NEXT ELUSIVES AND INVISIBLESPLUS WEBINAR: "Neutrino masses from gravity"

Webinars

Specialist level

Speaker:

Jessica M. Turner

Institution:

Fermilab

Location&Place:

IFT Audiovisual Room

Abstract:

In this talk I will discuss neutrino masses in general and demonstrate that non-zero neutrino masses can be generated from gravitational interactions. In this work we solve the Schwinger-Dyson equations to find a non-trivial vacuum thereby determining the scale of the neutrino condensate and the number of new particle degrees of freedom required for gravitationally induced dynamical chiral symmetry breaking. We show for minimal beyond the Standard Model particle content, the scale of the condensation occurs close to the Planck scale.

IMPORTANT: we have changed the videoconferencing system recently and we will use Blackboard Collaborate from now on. The interface is very similar to the Adobe Connect one; however, we encourage you to connect 5 minutes in advance to become familiar with the new system. We have tested it on Mac OS with Chrome, and Linux with Firefox, and both worked fine for us.
