While thousands of scientists work around the clock to exploit the potential of the Large Hadron Collider to uncover evidence of new physics, a quiet revolution has taken place in the field of neutrino physics. In 2015, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded jointly to the SNO+ and T2K experiments for showing that neutrinos oscillate (change flavour) and must therefore have mass; this is the first evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model.
Lisa and Charlie are undertaking an optical calibration study for the SNO+ experiment whilst also blessing SNO+ data to the standard required for use in rigorous physics analysis
Simon leads the team responsible for the overall calibration of the SNO+ detector. In a rare-event search, the detailed understanding of the detector response is key to get the maximum sensitivity for the detector.
