The NN group research goal is to futher pursue discoveries of new and rare phenomena (such as neutrino oscillations, proton decay, neutrinos from supernovae, etc.), and to make precision measurements of lepton mixing matrix elements including the CP violating phase. In order to achieve this goal we are currently involved in two on-going experiments, Super-Kamiokande and T2K. In the past, we were involved in the K2K experiment that was completed in 2007. The group is involved in the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) at Fermilab, a leading-edge, international experiment for neutrino science and proton decay studies. The Stony Brook Neutrino and Nucleon decay and (NN) Group was originally established with Prof. Jung's DOE OJI award.
