Oscillating Neutrinos in Heaven and Earth
Maria Concepcion Gonzalez Garcia
(SUNY Stony Brook and Universitat de Valencia)
Abstract:
In this talk I will describe the phenomenology associated with
neutrino oscillations and I will review the evidence for neutrino mass
from solar and atmospheric neutrino experiments, as well as from the most
important laboratory searches for neutrino oscillations. I will also
briefly discuss the main implications for theory.

Spectral properties of random manifold ensembles
John Wheater
(Oxford University)
Abstract:
The propagation of particles in random backgrounds is of interest from several points of view. Disordered media is one but my own originates in discretized quantum gravity. I will discuss some of the background and the motivation for this. Recently there has been considerable progress in obtaining essentially exact results for some problems of this type. The methods are actually very simple and intuitive and I'll explain how they work. Finally there are of course many open problems still and I'll close with them.
