my home: a nice change from my usual hour-long commute with Padova by train.
This year the conference will start on Tuesday, March 10th, and will last until Friday. I will be blogging from there, hopefully describing some new results heard in the several interesting talks that have been scheduled. Let me mention only a few of the talks, pasted from the program:
- D. Meloni (University of Roma Tre)
CP Violation in Neutrino Physics and New Physics - K. Hoffman (University of Maryland)
AMANDA and IceCube Results - S. Enomoto (Tohoku University)
Using Neutrinos to study the Earth - D.F. Cowen (Penn State University)
The Physics Potential of IceCube’s Deep Core Sub-Detector - S. Katsanevas (Université de Paris 7)
Toward a European Megaton Neutrino Observatory - E. Lisi (INFN, Bari)
Core-Collapse Supernovae: When Neutrinos get to know Each
Other - G. Altarelli (University of Roma Tre & CERN)
Recent Developments of Models of Neutrino Mixing - M. Mezzetto (INFN, Padova)
Next Challenge in Neutrino Physics: the θ13 Angle - M. Cirelli (IPhT-CEA, Saclay)
PAMELA, ATIC and Dark Matter
The conference will close with a round table: here are the participants:
Chair: N. Cabibbo (University of Roma “La Sapienza”)
B. Barish (CALTECH)
L. Maiani (CNR)
V.A. Matveev (INR of RAS, Moscow)
H. Minakata (Tokyo Metropolitan University)
P.J. Oddone (FNAL)
R. Petronzio (INFN, Roma)
C. Rubbia (CERN)
M. Spiro (CEA, Saclay)
A. Suzuki (KEK)
Needless to say, I look forward to a very interesting week!
