\nOPTIONAL SEMESTER COURSE\n

\n

2018 announcement

\n

The lecture course analyzes the problems of modern neutrino physics: rest mass, oscillations, non-conservation of lepton number, sterile neutrinos. A review of experimental studies of neutrinos of various origin (reactor, solar, atmospheric, accelerator, galactic and geoneutrino) in underground, underwater and under-ice low-background laboratories of the world is given. Methods of searching and studying other rare nuclear-physical and astrophysical phenomena that are not described by the standard model are considered.

\n

We will talk about current results, as well as plans for the development of the international GERDA experiment (search for neutrinoless double beta decay of Ge-76, which violates the lepton number), about the Troitsk nu-mass and KATRIN experiments (precision measurement of the tritium beta decay spectrum for determination of the neutrino resting mass), EMMA, and Mu-monitor (measuring the fluxes of high-energy cosmic muons penetrating underground). These studies are conducted in the underground laboratories of Italy (LNGS), Finland (CUPP) and Spain (LSC), at the research centers of the INR RAS (Troitsk) and the University of Mainz.

\n

The lecturer is a participant of the international collaborations GERDA and EMMA, the leader of the Mu-monitor project, the head of the MIPT Nuclear Physics Experiment Methods group. Students - members of the group - conduct scientific and educational work in international pilot projects, participate in meetings and directly cooperate with researchers from different countries.
