Overview

NuFACT 2018 is the twentieth in the series of yearly international workshops which started in 1999 and which had previously been called the International Workshop on Neutrino Factories. The change of name to International Workshop on Neutrinos from Accelerators is related to the fact that the workshop program has, over the years, come to include all current and future accelerator and also reactor based neutrino projects, including also muon projects, not only the Neutrino Factory project.

The main goal of the workshop is to review the progress of current and future facilities able to improve on measurements of the properties of neutral and charged lepton flavor violation, as well as searches for new phenomena beyond the capabilities of presently planned experiments. The workshop is both interdisciplinary and inter-regional in that experimenters, theorists and accelerator physicists from Asia, the Americas and Europe share expertise with the common goal of reviewing the results of currently operating experiments and designing the next generation of experiments.

The NuFACT 2018 workshop is divided into five Working Groups covering the following topics:

1. Neutrino Oscillation Physics (Working Group 1),
2. Neutrino Scattering Physics (Working Group 2),
3. Accelerator Physics (Working Group 3),
4. Muon Physics (Working Group 4), and
5. Neutrinos Beyond PMNS (Working Group 5).

The registration fee is $450 if you register by the early registration deadline of June 15th, 2018.

After that the late registration fee will be $550 through the end of registration on July 29th, 2018.

 
Information for Participants

Registration check-in:

• Registration check-in will be Monday, August 13th from 8:00 to 11:00am in the 1st floor lobby area of the Hahn Hall North Wing.

Airport Transportation

• You can sign up for free shuttle service from Roanoke (ROA) on Sat/Sun August 11/12 and Sat/Sun August 18/19 by emailing your arrival/departure information (day, time, airline, flight number) to nufact2018@phys.vt.edu prior to August 8. We will make every effort to accommodate everyone's schedule on those days.

Parking on Campus:

• Parking will be complimentary to all conference attendees on campus from August 11- 19. Please park in the Perry Street area C/G or F/S spaces. Please reference this campus map to find the Perry Street garage. All meters must be paid.

Local Transportation:

• If you are staying in a hotel that is not in easy walking distance to campus you may want to check out Blacksburg Transist's local bus schedule.

Wireless Internet Connection

• Virginia Tech is an Eduroam site, so if your home institution supports Eduroam you should be able to connect without doing anything. In case you don't have Eduroam, we have created a wireless access code for all conference participants, which will be distributed at registration.

Plenary Session Location: (see campus map)

• Hahn North 130

Breakout Session Rooms:

• Working Group 1: 130 Hahn North
• Working Group 2: 210 New Classroom Building
• Working Group 3: 230 New Classroom Building
• Working Group 4: 110A New Classroom Building
• Working Group 5: 110B New Classroom Building

Coffee breaks will be outside of 130 Hanh North.

 

This workshop is sponsored by the Center for Neutrino Physics, Virginia Tech's Department of Physics, Virginia Tech's College of Science, and Virginia Tech's Office of the Vice President of Research and Innovation.
