There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

The School of Physics welcomes Imperial College London Professor David Wark on "Neutrino Oscillations Between Near and Far."
Abstract:
The discovery of neutrino oscillations has been one of the major advances in our understanding of particle physics in recent times, and we are still trying to fully understand them and the insights they may give to physics at very high energies and perhaps even into the matter-anti-matter asymmetry of the universe. Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiments are becoming one of the main tools for the study of neutrinos. The talk will briefly outline the history and physics of neutrino oscillations and long baseline experiments, and then discuss results from the current round of experiments - OPERA, MINOS, and now T2K. I will then discuss what is coming in the near future from existing and under construction experiments, and the exciting new possibilities being opened up by new proposals in the US (and elsewhere).
