6th New Physics Opportunities at Neutrino Facilities Workshop (NPN2026)

Description

This workshop is the sixth in the series New Physics Opportunities at Neutrino Facilities (NPN), which aims to bring together both theorists and experimentalists to actively discuss new physics opportunities at current and future neutrino facilities.

The primary focus of the NPN 2026 workshop will be on the present status and future directions of accelerator-based neutrino experiments. The workshop aims to provide a platform for detailed discussions on future experimental strategies, facility developments, and the synergies between different accelerator-based neutrino programs, with an emphasis on how they can collectively advance neutrino physics and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model.

Within this context, we aim to explore the physics landscape beyond the measurement of leptonic CP violation. 

The NPN 2026 workshop will be held on May 26–28, 2026 in Mito, Ibaraki, Japan.
