Professor Takaaki Kajita, who won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery regarding the mass of neutrinos, was set to visit our own Institute of Physics this fall. The visit was cancelled due to the corona pandemic, but he has kindly agreed to instead host a number of special lectures and discussions, including a Science Colloquium session open to all our staff and students. This digital event will take place on 3 November during lunchtime. Professor Kajita is a particle physicist from Japan, who's most famous experiment involved neutrinos. Neutrinos are one of the main components of all atoms. For a long time, they were thought to have no mass.
