    This document summarizes a student's research presentation on neutrinos. The presentation covered the history and discovery of neutrinos, including their theoretical origin and anomalous behavior. It explained the student's own research investigating neutrino oscillation through zenith and mixing angles. The research indicated support for the Majorana hypothesis that neutrinos have mass, as evidenced by a high mixing angle. The student hopes to continue studies in physics and mathematics and to pursue nonprofit and business ventures applying science and technology to help people worldwide.

    How many people have

    heard about Neutrinos?


    They are the universe’s smallest, abundant,
    and mysterious particle.

    Neutrinos: The Origin Story
    ● Paul Dirac was an American-British theoretical
    physicist at the University of Cambridge
    ○ Studied particle physics
    ○ Attempted to create an equation to describe
    the behavior of electrons moving at the speed
    of light
    ● Dirac’s Legendary Equation
    ○ All elementary particles must have a counter-
    mass or negative mass - later dubbed
    Antimatter
    ● Important consequence to all elementary particle -
    Duel Charality
    ○ For every particle, there must be an
    British-American antiparticle, and for all particles and
    antiparticles either have left or right charility
    Physicist Paul Dirac
    The Particle Anomaly

    ● Discovered in 1930s as a byproduct to Elemental


    Beta Decay
    ● Neutrinos were theorized and violated Dirac’s
    Particle behavior expectations
    ● Italien-Indian Physicist Ettore Majorana
    investigated the neutrino problem
    ● Found a solution that allowed the mass matrix
    variation, on the condition that neutrinos have
    mass
    ● Neutrinos were widely believed to be massless by Italien-Indian
    physicists, so there was no way to really verify the theoretical Physicist
    hypothesis Ettore Majorana
    The experiment that changed everything

    ● The famous 1998 Super-Kamiokande Experiment


    discovered neutrino mass
    ● Discovered an interesting phenomenon called
    neutrino oscillations
    ● Neutrino oscillations were key to understand the
    neutrino mass matrix
    ○ The race to understand neutrinos is on!
    ● Won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics for
    revolutionary discovery
    ● Information for Neutrino oscillation can be broken

    Takaaki Kajita; 2015 Nobel into two distinct categories: Mixing Angles and
    Prize Physics laureate Zenith Angles
    My Research Results
    Neutrino Research: Zenith Angles
    ● When neutrinos interact with matter,
    they give off a specific resonance
    frequency within the interaction
    ○ Resonance frequency is
    influenced by mass matrix
    ○ Resonance frequency is called
    Zenith Angles
    ○ With the variation in particle mass
    behavior predictions by Dirac and
    Majorana create different Zenith
    Angles
    Neutrino Research: Mixing Angles
    ● When the Neutrino Particle does
    oscillate in its mass states equally
    ● The neutrino oscillation is dictated by
    the neutrino mass matrix
    ● Dirac neutrino mass hypothesis
    would mean there is a low mixing
    angle; Majorana neutrino mass
    hypothesis would indicate a high
    mixing angle
    ● Research Indicates a high mixing
    angle Variation between Neutrino Mixing
