A Theorist’s Perspective on Neutrino and Dark Matter Experiments

As the largest neutrino and dark matter experiments are launched, they will offer unprecedented opportunities to discover physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). In this talk, I will discuss the physics potential of these experiments over the next decade and explore the rich phenomenology of neutrino oscillations, focusing on expected signals in long-baseline and direct detection experiments. Probing BSM physics is difficult, as it often manifests as sub-leading effects.
However the presence of new particles and interactions can challenge our interpretation of data and profoundly impact the neutrino CP-violation measurement and dark matter detection. The combination of multiple experimental results will be crucial in distinguishing new physics from the standard one.
