Abstract:
The neutrino oscillation and their mass hierarchy (mass ordering) has been very interesting topics in particle physics. The experimental pursuit and discoveries have been quite fruitful in recent years for such elusive tiny neutral leptons.
In this talk I will introduce the underground Daya Bay reactor antineutrino experiment which discovered the non-zero 3rd mixing angle in April 2012 and their recent results after six years running. I will also give the status of the new initiative JUNO experiment to measure the mass ordering of neutrinos in the near future.
Brief Bio:
Prof. Yee Bob Hsiung received his bachelor degree (1976) at NTU Physics Department and Ph.D. (1986) in Physics at Columbia University.
He has been working on particle physics experiments of discovering direct CP violation in neutral kaon decays and rare K and B-meson decays, as well as LHC-CMS experiment to search for new physics (top and Higgs), and in recent years on Daya Bay neutrino oscillation experiment discovering none-zero 3rd mixing angle.
He was the co-spokesperson of KTeV experiment at Fermilab before he returned to NTU in 2002 and APS Fellow in 2000.
He received the Outstanding Scholar Awards from the Foundation for the Advancement of Outstanding Scholarship (2003-2008), and was the Physics Department chair and the President of PSROC in Taiwan.
Recently he received the 17th National Professorship of ROC in Taiwan from Ministry of Education. Also sharing the 2016 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics on Daya Bay experiment.
