SOME RECENT PAPERS TALKS AND
MONOGRAPHS:
- Introduction
to the Hanohano Project, presented at the XII Venice Neutrino
Telescopes Workshop, Feb. 2007
- News in Neutrino Astronomy, plenary talk at
27th International Cosmic Ray Conference, Hamburg
Germany, 14 August 2001. This is best
viewed with Internet Explorer (thanks to Bill Gates). You can also find
the powerpoint file in this same directory, which is prettier. Individual
jpeg files are in http://www.phys.hawaii.edu/~jgl/forum/icrc-hamburg/
A postscript version of the actual lecture can be found at http://www.phys.hawaii.edu/~jgl/post/hamburg.ps
- A general audience colloquium about neutrino mass and
oscillations, in powerpoint format.
- ``Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillations'', an
article detailing the evidence for muon neutrino oscillations in the
atmospheric muon neutrino data, and including discussion of implications
and future experimental directions, John~G.~Learned, Chapter in ``Current
Aspects of Neutrino Physics'', David O. Caldwell, ed., Springer-Verlag
(2001); draft at hep-ex/0007056.
- ``High Energy Neutrino Astrophysics'', John
G. Learned and Karl Mannheim, Ann. Rev. of Nuc. and Part. Science, 50,
679-749 (2000). The version here was the nearly final draft of a general
review of potential neutrino astronomy sources and detection techniques.
- ``Atmospheric Neutrinos'' , an update on the atmospheric
neutrino oscillations results from SuperK, ``Proced. of the NNN99 meeting
in Stony Brook, 9/23-26/99'', ed. M. Diwan, APS Conf. Proced. 533
(AIP, NY 2000).
- ``Neutrinos Have Mass!'' a six page
non-technical article about the present state of research on neutrino mass
and its place in the universe, coauthored with Vernon Barger of U. Wis.
(6/99).
- ``Neutrinos have mass!'', J.~G.~Learned, SLAC
Beam Line 29 (1999) No. 3, 8-15. This is a Sci. Am. level summary of
the state of the field, in a somewhat large .pdf file.
- ``An Introduction to Neutrino Astronomy'', a
five page non-technical description of the motivation for undertaking
neutrino astronomy, and the present state of attempts to open a new window
on the universe (5/99).
- ``The Neutrino Eye: A Megaton Low Energy Neutrino and
Nucleon Decay Detector'', published in the Proceedings of the
International Workshop on Simulation and Analysis Methods for Large
Neutrino Detectors, DESY Zeuthen, Germany, July 6-9, 1998, C. Spiering,
ed.
- ``Baryon Number Violation'', published in
the Proceedings of the Fifth International WEIN Symposium, June 14-19,
1998, Santa Fe, New Mexico, C. Hoffman, ed.
- ``Evidence
for Oscillation of Atmospheric Neutrinos'', The Super-Kamiokande
Collaboration, Y. Fukuda, et. al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 81,
1562 (1998), hep-ex/9807003. This is now the most quoted experimental
paper in the field.
- ``Detecting
Tau Neutrino Oscillations at PeV Energies'', John~G.~Learned
and Sandip~Pakvasa, preprint UH-511-799-94, Astroparticle Physics J.,
3, 267 (1995). This widely quoted paper proposes the Double Bang
signature for high energy tau neutrino detection.
Some notes of possible
interest, about neutrino oscillations, now rather out-of-date (from mid-98):
