Objective
Since the measurements performed by the Super-Kamiokande neutrino observatory confirmed that these elusive particles indeed "oscillate" neutrino physics has entered a new era. This spectacular result suggests that neutrinos have novel properties beyond the standard model of particle physics, a basic question of present-day science that had remained unanswered for the better part of this century.
With the door to new physics just opened, neutrino physics and astrophysics are assured to be in focus of the scientific community for years to come. Our series of conferences proposes to address the basic open issues in astrophysics and cosmology with a special emphasis on the leading theoretical ideas beyond the present Standart Model of particle physics and to promote those theoretical cross-links between different aspects of neutrino physics and astrophysics which naturallly arise at the present time in this fast-developing field. It will address the particle and nuclear physics aspects of neutrinos as well as the fascinating role they play in cosmology and astrophysics.
Our proposed series will come at a very strategic time when actual discoveries in the field of neutrino physics from the new generation of underground experiments are already starting to change the shape of our picture of the Universe. For the first of our proposed meetings it is likely that data from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory will already be available and these, together first results from new CMBR measurements, could have a far-reaching impact. For the second meeting we envisage to have the first results from the Borexino and other relevant experiments, which should shed new light on the solar neutrino problem. The proposed series of meetings could open the door to a stronger European presence in this exciting branch of fundamental science, especially if it is continued on a regular basis.
