Dr. Francesco Vissani (INFN, Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso)
Introduction to neutrino astronomy
The emphasis is on observational results, although, due to the multi-disciplinary nature of the field, we will touch on various other aspects, especially astrophysics, particle physics, etc. The plan of the exposition is as follows:
0) Introduction: link between neutrino studies and high energy physics
1) Neutrinos from the Sun: history; role of nuclear physics; inevitability of neutrinos; state of the art
2) Neutrinos from Earth: reaction used for detection; type of telescopes; theory and results
3) Neutrinos from Supernovae: more on SN1987a; next steps
4) Neutrinos from the Cosmos: from atmospheric neutrinos to the exciting results of IceCube
5) Neutrinos and the Primordial Universe: cosmic neutrino background; genesis of matter
