SUMMARY:A Deep Look for New Physics with Neutrino Oscillations\, NPAC 
 (Nuclear/Particle/Astro/Cosmo) Forum\, Taritree Wongjirad\, MIT
DESCRIPTION:The study of the neutrino is currently one of most promisi
 ng ways to search for beyond Standard Model Physics.  Already\, a beyo
 nd Standard Model effect has been observed wherein neutrinos  transfor
 m from one type to another through a process known as neutrino oscilla
 tions. Through further measurements of neutrino oscillations\, the fie
 ld aims to answer additional open questions such as “do neutrinos an
 d anti-neutrinos behave the same way?” and “how many types of neut
 rinos are there?”. The answers will impact not only our understandin
 g of particle physics but also will influence our models of how the un
 iverse evolved. However\, to get to these answers\, neutrino experimen
 ts will need to move into an era of high-precision measurements.   One
  way to achieve this is through the use of a detector known as a liqui
 d argon time-projection chamber\, or LArTPC. These detectors are capab
 le of producing high-resolution images of neutrino interactions that c
 an be used to reject backgrounds more effectively than past experiment
 s. In this talk\, I will describe the LArTPC experiments that will tak
 e place over the next decade and how they will aim to search for signs
  of a new type of neutrino and to measure CP-violation in the neutrino
  sector.  I will describe some of the opportunities and challenges I h
 ave faced as a member of the MicroBooNE experiment\, which is now succ
 essfully employing a LArTPC detector. In particular\, I will describe 
 efforts to analyze LArTPC data using Deep Learning.
