Byeongsu Yang (Chonnam National University), Kyu Jung Bae (Kyungpook National University)

Overview

“CPNR Scientific Program 2026” is hosted by Center for Precision Neutrino Research (CPNR), and held at Chung-Ang University, Seoul, South Korea. 

Programs are divided into two categories.

1. CPNR focus program
    
2. CPNR workshop

 

Among these, the 2nd annual “CPNR workshop 2026: Neutrinos and Physics beyond the Standard Model” will be held at October 26, as a part of the annual CPNR Scientific Programs. 

• Date: 2026.10.26 (Mon) 09:00 - 18:00
• Place: Chung-Ang University Art Center Art Hall (Building 301) 
• Contact: byang@chonnam.ac.kr, kyujung.bae@knu.ac.kr

 

Special nobel lecture: This year's CPNR workshop 2026 is being held as part of the NNN2026 satellite program. Furthermore, a nobel lecture by Nobel laureate Barry Barish (2017, LIGO & gravitational waves)  is scheduled from 6:00 PM. 

 

The CPNR workshop will cover the following topics:

• Neutrino Precision Measurements
   
• Neutrino Models
   
• Sterile Neutrinos
   
• Dark Matter
   
• Physics beyond the Standard Model
   
• Detectors

 

The workshop consists of lectures, invited talks, and contribution talks from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. 

We hope that this program will be a valuable time and beneficial event not only for students and professors, but also for researchers interested in neutrino physics.
