New Physics at Neutrino Facilities: a Plethora of Possibilities

Presented by Kevin Kelly (Texas A&M)

For nearly two decades, spurious results at neutrino experiments have encouraged speculation that new physics is lurking in the neutrino sector. Most notably, the MiniBooNE low-energy excess has spurred on development of the Short Baseline Neutrino program at Fermilab, designed to robustly explore these possibilities. In this talk, I will summarize the current status of searches for new particles in neutrino facilities and offer some perspective on novel strategies in the decades to come. I will also highlight new software, PETITE, developed with these facilities in mind, that can aid in performing phenomenological studies.
