Neutrinos are invisible particles and neutrino information is reconstructed from particles created by neutrino interactions. Neutrons are also created by these interactions, but are usually ignored in neutrino experiments. However, modern neutrino astronomy experiments such as SNO and Super-Kamiokande, as well as the future Hyper-Kamiokande and DUNE experiments, will utilize information of outgoing neutrons to improve neutrino measurements. Thus, a quantitative understanding of neutron properties from neutrino interactions is needed.

The IoP Astroparticle Physics and Neutron Scattering groups will hold a one-day joint event to discuss the latest problems of neutron detection and simulation in neutrino detectors, and potential neutron beam tests in the UK to improve them.

The workshop will take place on November 8 (10:30-17:00) at The Great Hall, King’s College London. Although the event is free, registration is required due to space limitation. Limited travel funding will be available for students and early career researchers.
