| 5 | <p>The<strong> AstroParticle and Cosmology</strong> laboratory |
---|
| 6 | located 10, rue Alice Domon et Léonie Duquet at Paris 13e |
---|
| 7 | will host the next International Workshop on Next Generation Nucleon Decay and Neutrino Detectors (NNN08). <strong>The Workshop will be held in the Physics Building on the Paris 7 University Denis Diderot campus, Thursday through Saturday, September 11-13, 2008 with a registration on Wednesday the 10th afternoon</strong>. The Workshop is sponsored by the CNRS/IN2P3, CEA/DAPNIA and Paris 7 University and several industrial partners.</p> |

---|
| 9 | <p>NNN08 will be the eighth in a series of workshops to discuss future large underground detectors, as well as the theoretical work that motivates and describes such advances. New detectors will explore proton decay lifetimes over 10^35 years, and advance our understanding of the neutrino sector, including mass hierarchy, additional oscillation parameters, CP violation, supernova dynamics, and high energy cosmic neutrino sources.</p> |

---|
| 11 | <h3>Topics</h3> |
---|
| 12 | <p>During the three day workshop in Paris, we will survey the results from current neutrino oscillations and nucleon decay searches, |
---|
| 13 | we will review theoretical interpretations of the existing results as well as the theoretical developments in supernova neutrino physics and discuss the future goals of the next generation neutrino detectors. |
---|
| 14 | We will exchange ideas for new massive underground detectors, and very long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. The workshop will be informal, with emphasis on lively discussions and exchange of ideas.</p> |
---|
| 15 | |
---|
| 16 | <p>The Workshop will consist of a balance between review talks (invitation) and short contributions (call for abstract) during 5 plennary sessions. Topics will include but certainly not be limited to the following.</p> |
---|
| 17 | |
---|
| 18 | <ul><li> Nucleon decay theory and experiments</li><li> Theoretical developments and experiments on (relic) supernova neutrinos</li><li> Next-generation solar neutrino and neutrino mass measurements</li><li> Reactor neutrino experiments present and future</li><li> Present Accelerator experiments and future Superbeams, BetaBeams, Neutrino Factories projects</li><li> Large detectors development and construction : water Cerenkov, scintillator, LAr and other types </li><li> Developments in underground site evaluation and engineering</li><li> Developments in photodetectors, DAQ and related matter </li><li> Simulation and Analysis software for future large experiments</li></ul> |

| 19 | <h3>Practical information</h3> |
---|
| 20 | <p>See the <a href="http://nnn08.in2p3.fr" class="spip_url spip_out">http://nnn08.in2p3.fr</a> for travel and lodging information, abstract submission and registration forms. In case of problem use the <strong>Contact LOC</strong> bouton. We plan a welcome reception and a social dinner and excursion (nicknamed “Seine trip” hereafter) on a boat on the Seine river. Weather in Paris during September is typically excellent, with moderate temperatures and moderate rain. Paris is a major tourist destination, so please book early.</p> |
