SUMMARY:NEUTRINO SEMINAR: Scintillating Science with Long-Baseline Neutrino
	 Detectors
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Denver Whittington\, Indiana University\n\nPart of th
	e Departmental Seminars.\n\nNeutrinos are perhaps the least understood memb
	ers of the Standard Model of particle physics\, but that is rapidly changin
	g. Precision measurements from state-of-the-art detectors placed in long-ba
	seline neutrino beams are revealing details about their masses and mixing. 
	The NOvA experiment uses a 14 kiloton liquid scintillator detector to ident
	ify neutrinos which travel across an 810 km baseline. The collaboration rec
	ently reported its first observations of neutrino oscillation effects\, and
	 data collected over the next few years will provide insight into questions
	 about neutrino mass and violation of CP symmetry. With a 1300 km baseline 
	and wide-band neutrino beam\, the planned Deep Underground Neutrino Experim
	ent (DUNE) will probe even further to make definitive measurements of these
	 neutrino mixing parameters. The DUNE far detector will house 40 kilotons o
	f liquid argon\, instrumented with a time projection chamber and scintillat
	ion photon detectors. I will discuss recent and future physics results from
	 NOvA\, as well as the design and capabilities of DUNE. I will focus on the
	 role and performance of the DUNE light detection system and share recent r
	esults from our investigations into the detailed structure of the liquid ar
	gon scintillation signal.
