On October 21, 2011, at CERN, the Neutrino Working Group, led by Dave Wark, convened to discuss vital topics for consultation within the field of neutrino physics. The meeting covered diverse areas including long baseline neutrino oscillations, global activities in Europe, America, and Asia, reactor measurements, and potential future projects like gravitational waves. Coordination among major experiments and consortia was emphasized along with the importance of community engagement through open symposiums and public comment. The group's comprehensive approach aims to advance neutrino research collaboratively.

Neutrino WG Plans for Consultation Dave Wark Preparatory Group Meeting, CERN 21/10/2011
Areas to be Covered • Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillations (Accelerator) • European activities (Projects in Europe and European participation in other projects) • American and Asian activities • ReactorMeasurements of q13 • Short Baseline/Sterile Neutrinos (accelerator and reactor) • Atmospheric Neutrinos • Solar Neutrinos • Supernovae Neutrinos (Burst and Relic) • Geoneutrinos • How do we coordinate with non-neutrino subjects which are handcuffed to LBNO? • Proton Decay • Other underground physics (future gravitational waves?)
Areas to be Covered • bb decay – some coordination needed? • Direct neutrino mass measurements • Tritium b decay • Bolometric measurements • Neutrino mass indications from cosmology • Relic Neutrinos • Neutrino propagation • Hadron production measurements • Neutrino cross section measurements • Not address smaller areas (mn, etc., as these are still at national scale) • Who/how to handle High-E n astronomy?
How to Consult? • Seek written input: • Major Consortia (LAGUNA-LBNO, EuroNu, NEU2012, etc...) • Major Experiments • Lab directors (CERN, FNAL,KEK/J-PARC,LNGS,SnoLab,...) • National societies? • Meetings: • Open symposium • European Neutrino Town Meeting • Presentation/session at Neutrinos 2012? • Release proposed material for public comment/consultation?
