SUMMARY:Using kaons to unlock the secrets of the neutrino\, NPAC (Nucl
 ear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Joshua Spitz\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:More than 80 years after its proposed existence\, the neut
 rino remains<br>
\nlargely mysterious and elusive. Despite this fact\,
  we are closing in<br>
\non answers to some of the big questions surro
 unding the "little<br>
\nneutral one". After an introduction to the ne
 utrino and neutrino mass\,<br>
\nI will discuss two of the most import
 ant open questions in particle<br>
\nphysics and cosmology today: (1) 
 How many neutrinos are there? and (2)<br>
\nIs there a difference betw
 een matter neutrinos and antimatter<br>
\nneutrinos?<br>
\n<br>
\nWhen
  a charged-kaon decays at rest\, it usually produces a<br>
\nmonoenerg
 etic (236 MeV) muon neutrino. Recently\, this unique neutrino has been
 <br>
\nidentified as an important tool in helping to eventually answer
  these<br>
\nbig questions. I will discuss the "kaon decay-at-rest" co
 ncept for<br>
\nneutrino physics and present a set of experiments that
  will be able to<br>
\nperform the relevant measurements in the next f
 ew years.
