JANET CONRAD: My primary research interest
is in neutrino physics.
Neutrinos are one of the standard model particles.
The thing that's interesting about neutrinos
is that the standard model that we have
tells us how particles are supposed to behave.
And the neutrinos are not following the rules
of our standard model.
We don't completely understand why,
but it's one of our first clues that we have had,
of the particles that we really know and understand,
that there must be beyond the standard model physics.
So we are using that to try to look for beyond standard model
physics, and that's what I love to do.
