Scientific Program
With the IPA Symposium, WIPAC revives the historic Telemark meetings on neutrino physics. The topics include neutrino astronomy and related multiwavelength messengers (cosmic rays, high-energy gamma rays, gravitational waves), neutrino properties (including accelerator-based experiments), and related cosmological and dark matter aspects of particle astrophysics. The format will follow that of the Madison Pheno meetings with morning plenary talks and afternoon parallel sessions.
Confirmed plenary session talks include:
- Trevor Weekes, Overview and History of TeV Gamma-Ray Astronomy
- Giorgio Gratta, Overview of Double Beta-Decay Experiments
- Yvonne Wong, Cosmology and Neutrino Mass Constraints
- Jordon Goodman, Results from Milagro and Status of HAWC
- Nathan Whitehorn, Results from IceCube
- Jenny Thomas, Overview of Accelerator Neutrino Experiments
- Keith Bechtol, Results from Fermi
- Günter Sigl, Origin and Acceleration of Cosmic Rays
- Paul Sommers, Ultrahigh-Energy Cosmic Rays
- Sarah Church, The Planck Mission
- Brian Humensky, CTA and the Future of High Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy
- Stefan Schoenert, Overview of Solar Neutrinos
- Tao Han, University of Pittsburgh
- Antonio Jesus Melgarejo Fernandez, Columbia University
- Lauren Hsu, Fermilab Center for Particle Astrophysics
