Abstract

Over the last 25 years, we've made rapid progress understanding the fundamental nature of neutrinos. We're now faced with several outstanding questions. What is the nature of neutrino mass? What is the ordering of the three known neutrino masses? Do neutrinos oscillate differently than antineutrinos? These are challenging questions, and the answers will require a new generation of sophisticated neutrino detectors. Consequently, experimentalists have pushed themselves in many different directions in search of elegant and economical detector designs. I’ll begin with a brief summary of the current status of neutrino physics and the major questions that we need to answer. I’ll follow up with a discussion of a select number of recent developments in neutrino detector technology that could help answer these outstanding questions.
