First Bulletin (January 2005)
1. General information
After "Neutrino 2004"
the convergence of results from atmospheric, solar,
reactor and accelerator experiments confirms the massive neutrino and
gives the first opportunity to test physics beyond the Standard Model.
The neutrino oscillations picture is still missing 3 fundamental
ingredients: the mixing angle θ13,
the mass pattern and the CP phase δ.
Future neutrino beams of conventional and novel
design aimed at a megaton type detector could give access to these parameters.
Such a detector would also be the next generation
facility for proton decay searches and an invaluable supernovae neutrino
observatory.
There are currently studies
for building such a detector in at least three regions in the world (Japan, US
and Europe). This workshop, faithfull to the tradition of previous NNN
conferences, aims at a wide discussion on the roadmap and the overall
coordination of the megaton scale detector community.
The meeting will be organized on April 7-9 in Aussois,
a little village in the french
Alps, 10 km away from the Frejus tunnel, which hosts the Modane
Underground Laboratory. A collaboration meeting will be held by the
UNO Collaboration one day earlier (April 6).
Information about the conference is available on the conference
website
2. Scientific programme
The programme will consist of invited plenary talks only. The following
subjects will be covered: 3. Transparencies and Proceedings
Copies of the transparencies will be available on the website immediately
after the conference.
A white book based on the contents / conclusions / deliberations / presentations
of the workshop is planned.
4. Registration
Registration will be opened in January 2005 on the conference website.
Registration fees:
The deadline for registration is February 28 2005. The fees
include accomodation and full boarding (from April 6 dinner-time to April
9 lunch-time for NNN05 participants and from April 5 dinner-time to April
9 lunch-time for NNN05+UNO participants).
5. Committees
International Advisory Committee:
A general discussion on strategy will be held during the workshop.
