Biography

Mark Hartz specializes in neutrinos, particularly neutrino mixing and the Charge-Parity (CP) violation. His experimental research establishes neutrino oscillations, mass mixing, and flavor states, contributing significantly to our understanding of neutrinos' mass. Participating in the T2K experiments, Hartz works on identifying the smallest mixing angles of neutrinos, which could reveal CP violation in neutrino oscillations. This CP violation is crucial as it may explain differences in behavior between neutrinos and their antimatter counterparts, antineutrinos. Hartz aims to make precision measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters by observing muon neutrinos oscillating into electron neutrinos in experiments conducted at the Super-Kamiokande detector in Japan. His future research will further explore CP violation through the upcoming Hyper-K experiment, which anticipates measuring the degree of CP violation in neutrino interactions.
