Andreopoulos group IG feed

Our group is mainly active on accelerator-based neutrino physics. After a decade (2010-2020) of pursuing a leading 3-flavour analysis on T2K, we switched gears focussing on physics exploitation of the SBND experiment, and of the broader Fermilab SBN program, on physics exploitation of the JUNO experiment, and on quantum computing. We focus on some of the biggest questions in our field (search for right-handed neutrinos, determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy) and work to develop new computing paradigms.
The group is known for its expertise in the area of advanced neutrino data analysis and physics simulations, and we lead VALOR and GENIE, two well-known brand names in neutrino physics. We're also starting to focus on quantum computing for particle physics simulations, contributing to efforts at the Fermilab SQMS centre.
