Monday 8th June
12:30-13:30 Lunch
14:00-14:30 Introduction
14:30-16:30 LFV from GUT see-saw models and from TeV see-saw models:
- 14:30-15:00 LFV in GUT theories (G. Ross)
- 15:00-15:30 LFV in TeV see-saw models (E. Ma)
- 15:30-16:30 Discussion (M. Frigerio)
- Is it possible to discriminate between GUT and TeV-scale see-saws?
- How do these models inscribe into a more general theory?
- Where does the smallness of neutrino masses come from, and does it require fine-tuning anywhere?
- How can flavor mixing be implemented? Is it possible to define some "benchmark" scenarios? If so, which ones?
- Is it possible to come up with plausible arguments for the precisions required for theta13, deltacp, and the Majorana phases?
- What information on the origin of neutrino masses can be obtained from the mass hierarchy measurement?
16:30-17:00 Coffee
17:00-18:00 Neutrino physics and cosmology/astroparticle physics complementarity
- 17:00-17:30 Neutrinos in astroparticle physics and cosmology (S. Hannestad)
- 17:30-18:00 Discussion (P. Di Bari)
- What measurements on neutrino properties can we expect from cosmology/astrophysics?
- How do they compare to terrestrial information?
- How do we estimate the systematic errors in the measurement of neutrino parameters from cosmological observations?
- What is the impact of a non-standard evolution of the Early Universe?
- Are there particular models with interesting signatures in astrophysics/cosmology?
19:30-20:30 Dinner
Tuesday 9th June
09:00-11:00 A theoretical perspective on lepton flavour physics at the TeV scale within i) SUSY models ii) extra-dimension models
- 9:00-9:30 TeV LFV in SUSY models (S. Khalil)
- 9:30-10:00 TeV LFV in non-SUSY BSM models (F. del Aguila)
- 10:00-11:00 Discussion (A. Santamaria)
- How does the generation of neutrino masses and flavour mixing at the TeV scale fit into the wider perspective of particle physics models?
- Are there any generic features (i.e., model-independent)?
- What can we learn about flavor in the lepton sector (model-dependent versus model-independent)?
11:00-11:30 Coffee
11:30-12:30 Leptogenesis in the context of neutrino mass models: model dependent versus model independent considerations
- 11:30-12:00 Leptogenesis (A. Abada)
- 12:00-12:30 Discussion (E. Nardi)
- Under what conditions can a connection between low and high energy CP violation be established?
- Is it obvious to believe in leptogenesis if a low energy CP violation and lepton number violation is observed?
- Can one get additional information in the context of LFV?
13:00-14:00 Lunch

- Lepton flavour violating decays
- In the combination of different information, what are the most interesting physics scenarios from the phenomenological (=parameter) and theoretical (=model) point of view?
- When can we expect interesting connections?
- How to search for new physics in neutrino experiments?
16:30-17:00 Coffee
17:00-18:30 Round table on a preliminary discussion on performance indicators in long baseline experiments (K. Long)
- What performance indicators are currently in use?
- What are their advantages/disadvantages?
- How can one compare experiments in an objective way?
- What does it change if theta13 is discovered in the immediate future?
