Professor Karsten Heeger, Yale University
Abstract
Understanding the nature of neutrinos is one of the key questions in particle physics. In this talk I will report on recent results from our work to search for neutrinoless double beta decay and probe the nature of neutrino mass with the CUORE and CUPID experiments. I will also discuss the vision for US particle physics as described in our recent report of the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5).
