Neutrino: Completely polarized particle “Song Memorial Symposium” (고 송희성 교수 추모 심포지움) 서울대 상산수리과학관, 2017년 4월 12/13일 김수봉 (서울대 물리학부)
My master thesis advisor “Final Polarizations in quasielastic neutrino nucleon scattering” (1988)
My publication with Prof. Song
Particle Polarization & Dirac Equation Helicity (spin polarization) : - Left handed (LH) & right handed (RH) helicities Dirac equation : - A relativistically moving point-like fermion
Completely Polarized Neutrino LH neutrino & RH antineutrino : - Left handed Standard Model (SM) - Massless neutrino in SM (no interaction between LH and RH neutrinos) Discovery of neutrino oscillation and mass : - Nobel prize in physics (2015) : Kajita and McDonald - Requires modification of SM to include the neutrino mass and the right handed neutrino
Calculation with QED Calculation of transition amplitude : - Doing “trace” of g -matrices - Cross section : usually “trace” of 4 or 6 g –matrix products Calculation of polarized transition amplitude : - Even “trace” of 8 g –matrix products !!!
